Created in 2001, the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) is a Foundation recognised as a public interest organisation since 2011.
The foundation is overseen by the Canton and City of Geneva, both represented by the Foundation Board chaired since 2018 by Raymond Loretan.
The main purpose of the Foundation of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) is to highlight and yearly reward the most remarkable contemporary creations and promote the watchmaking art worldwide.
The GPHG notably plays this unifying promotional role by staging an annual competition involving several hundreds of watches marketed during the year and attributing the highest awards in this domain. In doing so, it contributes to enhancing the traditions, skills and values of Swiss – and indeed universal – watchmaking culture.
Often referred to as the watch industry “Oscars”, the GPHG is a not-to-be-missed event in the watchmaking calendar and one of the sector’s most famous media showcases.
