HIGHLY COMMENDED
With Andrew Jennings in sole control of the watch company he created with Joakim Larsson since 2014, we can safely call it a business making entirely British-designed timepieces.
The firm is celebrating its fifth anniversary this year, and has been pushing successfully into wholesale distribution to a growing retail channel.
There are anniversary editions of its Norse and Saxon lines, but its most successful Jura watches deserve special mention this year, and we particularly like some of the striking colour combinations introduced since the summer including this 38mm Lugano Jura red enamel dial with silver markers model.
The £240 Swiss-made watch comes on an Italian red leather strap befitting of a timepiece that wants to be considered a cut above more mass market Scandi-style timepieces.
