Nearly 200 guests, representing the world of Haute Horlogerie, gathered in Amsterdam on the evening of Friday June 4, where the Supperclub Cruise ship was ready to float through the Amsterdam Port area. On board the 10th ‘Watch of the Year’ ceremony took place, organized by the largest Dutch watch magazine: 00/24 Horloges.
There were several Awards to be won, corresponding with the various price ranges of the participating watches. The winners of the prestigious Watch of the Year Awards are: Nomos Zürich (category up to 3,000 Euro), Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Date 986 Duo (category 3,000 - 10,000 Euro), Blancpain L Evolution Phase de Lune 8 Jours (category 10,000 - 25,000 Euro), A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk (category 25,000 Euro and above) and the Hublot Big Bang Tutti Frutti Apple (category Ladies Watches).
