The 70 timepieces pre-selected by the jury of the 2013 Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix are being presented to the Genevan public from November 1st to 10th in La Cité du Temps.

This latest stage in the travelling exhibition, officially inaugurated in Geneva on October 31st, offers an exceptional opportunity to view some of the year’s finest horological creations in one place – all competing to win the prestigious “Aiguillle d’Or” or one of the 15 other GPHG awards. The scenography of the exhibition was entrusted to the preorder&soldout studio run by two alumni of the HEAD (Geneva University of Art and Design), winners of the 2012 AHEAD Design Incubator programme. It features an “ immersive staging evoking the intrigues and mysteries of timekeeping instruments and of watchmaking expertise”.
