Announcement of the composition of the 2022 GPHG jury and its president

Geneva, 6 October 2022 – The Fondation du Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) is pleased to announce the composition of the jury for the ^22nd edition of the GPHG .

Historian, author and journalist Nick Foulkes will chair the next jury, which will bring together the expertise of thirty leading figures from the world of watchmaking and art to determine the 2022 winners.

“It is a great honour for me to chair the GPHG jury. As in previous years, this jury brings together a wide range of opinions and expertise, both from the watch industry and the wider cultural landscape. I am convinced that the GPHG has an increasingly important role to play in raising the international profile of the watch industry, both within Switzerland and abroad, while at the same time reinforcing Geneva’s status as the watch capital of the world in the ^{21st century.}

With a wide range of competences and perspectives, half of the jury was selected from the Academy and the other half by mutual agreement between the President of the jury and the GPHG.

The jury will meet behind closed doors in Geneva a few days before the award ceremony to physically evaluate the pre-selected timepieces and conduct the secret ballot under notarial supervision. The entire Academy will also participate in the selection of the winners by voting on the corresponding digital platform.

Reminder:
At the beginning of September, the International Academy of the GPHG, which brings together more than 650 players from the main sectors of the watch industry, selected the 84 watches and 6 timepieces in 15 categories that will compete for one of the 20 prizes for the best watchmaking creations of the year, including the prestigious Grand Prix de l’Aiguille d’Or.

The winners will be announced on Thursday 10 November at the 2022 awards ceremony at the Théâtre du Léman in Geneva. This federative and strategic event, dedicated to the promotion of contemporary watchmaking creations, will be broadcast live on Gphg.org, Euronews.com and by our media partners around the world and postponed by Léman Bleu and Hantang Culture.
