World Press Photo Award – for which we have signed a
three-year partnership deal.
The Awards Ceremony this year takes place in Amsterdam
on 7th May. Besides the presentation of watches to the first prize
winners of each category, the partnership deal also includes
the annual “Follow Your Convictions” grant, worth €20,000,
