GPHG 2016 – Ferdinand Berthoud wins the Aiguille d’Or (plus all the results by category)

Just like the media and entertainment industry, the watchmaking world also has its awards, in the name of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève or GPHG 2016 – also known as the Watchmaking World’s Academy Awards. Last year, the Grand Prix was given to Robert Greubel and Stephen Forsey, with their Tourbillon 24 Secondes Inclined Vision, and a Jury Award for Watchmaking was given to Vacheron Constantin’s three master watchmakers who created what is the most complicated watch in the world, the 57260. This year, we have our own Xavier Markl attending the show and me, behind my keyboard, writing live so you can have the results as soon the ceremony finishes.
