Watches shortlisted by the GPHG Academy presented in India

Geneva, 10 October 2022 – The first leg of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) 2022 travelling exhibition was inaugurated with great fanfare last night in New Delhi.

The watches shortlisted by the GPHG Academy were the centre of attention for watch lovers this weekend in the prestigious setting of New Delhi’s Leela Palace.

These Indian watchmaking days, which kicked off on the evening of 7 July with an official reception at the Swiss Embassy residence, brought together experts and collectors for a rich programme of meetings and debates organised by Ethos Watches, a partner of this 2022 exhibition in India.

“India is a fast-growing market, destined to become one of the largest in the world. It is also gradually maturing to understand and appreciate the emotion and craftsmanship involved in creating high-flying mechanical watches. At the forefront of this transformation process, Ethos is both delighted and grateful that the GPHG has agreed to collaborate with us to bring the exhibition of shortlisted watches for the 2022 edition here to New Delhi. This is a unique platform for Indian aficionados to be confronted with the best of fine watchmaking, and also for the participating watch brands to interact directly with India and watch lovers in this country.”

Yashovardhan Saboo, Founder and Chairman of Ethos Limited.

“The GPHG is particularly grateful to be able to count on Ethos Watches once again to showcase 2022 watchmaking creativity in India, a promising market in the years to come. Our mission is to promote watchmaking in all its facets, and the world’s largest democracy is fertile ground for the development of its values of tradition, precision and innovation. We sincerely hope that our presence here will arouse the interest of watch enthusiasts as well as vocations in new generations.”
Raymond Loretan, President of the Fondation du Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.

After New Delhi, the watches shortlisted by the GPHG Academy will fly to Morocco, where they will be exhibited for the first time in Africa from 20 to 23 October in Casablanca.
These timepieces are in the running for one of the 20 prizes, including the prestigious Grand Prix de l’Aiguille d’Or, to be awarded on 10 November in Geneva at the ^22nd GPHG awards ceremony.
