Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix : 2011 Edition

Its 11th edition, the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix was organised for the first time by the Foundation of the same name, whose Board, presided over by Carlo Lamprecht, consists of representatives of the City of Geneva, the International Horology Museum in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Timelab and Edipresse. The ceremony took place on November 19th at the Grand Théatre de Genève and was attended by 1500 guests, including a number of personalities from the worlds of arts, sport and politics. This was followed by a VIP upstairs dinner bringing together the main leaders in the watchmaking industry, as well as an official after-party at the Kiosque des Bastions, organised by Les Ambassadeurs and the new official Grand Prix partner, the Banque Privée Edmond de Rothschild.
