After being exhibited in Dubai, Macao and Beijing, the selection of 70 watches chosen for the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix by a jury comprising 23 members from every continent, was presented to an international gathering of 1,500 guests at the Grand Th\u00e9\u00e2tre de Gen\u00e8ve on November 15th. Interspersed by video clips created by two HEAD* alumni, and the wit of Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Beigbeder, the prize-giving ceremony took place as a live link-up broadcast with Tourneau, New York, and in the presence of the municipal and cantonal authorities, the Chinese Ambassador to Switzerland and the President of the Swiss Confederation, Mr Ueli Maurer \u2013 who addressed the audience in general and the watch brands in particular. The entire event was translated into English and broadcast live on Euronews.com and Worldtempus.
\nAmong the 15 prizes handed over by various personalities and jury members, the supreme distinction went to Girard-Perregaux<\/strong>, which was awarded the \u201cAiguille d\u2019Or\u201d for the Constant Escapement L.M.

\nFor the past three years, the GPHG Foundation has devoted particular importance to the independence of the jury, and a new step was taken with this 13th edition which saw the number of members rise to 23, representing a broader range of fields of expertise. After making a first selection in July that enabled them to choose 7 watches in 10 categories, they convened at the Cit\u00e9 du Temps in Geneva on November 7th to choose the winners.
\nThey also took the initiative of awarding the Horological Revelation Prize, the Revival Prize and the Special Jury Prize \u2013 three categories for which the brands could not submit an application but were instead freely chosen by the jury. Within this decision-making body comprising collectors, designers, gemmologists, watchmakers, jewellers, journalists and other enthusiasts from around the world, one could be sure that no one particular discipline imposed its viewpoint and that the choice was truly democratic.
