Thursday evening in Geneva, the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) awards were held in the city’s Grand Théâtre. These are the Oscars of fine watchmaking. The nominees were announced in July, and then we got a shortlist in September, but now the waiting is over. According to a jury of 26 watchmakers, journalists, and industry experts, these are the best watches of 2015.
No surprises here. It wasn’t a shoo-in, but there’s no question Greubel Forsey is making some of the best watches on the planet right now. This is probably the most wearable model the company has made to date. It was one of my favorites at SIHH back in January, and I’m still impressed every time I see it. Bravo.
