An international academy composed of more than 650 stakeholders from the watch industry has selected the timepieces. Watches at the exhibition will be in the running to win one of the 20 awards given away every year, including the prestigious Aiguille d’Or Grand Prix, which will be handed out on November 10 in an awards ceremony at the Théâtre du Léman. Hosted by Edouard Baer, the ceremony will be broadcast live on GPHG.org, Euronews.com and in deferred mode on Léman Bleu and Hantang Culture.
