GPHG 2023 - Nominations and World tour

The 850 members of the GPHG Academy gave their verdict this summer. By digital means and under notarial supervision, they shortlisted 90 timepieces. These 84 watches and 6 clocks are in the running to win one of the 20 prizes at this 23rd edition of the GPHG, including the prestigious Grand Prix de l’Aiguille d’Or. The Fondation du Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) invites you to discover the official preselection for 2023, as well as the stages of its world tour on gphg.org.

Each year, a series of exhibitions brings together the shortlisted watches before the prize-giving ceremony, followed by the competition winners, for an international audience of enthusiasts and amateurs alike. Organised in collaboration with local partners, these exhibitions help to promote watchmaking culture around the world, while also offering conferences, discussions, workshops and other public and private events.
