The list of finalists for the 2021 edition of the GPHG (Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève) was recently unveiled. It includes 84 watches, divided into 14 categories. Each category will see a winner, but only one watch will win the most coveted prize, the Aiguille d'Or. The award ceremony will be held in Geneva, at the Théâtre du Léman, on Thursday 4 November. However, in the months leading up to the award ceremony, the GPHG has organised a global tour of the competing watches, so that watch enthusiasts from all over the world can observe the competing models.
