Created by the Musée International de l’Horlogerie (International Horology Museum also known as MIH) in 1993, the Gaia prize honors people who have greatly contributed to the horology industry, its history and its culture.

There are 3 different categories:

ARTISANAT ET CREATION (CRAFTSMANSHIP AND CREATION) – 2015 winner: Anita Porchet

HISTOIRE ET RECHERCHES (HISTORY AND RESEARCH) – 2015 winner : Jonathan Betts

ESPRIT D’ENTREPRISE (ENTREPRENEURSHIP) – 2015 winner : Giulio Papi

Each year, the jury selected by the Museum curator gathers Swiss and foreign personalities such as experts from the Neuchatel University, the Haute Ecole Arc, the Centre Intercommunal de Formation des Montagnes Neuchâteloises, as well as journalists, scientists, etc…

This year, the Esprit d’Entreprise prize was attributed to Giulio Papi for the major role he played in the development of wristwatch complications since 1986.

Congratulations to Giulio for his talent and passion!
