The 19th edition of the Middle East Watch & Jewellery of the Year Awards took place on 22nd November at the opulent Green Room at Soho Garden Palm Jumeirah, Dubai. The prestigious annual gala once again paid tribute to the world’s most coveted timepieces and jewellery. 

The landmark event was brought to life by the publishers of Arabian Watches & Jewellery Magazine, with support from Al Fardan Jewellery, Majid Al Futtaim, Lucid Motors, and the organisers of the Saudi International Luxury Week exhibition. 

Under the theme “Heritage and Innovation for a Sustainable Future” this year, the Middle East Watch & Jewellery of the Year Awards aimed to underscore the importance of sustainability in watch and jewellery culture, and highlighted the region’s emerging status as a global industry hub. With sustainability at the forefront, the ceremony recognised and honoured 23 leading watch and jewellery brands for their remarkable creations. Mouawad is one of the brands that was awarded with “Best Red Carpet Jewellery Set” for the extraordinary Regina Diamond and Emerald Suite.

The Swiss Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates and the Kingdom of Bahrain, H.E. Arthur Mattli, was in attendance, alongside numerous watch collectors and jewellery enthusiasts. 

Nominated brands were judged by a distinguished panel of experts including collectors and watch experts from Switzerland, the USA, and across the Gulf.
