If you’re a subscriber to the Oracle Time Newsletter then you’ll be fully aware that the Oracle Time Watch Awards 2024 are live right now and if you’re not member (first of all why not?), I’m here to tell you that it’s true! This is our third annual watch awards and we just wanted to take a moment to let you know what’s been happening and how you can get involved. We are also able to at last announce the details of the associated prize draw.
What are the Oracle Time Watch Awards?
Let’s not beat around the bush, there are a lot of awards that get handed out to watch brands these days. From GPHG to Red Dot to other publications similar to Oracle Time holding their own award events. What makes ours different is that we don’t keep any of process hidden behind the cloak and dagger of expert panels or selection committees. We refer to our awards as the Community Watch Awards because that’s precisely what they are, every watch you see in the awards is nominated and voted for by you, the Oracle Time readers and community. This is a true reflection of the watches you’ve loved over the past 12 months.
How are the awards structured?
Last month we held the Nominations stage of the watch awards. We asked you, our community, to think of the best watches from the past 12 months across nine separate categories. After the nominations closed, we counted them all up (there were a lot of them) and put the eight watches with the highest number of nominations into a short list.
That short list is now live and it’s up to you to go and vote for your favourite watch in each of the nine categories. On top of that, we’ve added a 10th category called Readers’ Choice. This is a completely open selection where you can vote for any watch released in the past 12 months – including a watch you already voted for in one of the previous categories if you like – to win the prestigious title of Best Watch of 2024. Additionally, the Readers’ Choice winner will be featured on the cover of our December print magazine, which is also where you’ll be able to read the result for the first time.
