Prix Gaïa 2010

The Jury for the 2010 Gaïa Prize has nominated

Mr Jacques Muller and Mr Elmar Mock
as winners in the Craftsmanship-Creation category,
inventors of new technical solutions contained in the patents of the conception of the original Swatch watch

and Mr Jean-Claude Biver, Hublot CEO
as winner in the Entrepreneurship category,
for his career in its totality and in his capacity as visionary businessman and marketing genius.

The prizes will be awarded on the 16th September 2010 at 18.30 at the Musée international d’horlogerie Salle Hans Erni. There will be musical interludes during the ceremony and refreshments at the end.

In 1993, the Gaïa Prize was created in honour of one of the first patrons of the Musée d’horlogerie, Maurice Ditisheim, president of the Board of Directors of the Bureau de contrôle des ouvrages en métaux précieux, a distinction destined to reward prominent figures whose activities, works and studies linked to time have promoted watchmaking and its art far beyond national borders.

Since 2007, the Gaïa Prize has been favoured with the support of the Banque Julius Baer & Cie SA.
