Watchmaking's biggest night proves that sometimes less really is more, as a single-hand watch takes center stage in Geneva. In a surprising departure from recent years' trend toward hyper-complication, the jury of the 25th Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève handed its most prestigious honor—the coveted Aiguille d'Or—to arguably the simplest watch in the room. The Breguet Classique Souscription 2025, a watch displaying time with just one hand, captured the grand prize at the ceremony held today, November 13th, at Geneva's Bâtiment des Forces Motrices.

Perhaps these are the first steps for the brand to return to its remarkable origins and history. The new Audemars Piguet Royal Oak "Jumbo" Extra-Thin Selfwinding Flying Tourbillon Chronograph RD#5 ref. 26545XT.OO.1240XT.01 represents precisely such a moment.
