COMPANY BAMFORD WATCH DEPARTMENT


FOUNDER COUNTRY UNITED KINGDOM


Bamford Watch Department is the first company to offer full personalisation of the world’s most desirable watches—without voiding the manufacturer’s warranty. Bamford, 37, started working as an exclusive authorised partner of LVMH on Zenith and Bulgari in 2017 then TAG Heuer later that year. The grandson of JCB founder Joseph Cyril Bamford and son of tycoon Lord Anthony Bamford began by using some of the technical experience gained at JCB to customise two vintage watches, giving one to his father. The company’s success quickly built on word of mouth and appeal to those who seek exclusivity.

COMPANY SO-LE STUDIO COUNTRY UK/ ITALY


CO-FOUNDER AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR


The 27-year-old granddaughter of Salvatore Ferragamo has drawn from her family’s passion and creativity with leather and taken her business in a new direction; designing and crafting environmentally conscious leather jewellery under her own brand SO-LE Studio. Designed in London and made in Florence, her pieces are made from off-cut from the luxury industry, meaning they reduce waste and are limited edition by their nature. The company was nominated for the CEDIT Prize awarded to an emerging Italian designer at Miart. In addition it was awarded Positive Luxury’s Butterfly Mark for its commitment to sustainability.
