The temporis awards 2026 jury
Each year, the TEMPORIS International Awards brings together an international jury of respected voices from across the world of watchmaking: journalists, collectors, executives, retailers, entrepreneurs and industry experts whose experience helps define excellence in contemporary horology.
For 2026, the jury welcomes four distinguished new members: Rob Corder, founder of WatchPro and one of the industry’s leading journalists; Michel Loris-Melikoff, a respected Swiss watch industry executive; Andrew Morgan, globally known as The Talking Hands and one of watchmaking’s most influential digital creators; and Pietro Tomajer, co-founder of The Limited Edition and a passionate advocate for independent watchmaking.
Together, they further strengthen one of the most diverse and internationally representative juries in contemporary watchmaking, bringing additional expertise, perspective and passion to the TEMPORIS mission of celebrating excellence in horology.
More than a jury, TEMPORIS is a global community united by a shared passion for craftsmanship, innovation and the future of horology.
