The 70 nominees for the seven categories of the 2012 Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève have just been announced. As usual it’s a mixed bag of deserving and significant watches, alongside less interesting ones. And unsurprisingly there are watches that seem incongruous in their category also – like the Montblanc Bi-Frequence as a sports watch?

The winners will be selected by the jury (which is listed at the bottom of this page) and announced on November 15, 2012.
