Chaired by Wei Koh, the 2026 Jury will meet behind closed doors in Geneva a few days before the awards ceremony to evaluate the 84 timepieces nominated by the Academy physically. The latter also helps select the prize-winners through a digital vote, which accounts for one-third of the final result.
