Wei Koh on Becoming President of the GPHG Jury | The Future of Watchmaking Awards

Revolution founder Wei Koh joins Joy Tully, Editor-in-Chief of Revolution Asia, for a conversation on his role as President of the Jury for the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève and his vision for his three-year term.

From opening up the GPHG categories to the wider watch industry, to reaching a broader and younger audience through a more accessible, knowledge-driven approach, Wei speaks about what it means for the GPHG to be held in English for the first time, and how that could help bring watchmaking’s most important awards to a more global audience.

He shares his thoughts on the jury selection process, the importance of deep horological knowledge, and why this year’s jury might just represent the “revenge of the nerds.”

The conversation also touches on the upcoming launch of Légaré, with Wei noting that the brand will not participate in the GPHG while he serves as President of the Jury.
