At a ceremony held last week in Geneva, before some 500 personalities from the world of watchmaking, winning prize was given to Guido Terreni, Managing Director of the Watch Business Unit of the Bulgari Group. As the jury said, this prize rewards "a watch both technical, with its jumping hour, retrograde minutes and date, and masculine, with a contemporary design, while remaining perfectly harmonious". With a difference of one vote, the second prize went to the "innovative and efficient" Annual Calendar by Patek Philippe (Ref. 5205), a piece who seduced by his "sobriety, its beauty and convenient wearing" and by "the always excellent manufacturing quality of its calibre".

Hailed for its "elegance and technique, this feminine and ethereal piece" was awarded the third prize and also the Woman' Watch Award 2010. As for the Special Jury Award, a price that it is free to give or not, it comes this year's to the Upside Down Number One by Ludovic Ballouard, "a humble and daring young watchmaker" who signs with this first creation, a "technical, poetic and playful" piece.
