Spinnaker

Spinnaker is a British nautical watch brand launched in 2013 under London-based Dartmouth Brands. Aimed at diving and yachting enthusiasts, it offers vintage-inspired divers and sail-race chronographs at accessible prices, with manufacturing typically handled in Asia (notably Solar Time in Hong Kong) to Swiss and Japanese movements depending on the line.

A stronger market push around 2016 paired the brand with yacht-racing and free-diving ambassadors. Spinnaker sits in the microbrand/value-dive segment rather than heritage Swiss manufacture, emphasising water-sport storytelling and bold case designs.
