Buying Vintage Watches at Plainpalais + The GPHG Watchmaking Awards Exhibit, November 16, 2024

On Saturday I took my iPhone to Geneva's famous Plainpalais flea market. Join me on a tour that includes all of the vintage watches that I could find! We also stop by the Rath Museum and take a look at some of the GPHG nominated and winning watches for 2024. chapter index: 00:00 Pont du Mont-Blanc and arrival 02:18 Mary Shelley's Frankenstein sculpture 02:58 five minutes of close-ups of very beat up mechanical watches 8:19 Valjoux 88 on another customer's wrist 8:54 negotiation and purchase of 100 Chf Ginsbo-matic (after looking at 30 jewel Consul) engraved Marti AG 11:07 short review of the ETA 2789-1 in the Ginsbo-matic 12:09 arrival at the GPHG exhibit and the Rath Museum 13:53 a beginner watchmaking lesson at the GPHG 14:29 HEAD (Haute école d'art et de design) exhibit at the GPHG 17:59 GPHG watch exhibit with prices 31:14 conclusion and quick stop at the Parc des Bastions Highlights include buying another ETA 2789-1 dual language day date Ginsbo-matic for 100 Chf. The watch is engraved by Marti AG, Solothurn as an employee appreciation gift but is not engraved with an employee name, which suggests that it was never presented to an employee.

The GPHG (the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève) is a non-profit foundation that awards prizes to the most important new watches created or released each year. As part of its mission it exhibits the nominated timepieces at several different locations around the world, giving the public unparalleled access to view watches that would be very difficult and often even impossible to otherwise view first hand. Unfortunately my friend Arafat was not at the flea market today but we'll catch him another time!
