The GPHG Academy
Now in its third year of existence, the GPHG Academy has over 650 members. Rapidly adopted by the watchmaking world, this vast network encompassing ambassadors of the passion for watchmaking is growing in number and skills to reinforce its role in highlighting the industry. A success story in several respects, the GPHG Academy has become a valuable means of sharing and promoting watchmaking culture, while at the same time democratizing the nomination and voting process. The members of the Academy take part in the various stages of the competition: first of all, they are invited to propose timepieces for the competition; once the brands have made their entries, they select the nominated timepieces, then take part in a second vote in the autumn to determine the award-winners alongside the jury. |

Introducing the AIKON #tide by Maurice Lacroix
Maurice Lacroix unveiled the brightest, funkiest range of watches, offered in an array of eye-popping colours. The AIKON #tide is made to be noticed. And, best of all, the AIKON #tide is helping to make the oceans a little bit cleaner, thanks to revolutionary technology that converts discarded plastic waste into Swiss quality watches. The AIKON #tide shares the same attributes as other members of AIKON family, but is formed of #tide ocean-bound upcycled plastic combined with glass fibre. The resultant composite material is twice as hard as standard plastic, five times more resistant and has a carbon footprint significant less than the production of virgin PET. The bezel, case, case back, crown, end-piece and buckle on this new model are all made from this composite material. It takes 17 bottles to make one fabulous watch and its tailor made packaging, 100% made of #tide ocean material®. It’s a win-win deal. |
