I do like the look of that VC though....
This year's GPHG selection:

Most of them don't look like watches to me. Maybe they're the horological equivalent of ortolan birds and ikizukuri fish.

Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I think the Montblanc Monopusher is really nice.

Plug for Ming 19.01 which has submitted in the Petite category, which is great to see from a micro brand (even if not to everyone's taste).
A watch I've been waiting for a while and can't wait to receive in the coming months!
I agree, caught my eye too. How is the Ikepod in the list though, the relaunched company hasn't even launched on Kickstarter yet according to what I read today on Hodinkee - and even then it's only a generic quartz movement in a Mark Newson look-a-like case?Originally Posted by Parabola
Wow, the majority of the conventional watches look out of place.
It's just a matter of time...
There are quite a few PSM, a Voutilainen and a couple of de Bethune that I’d happily wear. But thewinner for me isMax’s Legacy.

How much is the entry fee this year?
I always thought entry wasn't quite high, but you needed a certain number of the jury to nominate?
Looking in more detail, I like the challenge category - under CHF4000 including an allowance for smart watches. In particular I like the Gorilla wandering hours, comes in at great value and I think design wiseore coherent than their last offering.
Russian roulette extreme could be useful.
Love the bvlgari's and the hublot sapphires.
Bumping this up - the entries have now been whittled to a 'pre-selected' list of 6 per category. Any favourites for people here?

The Zenith defy classic is nice: http://gphg.org/horlogerie/en/watches/defy-classic
Did this get shortlisted? I can't see it - only the El Primero 21, Defy Zero G and the CP-2.
I'm a fan of the Ming 19.01 (I have to be as I have one on order!), the Gorilla (using a Vaucher module to create the wandering hour complication), the Habring2 and the Freak Vision.
I see a lot of smaller brands getting recognition which is great exposure for them - lets see how many of them actually win awards....
The VC ultra thin annual for me, but I did rather like the Seiko.
Good effort by Mont Blanc.
The Singer re-imaged would be nice if I could afford the car to go with it.

No, it's only on the 'main list'. http://gphg.org/horlogerie/en/gphg-2...ting-watches-0
The Octo Finissimo Tourbillon is definitely one of my favourites. Anyone wanna loan me 100k? :)
Yes, it's a stunning timepiece for sure, it stood out as soon as I saw it.
