Sans titre-13

After much deliberation, the jury of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve 2014 awarded the “Aiguille D’Or,” the event’s top prize to Breguet’s Classique Chronométrie. Earlier in the evening Breguet also picked up the Public Prize for the Breguet Classic Dame. Blancpain and Omega completed this year’s haul for the Swatch Group by taking the Ladies’ Watch and “Revival” prizes respectively.

The other big winner last night was Jean-Claude Biver’s LVMH group, which also received multiple nods, including wins for Hublot, Zenith and Bulgari.

The GPHG otherwise recognized the creative and independent spirit of the industry, by rewarding a brands such as Urwerk, Voutilainen, De Bethune, Grönefeld and Urban Jürgensen & Sonner.

The winning watches will soon be on their way to London’s Saatchi Gallery, where they will be put on display during SalonQP. We will have the chance to sit down with some of the winners and their newly decorated pieces then.
