Geneva Exhibition Celebrates Watchmaking Ahead of Awards.

3 days ago7 min read

The stage is set not in a theater but within the hallowed halls of Geneva's Musée d’Art et d’Histoire, where a new exhibition, meticulously curated by the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, is raising the curtain on the breathtaking artistry of watchmaking ahead of its annual award ceremony on November 13th. This is more than a simple display of timepieces; it is a grand opening act, a prologue that builds anticipation for the main event, much like the overture of a great musical.The exhibition itself is a performance, with each watch—from the intricate ballet of a tourbillon to the silent, powerful drama of a perpetual calendar movement—playing a leading role. The craftsmanship on display is the equivalent of a masterfully composed score, where every gear and spring is a note contributing to a symphony of precision and beauty.This prelude in Geneva serves to remind us that these are not merely instruments of time but heirlooms of human ingenuity, each with a story etched into its dial and engraved upon its heart. The GPHG ceremony will be the final bow, the moment of applause and recognition, but this exhibition is where we, the audience, are invited backstage to witness the raw talent, the countless hours of rehearsal, and the sheer passion that makes the world of haute horlogerie a timeless spectacle. It connects the dots between the artist’s bench and the red carpet, celebrating the unsung heroes—the engravers, the enamellers, the assemblers—whose collective genius makes the final award-winning performance possible.
