Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Geneve (GPHG) is undoubtedly the most prestigious event in the watchmaking industry, which annually gathers the best luxury watch brands to compete in design and functionality of their latest creations. Winners are selected in a variety of categories, including the Aiguille d’Or awarded for the best Haute Horlogerie masterpiece. However, one of the most interesting categories has always been “Ladies’ High-Mech” that brings together exceptional ladies luxury watches with both sophisticated mechanisms and eye-catching design. For today, only six models have remained in the competition. The winner’s name will be drawn and announced at the award ceremony held on November 10, 2016.
