Breguet wins the “Aiguille d’Or” Grand Prix
Collections Corporate ,
At the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), Breguet was awarded the “Aiguille d’Or” Grand Prix for its Classique Souscription 2025 timepiece. This prize rewards the best overall timepiece among all categories (Best in Show), also deemed the most representative of the watch industry as a whole. It is the most prestigious award.
The Classique Souscription 2025, the first piece unveiled to celebrate Breguet’s 250th anniversary, pays tribute to the visionary spirit of Abraham-Louis Breguet. Inspired by the Souscription watch designed in the late 18th century, it embodies a renewal infused with apparent simplicity.
This single-hand model faithfully translates a historic pocket watch into a wristwatch format. Its movement architecture draws inspiration from Souscription calibers and the tact watch, while its aesthetics remain true to the original codes — a satin-brushed case middle, chevé glass, grand feu enamel dial, secret signature and blued hand done by hand. The caseback is adorned with the exclusive Quai de l’Horloge guilloché pattern and an engraving featuring the founder’s own words on the conception of the movement.
“Receiving the “Aiguille d’Or” Grand Prix at the GPHG is a tremendous honor for Breguet, which this year celebrates 250 years of uninterrupted watchmaking excellence. This award not only celebrates our Classique Souscription 2025, but above all the work, passion, and dedication of all our colleagues who bring the Maison to life every day. Their commitment, expertise, and high standards are the true beating heart of Breguet. To each and every one of them, I express my deepest gratitude. This distinction belongs to them as much as it does to the brand.”
