The nominations made by the GPHG Academy only serve to approach brands and encourage them to enter their watches, but ultimately it is entirely made up of brand entries in the first round. The GPHG will not accept an entry based purely on nominations alone as there is a fee to be paid, a small amount for the first round, then an additional fee if the watch is selected for the second round.
If there is a direct link between a jury member (jury being those selected from within the academy that particular year), they cannot vote on the categories which that brand entered in the second round. They're free to do so in the first round though, but then, most of the time the composition of the jury is not finalized until after the first round.

Apologies, the jury restriction is actually in the third round, i.e. when there are only six watches per category. At that point, the jury must meet in person to make their votes, while the GPHG Academy also votes again, but the entire academy of more tha...

For me I never understand bovet. It is a brand I don't know much about, their design aesthetic is not my style, and I see their prices and I am blown away at how high they are. . I'm sure a super high quality watchmaker, but really amazed.
Rexhepi is the clear winner in my book.

Looking through the nominees, this is very interesting artistically and mechanically imho.
