The Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève has published the full jury for its 2026 edition, the first under new president Wei Koh, the Revolution and The Rake founder appointed to the role on March 18, 2026. The lineup is now live on gphg.org ahead of the 26th awards ceremony, set for Saturday, November 7, 2026 at Geneva’s Bâtiment des Forces Motrices.
The panel is leaner than before. As part of an overhaul announced in April, the foundation cut the jury from 30 members to 24 to allow more in-depth deliberations. Half the members are drawn by lot from the GPHG Academy, the body of more than a thousand industry stakeholders whose digital vote counts for one-third of the final result, while the other half are chosen by the jury president. The 2026 panel spans collectors, retailers, journalists, and watchmakers, including Dubai Watch Club co-founder Adel Al-Rahmani.
The jury will meet behind closed doors in the days before the ceremony to examine the competing watches in person and vote by secret ballot under notarial supervision. “The Jury comprises some of modern horology’s most passionate and discerning scholars, collectors and experts and we are fully committed and ready to rise to the occasion,” Koh said in the foundation’s announcement.
