Hodinkee - The 2017 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) Finalists

The Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) has just announced the 72 pre-selected timepieces that will vie for the most prestigious awards in watchmaking later this year. Each of the 12 categories has been narrowed down to just six finalists, and some of the results may surprise you. These are the timepieces that the jury of the 17th Grand Prix, including our own Jack Forster, will vote on when they meet in Geneva just ahead of the November 8 awards ceremony. Without further ado, here are the watches in their respective prize categories.
