Watch The GPHG 2022, The Oscars of Watchmaking, Tonight Live on MONOCHROME

Tonight, as every year, is the celebration of watchmaking, watchmakers and watches in general… It is the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève – or GPHG 2022 – the Oscars of the watchmaking industry. Several categories are represented (ladies, men, complicated and even affordable watches with the Challenge category) and the best watches of the year will be awarded the coveted Golden Hand prize in each category. And of course, the prize we’re all waiting for, the Aiguille d’Or or the best of the show, celebrating the best watch introduced in 2022. As MONOCHROME is one of the official press partners of the show, we’ll be broadcasting the event live from 06:30 PM (Europe Time) tonight. Stay tuned on MONOCHROME!
