Meet The Winning Watch Brands Of The 2015 Grand Prix D' Horlogerie Geneva

Last Thursday, the 2015 Grand Prix d’ Horlogerie Genève (GPGH) awards took place in Geneva. These awards constitute the largest watch competition in the world and are the watch industry's equivalent to the motion picture industry’s Oscars.

Held annually, GPHG receives about 200 watch submissions for the contest, which are then pared down by a panel of judges to the final 72 that compete for a winning spot in more than a dozen different categories. Here, we bring you a rundown of the 2015 GPHG winning watches — some of which we are proud to carry.
