Re: CW Moonphase in the GPHG 2024 finalists
Interesting full list here. Lots of big names, and some well known names absent.
It says it's peer-nominated, rather like the Oscars, so I don't think CW are paying an entry fee themselves, if you will
CW are in one of the categories towards the bottom.

Re: CW Moonphase in the GPHG 2024 finalists
Challenge section = 3000 CHF or less.
Last year the Bel Canto won the Petite Aiguille = 3000 - 10,000 CHF
The only other brand I’ve heard of in the Challenge section is Furlan Marri, and then only in passing.

Re: CW Moonphase in the GPHG 2024 finalists
@JAFO I think it’s a combination of both i.e., you can be approached to enter but can also submit your own pieces. From what I see it’s a CHF 800 entry fee and then CHF 7,000 if you’re nominated.
I’m interested to know what criteria the Challenge class is judged by other than the price that Steve mentions above. Couldn’t really find any further detail on that.
Not too many pieces across the entire nominations I’m too keen on!

Re: CW Moonphase in the GPHG 2024 finalists
Yep a combination. If a brand has a watch nominated it can decline the nomination. As you say brands can also self nominate.timepieces_and_bags wrote: ↑Tue Aug 27, 2024 11:08 am @JAFO I think it’s a combination of both i.e., you can be approached to enter but can also submit your own pieces.

Certain brands never appear, because they don’t want to play.
I started looking at the three hander category and thought you could put together an excellent collection just from those. Then looked at the other categories and it looks to me a stronger set of watches on the shortlist than I recall in previous years. Far less WTF is that nominations!

Re: CW Moonphase in the GPHG 2024 finalists
GPHG results are rather predictable
Tudor will win something
MB&F will win something (they couldn't enter in 2023 as they won the Grand Prix d'Or in 2022)
Given how much Furlan Marri are media darlings right now I guess they will win something.

Will CW be able to pull the proverbial Rabbit out of a Hat again this year?
It will be super kudos if they can.

What's the difference between C1 and C9. Still learning my way around the CW world.
