There have been several innovations to the awards presentation for 2006 including registration and judging procedures. The nominations are by invitation only and an 18-member committee of experts, senior-level industry professionals and eminent watch and pen collectors constitute the Awards committee. The nominated companies will be short-listed by the members of jury and the public is then able to vote for their preferred brands through a dedicated website. The voters have a chance to win one of 10 watches and pens valued over AED 60,000 via a monitored raffle.
