The Ga\u00efa Prize<\/h1>\n

Creativity, innovation, insight, originality. Each year, the Ga\u00efa Prize celebrates the dynamism of the watchmaking world.<\/p>\n

In 1993, the International Watchmaking Museum created the Ga\u00efa Prize to honour individuals who have contributed, or are contributing, to the renown of watchmaking\u2014its history, its techniques, and its industry. Unique in its kind, the Ga\u00efa Prize stands out by selecting the best among the best. The museum sought to acknowledge the spiritual heirs of the watchmaking culture that permeates both its collections and the city itself.<\/p>\n

The Ga\u00efa Prize was established in tribute to one of the museum’s first patrons, Maurice Ditisheim, who was the Chairman of the Board of the Bureau de Contr\u00f4le des Ouvrages en M\u00e9taux Pr\u00e9cieux (Precious Metals Assay Office). It has earned a reputation on the international watchmaking stage as “the Nobel Prize” of watchmaking.<\/p>\n

Ga\u00efa, in ancient Greek, means “Earth,” and is also the name of the goddess symbolizing it.<\/p>\n

The Ga\u00efa distinction is represented by an acrylic globe pierced by a beam of light.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
