Watch Photo Awards The monthly winners

Find here the winning photos of the monthly competitions.

The Watch Photo Awards, which were launched in the spring, reward the best watch photos submitted on a different theme every month, from May to October 2018.  At the end of each monthly competition, the WPA jury selects ten photos, according to the criteria of creativity, relevance to the theme and technical proficiency. These ten photos are published by the WPA’s media partners. The public then votes for the best of those ten.

All the monthly winners,  along with the authors of the other nine shortlisted photos, will be invited to the preview of the WPA exhibition at Geneva’s Museum of Art and History at the beginning of November, where the sixty photos on the six monthly themes will go on display. Watch-loving fans will be pleased to learn that the WPA exhibition takes place during the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève.

The shortlisted photos on the theme “Blue” also appear in the XXL special issue of GMT Magazine.

October competition

The current topical theme for October is "Black".
Black is black! But it’s also a mixture of all colour and all lights. Photograph your black watch or use the night as a background, for example. The theme “black” opens up infinite possibilities. Come out of the shadows and be creative!
