Bovet's high astronomical complication bags first prize at the watch industry's Oscars
IT'S COMPLICATED. SO much so that a highly complex astronomical watch that shows the position of the earth in relation to the moon and sun took the top prize at the watch world's equivalent of the Oscars.
At the 2018 Grand Prix d'Horologerie de Geneve, independent Swiss brand Bovet's Recital 22 Grand Recital beat 71 other entries to walk away with the coveted Aiguille d' Or Grand Prix.
The elaborately decorated timepiece is one of the most complicated wristwatches ever made. Built around a tellurium, it features a perpetual calendar with retrograde disk, world time, a one-minute flying tourbillon as well as retrograde displays for the power reserve and the minutes.
