 With the exception of a special audience prize, only a selected jury of watch professionals are allowed to vote, and price is one consideration. GPHG has become one of the most important prizes in the world of watches, awarded annually at a banquet in November. One can compare it with the Academy Awards ("Oscars") of the U.S. film industry. An Asian Edition was also held. The winner of the //Aiguille d'Or// (Golden Pointer) automatically gets a seat in the jury in the following year.
-The number of prizes awarded has expanded dramatically since [[2013]]. The original ceremony, held in [[2001]], gave just 7 trophies. Until [[2012]], the number was roughly steady between 9 and 11 awards. From [[2019]] through [[2021]], 19 trophies have been awarded each year, and 21 trophies were awarded in [[2022]]. This was reduced to 19 trophies in [[2023]], with the Diver's Watch Prize eliminated and no Men's Watch or Mechanical Exception Watch Prize awarded.
