d\u2019Horlogerie de Gen\u00e8ve (GPHG) awards returned for the 26th edition this year, showcasing the cr\u00e8me de la cr\u00e8me of luxury watchmaking at a glittering ceremony on 7 November.The top honour, known as the \u2018Aiguille d&#8217;Or\u2019 Grand Prix, was open to any watch across all categories. Last year, it was won by Breguet&#8217;s Classique Souscription 2025 &#8211; a watch which only has one hand.\u00a0This year, it was awarded to an independent Swiss-Kosovan watchmaker making waves in horology.\u201cAiguille d\u2019Or\u201d Grand Prix best-in-show awardThe most distinguished award at the GPHG, the Aiguille d\u2019Or, went to Geneva-based independent watchmaker Rexhep Rexhepi&#8217;s Chronograph Flyback.Sleek and harmonious, the proportions of this watch required &#8220;a complete rethinking of the movement\u2019s architecture&#8221;.
