Take a bow

SOME 16 prizes were handed out at the 14th Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Geneve, held last October in Geneva, Switzerland. It is the watch industry's equivalent of the Oscars - and the grand winner for 2014, the Aiguille d'Or Grand Prix (best overall watch), was Breguet's Classique Chronometrie. Independent watch brand Urwerk's EMC won two prizes: Mechanical Exception Watch and Innovation Watch.
