Competition

Participation Details

For the first time, Dubai Watch Week has partnered with Grail Watch to host a global wristwatch design competition.

The challenge? Show us your most out-of-the-box, innovative yet viable shaped watch design. All you need to do is:

Step 1: Get Creative

Come up with an original design (as long as it’s shaped!)

Step 2: Show us your savvy

Demonstrate your storytelling skills. Explain your design process; lay out your long-term vision; illustrate any business or marketing ideas you have. Go as in-depth as you’d like.

Step 3: Submit your proposal

Submit your proposal, which should include:

•  Digital drawings or renders of your design.

•  Brand inspiration and story

•  Overall business plan, including go-to-market strategies, product roadmap, commercial viability and any marketing ideas.

•  Self-recorded video of you introducing yourself, and explaining your ideas.

We’ll be looking at:

•  Creativity: How compelling is your design?

•  Technical innovation: Are you proposing any novel ideas?

•  Business viability: How realistic is your proposal?

•  Storytelling: What is your brand?
