Our Predictions In The Iconic Category Of The 2020 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG ...

The Iconic category emphasizes men's or women's watches from a brand's emblematic collection, meaning one that has had a lasting influence on watchmaking and its history as well as having been on the market for more than 20 years Watch brands certainly need no encouragement to revisit their past collections and, if one of their remakes is an exceptional watch, it should compete on its own merits in whichever category it fits JM: Once again we return to the Iconic category, the only category where it seems a bit presumptuous to enter your own timepiece and the minimum requirements for longevity means the watch could be from this century, hardly what I would usually categorize as Iconic.

The logo'd bezel is probably the most iconic aspect of the Aluminium Chronograph, but in my head it is associated with fashion and not a specific watch JM: The Piaget Altiplano is as iconic as you can get when it comes to ultra-thin dress watches, pretty much defining the aesthetic of the entire category ED: Ah, the "Tuna" There is hardly a more iconic diver's watch, is there? A watch line that made its debut in 1975, this year's version is updated in that it has the ability to dive to 1,000 meters, making it a true instrument.

IS: Like so many other nominated watches here, I scratched my head as to why the Seiko Professional Diver's 1000M is in this category. . Source
