Exposição dos 70 relógios pré-seleccionados. Da organização:

As a prelude to the prize-giving ceremony, around 350 privileged guests congregated at the Cité du Temps in Geneva to view the exhibition of the 70 watches pre-selected by the jury to compete in this 12th edition of the GPHG.

This travelling exhibition, which has made stop-overs in Zurich, Hong Kong and Shanghai before being presented to the Geneva public from November 2nd to 8th in the Cité du Temps, represents one of the rare opportunities to see the finest contemporary timepieces assembled in one location.

The scenography of the exhibition, created by three graduates of the Geneva University of Art and Design (HEAD), transforms the area surrounding Geneva into a watch presentation box. Three different mountain settings – Les Voirons, the Jura and the Salève – become three unexpected exhibition showcase areas. A pair of binoculars mounted in the centre invites visitors to enjoy a decidedly different, simultaneously all-embracing and yet intimate view of the watches on show – thereby transforming observers into intrepid horological explorers.

Votação para o Relógio do Público

Like each year, during the run-up to the prize-giving ceremony, members of the public are invited to vote for their favourite watch. At a few clicks of the mouse on http://www.gphg.org, or on-site at the Cité du Temps, internet users and visitors can vote to award the “Public Prize” and thereby take part in the prize draw to win a luxury watch.

Exposição em Moscovo

After the ceremony, the three watches nominated in each category, as well as the winners of the “Aiguillle d’Or” Grand Prix and the Public Prize, will make a last stop in Moscow, where they will be on display at the Swiss Embassy.

Aplicações iPad e iPhone

A GPHG iPhone and iPad app presenting the watches taking part in the competition is available free of charge from the Apple Store.
