Horizon Gaïa
Gaïa Prize
To celebrate the Prix Gaïa's quarter-century, the MIH is leading it into a new dimension. Alongside the three categories used to honour leading figures in the watchmaking world, Horizon Gaïa, an incentive grant will be on offer each year to encourage new talent in the fields recognised by the Prix Gaïa:
- Craftsmanship / Creation
- History / Research
- Entrepreneurship
The aim of the grant is to fund an individual project to be completed within a year. The submission deadline for applicants will be the same as that for dossiers entered in the Prix competition, 21st March each year.
