His Highness Sheikh Majid Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Chairman of
Dubai Culture and Arts Authority inaugurated today the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie
de Genève (GPHG), the only globally recognized independent international awards
for excellence in watchmaking. The exhibition will run until October 24th and
is free of charge for public viewing.
Carlo Lamprecht, President of GPHG Foundation commented, “This will be our
first time bringing these exquisite timepieces to the Middle East and it is a
pleasure to showcase this year’s edition of an event that has been dubbed the
watch industry “Oscars” by many, and offer the opportunity to experience the
watches that have been pre-selected by the distinguished jury of this 13th
Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix. I would also like to extend my gratitude to
Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons who have been a tremendous support in bringing the
exhibit to Dubai – a destination that is undoubtedly one of the world’s most
prestigious capitals and a luxury tourist destination that is on the verge of
becoming one of the world’s leading hubs in the field of finance and
international trade.”
Mr. Abdul Hamied Seddiqi, Vice-Chairman of Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, and jury member at the 2011 GPHG awards commented, “this exhibition is a milestone for the watch industry of the Middle East and serves as a reminder of the growing importance of Dubai as a pivotal tour de force within the region. To have the GPHG in Dubai is a great honor and a postivie sign of great things to come.
