The Oscars of the watch world did not disappoint... with GPHG honouring one of horology’s brightest rising stars, Rexhep Rexhepi, and his truly exquisite Chronograph Flyback.Elsewhere, Audemars Piguet had a particularly strong evening, taking home the Iconic Watch Prize for its Royal Oak RD#5 and the Calendar and Astronomy Watch Prize for its 150 Heritage. Ferdinand Berthoud also doubled up, claiming both the Chronometry and Tourbillon prizes, while a personal highlight was Parmigiani Fleurier taking home the Chronograph Watch Prize for its Tonda PF Chronographe Mystérieux (which also happens to be my favourite watch of 2026). A rather satisfying bit of validation from the GPHG jury.
