Prix Gaïa

Prix Gaïa is an honorary award in watchmaking.

Since 1993, the Musée international d'horlogerie in La Chaux-de-Fonds presents this award for special achievements in watchmaking.[1] The press often describes it as the "Nobel of watchmaking". It is awarded in three categories: "Artisanat création" (arts and creations), "Esprit d'entreprise" (entrepreneurship) und "Histoire" (History and research).
