BOVET wins the Men's Complication Prize at the 2025 GPHG

The entire watchmaking world came together on November 13, 2025 at the Grand Prix d’Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG), the Oscars of watchmaking, to award the BOVET Récital 30 with the Men’s Complication Prize.

The Grand Prix awards are voted on by more than 1,000 knowledgeable watch industry experts, journalists, collectors, and watch retailers from around the world, with the final jury of 30 picking from the 90 nominated timepieces, chosen from thousands of submissions.

 

Over the centuries, watchmaking has shattered boundaries and solved problems heretofore never addressed. One of these problems is Daylight Saving Time. No mechanical world timer was able to adjust to the vagaries of the time change, springing forward and falling back – when 70 countries went to Daylight Saving Time, 120 countries were wrong on all world timers.

 

Until the Récital 28 and now the Récital 30.

The Récital 30 is the ultimate world timer, focusing solely on the ground-breaking world time system on rollers from the Récital 28 Prowess 1, which won the GPHG Mechanical Exception Award for 2024. The timepiece can be adjusted to any of the four time periods of the year:

  • UTC – Coordinated Universal Time
  • AST – American Summer Time
  • EAS – European and American Summer Time
  • EWT – European Winter Time
  • This, in turn, means that all 24 world time zones, and New Delhi (which has a 30-minute offset), will be accurate all year round.
  • The Récital 30 emphasizes the essentials needed for keeping track of world time. The world time rollers cover nearly the entire dial, making it the clear focus of this timepiece. In the center is a day/night indicator linked to local time. As a result, the Récital 30 is the perfect companion for world travelers.

My thanks go to the GPHG, the Jury, and the Academy for this honor, but first and foremost my heartfelt appreciation and respect to my extraordinary team at BOVET, artisans all, without whom none of our achievements would be possible.
