By awarding the Prix Gaïa in this category, the jury wished to honour a visionary, a man who contributed directly to the implementation of a revolutionary project that would turn around the Swiss watchmaking industry.

In awarding this prize, the Prix Gaïa jury wished to recognise the universal nature of the winner's writings and their importance in broadcasting a knowledge and culture of time measurement, the history of techniques and the watchmaking industry.

The HYT H1 was launched in 2012 amidst a somewhat morose watchmaking climate and undoubtedly created THE biggest buzz at BaselWorld, possibly even that of the year.
