News: The Winners at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève 2022

Eagerly awaited each year by watchmaking professionals and enthusiasts, the 22nd awards ceremony of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève, poetically hosted by Edouard Baer, was held today Thursday, November, 10th, 2022 at Geneva’s Théâtre du Léman. The GPHG Academy —regrouping 650 key figures in the profession worldwide— and the 2022 Jury chaired by Nick Foulkes saluted watchmaking excellence and expertise by attributing 21 prizes including the famous “Aiguille d’Or” Grand Prix “best-in-show” distinction, which was awarded to MB&F for the Legacy Machine Sequential Evo watch.

Akrivia, Bulgari, Grand Seiko, Ferdinand Berthoud, Grönefeld, H. Moser & Cie, Hermès, Krayon, M.A.D. Editions, Parmigiani Fleurier, Sylvain Pinaud, TAG Heuer, Trilobe, Tudor, Van Cleef & Arpels, and Voutilainen brands were also honored with one of the prestigious awards.

The Special Jury Prize, which rewards a key figure or institution in the watchmaking world, was attributed this year to François Junod, automaton-maker and sculptor.

The 90 nominated timepieces, including the winners, are on display at the Musée Rath in Geneva until November 20th, 2022. The 2022 winners will also be presented in New York from December 1st thru the 4th, 2022.
