In the world of haute horlogerie, time is not just measured-it is imagined. Nominated watches in this year's Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) brings to life timepieces that transport us to realms of fantasy, where celestial skies, mythological gods, and cosmic journeys blur the line between reality and dream. Each nominated creation is a testament to the power of imagination, weaving stories that go far beyond mere mechanics.
CELESTIAL ELEGANCE
The Arnold & Son Perpetual Moon 38 Night Tide is a mesmerising timepiece that evokes a sense of otherworldly fantasy. Its striking aventurine dial, adorned with shimmering constellations and a radiant mother-of-pearl moon, captures the enchantment of the night sky. With a precise moon phase complication and delicate 38mm case, this watch offers a poetic balance of elegance and technical craftsmanship. The deep blue and silver tones, reminiscent of a starry ocean, transport the wearer into a dreamlike, celestial realm.
COSMIC BALLET
Time becomes an ethereal ballet in Van Cleef & Arpels' Lady Arpels Jour Nuit watch. Awed by the cosmos, this 33mm marvel immerses the wearer in a poetic journey through day and night. Stars and a diamond-paved moon pursue the guilloché sun across a rotating aventurine disc, creating a celestial dance. With delicate openwork and Murano aventurine glass evoking the infinite sky, this timepiece captures the dreamlike magic of the universe as a stunning blend of art, horology, and fantasy.
