There were actually 15 members of the jury

Its a very interesting process.  All I feel free to say is that there are two rounds of voting prior to the verification and confirmation meeting on the eve of the Grand Prix gala evening.  The first round usually feature over 70 candidates in each category.  The members of the jury are invited to confer with the other members by email which is quite helpful.  After the first round of voting in July, the fields are reduced to 10 per cartegory and the info sharing among the jury members increases. Then through a special securized web site our final ballots are tabulized and certified by a professional huissier. The regulations and rules are very strict.  In our physical presence the votes are confirmed and housekeeping chores are discussed . The jury is very diverse both in geographics and roles in the world of watches. I am personally impressed by the objectivity of the process. It works to arrive at the proper results.
