Dinney Clarkson was created in 2019 to change the way luxury watches are sold. We were dedicated to making them special but not too expensive, here is what we've discovered:

Problem – Skyrocketing inflation rates across the world made it really hard to find affordable luxury accessories. Many come with hefty price tags, making them out of reach for many.

Solution – Craft a designer watch collection that perfectly blends luxury and affordability. Unlike other affordable luxury brands, we refused to sacrifice quality to save costs.

So HOW do we do it?

Simply put, we can sell a Swiss movement watch in the future for £169 because that's its real value. Unlike traditional methods used by other luxury watch brands involving intermediaries, brokers, and retailers, causing up to a 1000% hike, we offer an honest reflection of the true cost of a luxury timepiece. 

I already know that, how is Dinney Clarkson actually different?

Dinney Clarkson wants to stand out from other "luxury" brands that say they're affordable. Some of these brands use lower-quality materials like cheap metal, soda-lime glass, scrap-bonded leather and low-grade quartz. We use premium materials like 316 surgical-grade stainless steel, sapphire crystal glass, Italian genuine leather, and beating in the heart of every Dinney Clarkson watch — the Swiss Ronda movement. That's what sets us apart.

Also, we bypass old-fashioned retail routes, avoiding the extra costs like rent, staff, logistics, agency and brokerage fees. Instead, we sell directly to you so the savings can be passed onto you.

This lets us concentrate on making affordable, high-quality watches. Even though we use the same suppliers as luxury brands, we can offer our watches at a fraction of their prices.

The Dinney Clarkson™ First Edition Classic Watch

A watch from The Classic Series is a unique accessory that never goes out of style. It has a simple, elegant and sophisticated design. The colours are carefully chosen to complement every outfit, elevating your style effortlessly. The watch's case is minimalist and ultra-thin, which makes it lightweight and comfortable to wear when you're on the move.

The First Edition Classic series complements both everyday outfits and more formal looks. It runs on a Swiss Ronda quartz movement, and the clean dial features our signature arrow-shaped second hand. The watch is made from plated 316 stainless steel and crafted with a comfortable Italian leather strap with classy beige lining and neat tapered stitching. Or, you can choose a unique Milanese stainless steel mesh strap for a modern modern and sleek look. You'll also find the Dinney Clarkson™ signature lettering on the dial, watch crown, and stainless steel strap closure.

Movement

PRECISION IN ITS HEART

The Swiss Ronda Calibre 🇨🇭

Every Dinney Clarkson™ watch runs on the famous Swiss Ronda movement. This Powertech 763 movement has special nickel-plated jewels, which shows the level of detail and thinness it has. Switzerland is famous for its watchmaking, and Swiss watchmakers are known for making the best movements in the world for the past 170 years.

With perfect Swiss accuracy at its heart, our timepieces are not just accessories — they are a seamless blend of art and engineering that changes the world of luxury watchmaking.

Materials

Apart from all their special and features, each watch in our First Edition series is a true work of art, inspired by the long-standing craft of Swiss watchmaking. In our modern Dinney Clarkson™ timepieces, you will find the same durable materials used by classic luxury brands, beautifully bringing together the finest of the present and past.

Surgical-grade

316 Stainless Steel

The dials, straps and clasps of Dinney Clarkson™ watches are made from 316 surgical-grade stainless steel. This metal is incredibly strong, resistant to rust and safe for sensitive skin. It ensures that your watch will last a long time, just like our timeless designs, keeping its brilliance for years.

PRISTINE CLARITY

Sapphire Crystal Glass

The sapphire crystal cover protects the dials of Dinney Clarkson™ watches, known for its exceptional clear view and scratch resistance. It has a hardness second only to diamond, so it'll stay perfectly clear, giving your Swiss-powered timeteller the protection it deserves.

        Our Core Values

        Craftsmanship and Quality

        Every Dinney Clarkson watch is a testament to the careful craftsmanship and engineering that goes into building an exceptional timepiece. We take pride in using only the finest materials and employing expert techniques to make watches that stand the test of time.

        Affordability

        We believe that luxury shouldn't come with a sky-high price. We are committed to offer high-quality, beautifully crafted luxury watches that are accessible to everyone, without breaking the bank.

        Sustainability

        Our brand is founded on the principles of affordable luxury and sustainability. In addition to offering fair prices, we pledge to offset any remaining emissions from our operations, verified to the highest standards via the three largest Carbon Certifications in the world - the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS), Gold Standard Voluntary Emission Reductions (VER), and the United Nations Certified Emission Reductions (CER) programmes. This ensures that our dedication to the environment matches our dedication to quality.

        We are in the process of switching our leather straps collection to the higher-end luxury vegan leather, starting from the Emerald Green Leather strap. This innovative material is made from leftover pomace and peel from the juice and compote industry. It provides the same true feel of genuine leather without harming animals or the environment, making it the most innovative animal substitute in the industry. Help us reach £17,500 and unlock the vegan Emerald Green leather strap to accelerate our progress.
