The Academy of the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) announced today its new list of 350 Academy members responsible for selecting the year’s top creations in the world of watchmaking. The Horological Society of New York (HSNY) is pleased to share that five HSNY officers have been appointed to the Academy. This year’s members include HSNY President Nicholas Manousos, HSNY Vice President, John Teifert, and HSNY trustees William Massena, John Reardon and Kiran Shekar. As the GPHG list expands, so does involvement from HSNY, marking the most officers on board to date.

According to the GPHG, Academy members will participate in two rounds of voting to determine this year’s watch models deemed worthy of awards such as best in “chronometry”, “jewellery”, “artistic crafts”, and more. The awards ceremony will be held on November 12, 2020. To learn more about the GPHG and its new Academy, please visit https://www.gphg.org/horlogerie/en.
