Thanks for the informative post and great pictures.
I think all of the watches are interesting and most are aesthetically pleasing. I noticed on the Qian Guobiao watch that the bridge or whatever you call the piece holding the balance wheel looks very similar to the design I have seen on McGonigle watches, the only other place I have seen something like that. Thanks again for the post.
GPHG 2025: The Horological Oscars 😊
The Candidates are in, I can't remember the last time I've seen this many Amazing creations before. Exciting Times 😊👍. Credit to the GPHG, they highlighted pieces I didn't know about, although don't envy the Judges job, this year will be tough. I went thr...
The selection this year is well and truly mind-boggling....
Like you pointed out, the judges have their work cut out for them 💯% !
I'm waiting to see the six finalists per category!
And once we have the six finalists per category, I will organize our own WatchProSite "Fantasy" GPHG winners: where our members will choose their winners among the six semi-finalists in each category. We will do this in October!
I really look forward to reading your impressions and seeing your votes!
I can already see you're giving this a lot of thought - you might have an advantage in October!
A truly interesting roster indeed 👌🏻🙌🏻
I see the spirit of Luigi Colani is coming back (first piece for instance) 😉 Some truly exciting pieces you picked 👍🏻
Thanks for the great selection, Salman.
Lots to love in that line up. I look forward to part 2! All the best, Jon
For me
The double balance wheel is the most impressive and a watch I’d wear. I love the less is more aesthetic on display here. I also love the case design on the ipsomatic.
Thanks for sharing this post Salman. A lot to like here.
On first impression, the Sartory Billard/Studio Underdog is my top pick. I also like the Eberhard chronograph quite a lot. Thanks again. M4

Thanks a lot for filtering that for us :)
Some pretty loud designs with plenty of skeletonised models that are not really my taste. Few personal comments on the ones I like: - The Gübelin is very nice but I think their logo should change and be more neutral. - Sartory Billard do some brilliant st...
Part 2 of the GPHG Oscars 😊
Derek Pratt: Luca Soprana developed a Remontoir d’Egalité Constant Force mechanism with the help of a Reuleaux triangle, which you also find in the Wankel Rotary Engine, this is for me the Best of the Best of Horology all in One. Qian GuoBiao Facing The S...
The flush crown on the Andersen is really cool.
The last one looks most interesting to me aesthetically. Thanks for compiling these, Salman.
GPHG Oscars 2025 Part 3 Fun for Everyone 😊
Amida Sapphire Case: Full on 70s Vibes ❤️ Fears Arnos Pewter Blue: Very Elegant Watch, reminds me of the Dash Consoles on the T Bentleys in the 90s. Maghnam Noor Pop Up: So it's inspired by the 80s/90s Pop Up Headlights, that's Super Fun 😊 Cornell Watch C...
Thank you Salman for this very interesting selection
with some comments. My personal selection is very different from yours, but I would have to spend much more time discovering each watch to really be sure of how I feel. Thanks again. Best, Emmanuel FEMME Piaget Sixtie Voutilainen 28CG COMPLICATION POUR FE...
Very Cool 😊👍
I see some common choices like the Masa Sohkoku, Quiet Club Fading Hours, Andersen Split Second World Time and Raymond Weil Toccata, the Zenith GFJ is so beautiful ❤️ but the competition is vast and tough this year.
