The 2026 Jury, chaired by Wei Koh, and the GPHG Academy celebrated excellence and creativity in contemporary watchmaking by honoring 20 timepieces. Among the most coveted distinctions, the prestigious Aiguille d’Or Grand Prix was awarded to Rexhep Rexhepi for its Chronographe Flyback watch.
The Special Jury Prize, which recognizes an individual or institution that has made a significant contribution to the world of watchmaking, went to Patek Philippe for Watch Art Grand Exhibition.
The 84 preselected timepieces, including the award-winning watches, are on display at the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire in Geneva until Sunday, November 15. The winning watches will then travel to London, where they will be exhibited from November 18 to 23, 2026.
