What to expect from this year's Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève and where to watch the awards ceremony live.

On Saturday, November 7, the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève will return to Geneva for its 26th edition, bringing together 84 nominated watches competing across 19 prize categories, including the coveted Aiguille d’Or Grand Prix (known as the “Best in Show” prize).

This year’s ceremony marks an important first for the GPHG: It will be conducted entirely in English, reflecting its growing global audience and a shift toward increased accessibility to the public. The winning watches will be announced at Geneva’s Bâtiment des Forces Motrices beginning at 6:30pm CET (12:30pm ET) — and you can watch the livestream here at Hodinkee or on gphg.org .

The 84 finalists have already made stops in Mumbai and Bangkok before arriving in Geneva for the final stage of the competition.…
