Malmaison boutique by The Hour Glass in the heart of Orchard Road hosts the exceptional exhibition featuring the 72 pre-selected watches. After Venice and Hong Kong, the 72 watches pre-selected by the jury of the 18th Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) are being exhibited from October 17th to 21st in Singapore by renowned retailer The Hour Glass, within the splendid setting of its Malmaison boutique on Orchard Road.
On show for five days within this stunning environment imbued with art and culture, the exhibition open to the public welcomes visitors eager to admire the year’s finest watch creations, competing to win the prestigious “Aiguille d’Or” Grand Prix or one of the 16 awards to be handed out in Geneva on November 9th.
“Our organizational mission to advance watch culture necessitates us to devote resources to deepen our engagement with the watch collecting community both in Singapore and in the region,” Michael Tay, Group Managing Director of Singapore’s leading watch retailer and member of the jury of the GPHG 2018, said.
Rare Opportunity
The principal partner of the GPHG, LGT Private Banking, is also taking part in the event by choosing to offer its clients exclusive initiation sessions into the technical and artistic finesse of the timepieces on show, in the company of watchmaking experts.
A rare opportunity for these end customers to admire within a single location the diversity of today’s watchmaking creativity expressed through models by more than 40 different brands.
Annual Salute
Created in 2001 and overseen since 2011 by a foundation recognised as a public interest organisation, the GPHG is intended as an annual salute to the excellence of the contemporary watchmaking art.
