The 2025 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève: Meet the High-profile Finalists

The acclaimed Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), widely recognised as one of the watch industry’s most vital annual awards events, has disclosed the finalists for the 2025 awards. These honours are set to be officially assigned at a ceremony in Geneva on November 13, 2025. First established in 2001, the GPHG functions as a public-interest foundation, starting its selection process with the GPHG Academy. This international entity consists of several hundred key players in the industry, including editors and horology aficionados, who assist in determining the nominees. A jury of 30 esteemed members then gathers to examine the finalists in person before the November awards event.

Each year, the GPHG announces its ‘Competing Watches’, which consists of entries from across the industry. Even though there is a fee involved for entries and for reaching the finals, brands eagerly participate, further enhancing the GPHG’s global standing. Traveling worldwide for public exhibitions before the final judgement takes place, these timepieces represent the artistry and precision of premium horology.

It is in these top-line categories, including the ‘Ladies’ Watch and ‘Ladies’ Complication’, where horological magnificence is truly celebrated. Showcasing exquisite designs from brands such as Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Voutilainen 28CG, they promise to redefine watchmaking parameters in terms of aesthetic allure and mechanical wizardry.
