This Prize => => Best Watch Under 5,000 Swiss Francs
In Response To: Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève: Cal 1887 Wins a Prize ()

For anyone who wonders about exactly what this prize represents, "La Petite Aiguille" (the small hand) rewards the best watch of the year whose price is under 5'000 Swiss francs. Some of the other brands in this category included:

  • Bell & Ross
  • Eterna
  • Frédérique Constant
  • Montblanc
  • Movado
  • Piaget
  • Porsche Design
  • Vulcain
As we see so many brands developing all kind of crazy, super high-end watches, with the super high-end prices, I can't think of a more important prize than this one. Who knows . . . some of us may even be able to afford one of these Cal 1887 Carreras!!
