Beyond the Clock - HEAD exhibition at GPHG 2024

From October 30 to November 17, 2024

MUSÉE RATH
Place Neuve
1204 Genève

 

HEAD – Genève presents Beyond The Clock, an exhibition conceived as an experimental laboratory to explore the concept of time in all its forms. The projects featured here were created by students from the Chair of Watch Design and the Master of Media Design.
These projects transcend traditional watch forms and address contemporary social and environmental themes.
These diverse approaches and creations illustrate how HEAD – Genève approaches watch design today, from a multidisciplinary professional perspective rooted in innovation, sustainability, and the exploration of time as a multifaceted concept.


The Grand Prix de l'Horlogerie de Genève
The main purpose of the Foundation of the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG) is to highlight and yearly reward the most remarkable contemporary creations and promote the watchmaking art worldwide.
The GPHG notably plays this unifying promotional role by staging an annual competition involving several hundreds of watches marketed during the year and attributing the highest awards in this domain. In doing so, it contributes to enhancing the traditions, skills and values of Swiss – and indeed universal – watchmaking culture.The GPHG awards ceremony held in November of each year draws elite representatives of the international watchmaking profession, united in honouring the finest creations and stakeholders who daily breathe vitality and creativity into the watchmaking world. Twenty or so prizes, including the “Aiguille d’Or” Grand Prix (Best in Show) distinction are awarded on this occasion.
