For Dollond & Co., it is the perfect setting to showcase a selection of our traditional nautical instruments, personalised gifts and collectable pieces.

Visit Dollond & Co. at the Show

Come and meet the Dollond & Co. team and explore a curated collection of pieces inspired by navigation, exploration and traditional British craftsmanship.

Our range includes personalised compasses, sundial compasses, telescopes, sextants, desk instruments, pocket watches, nautical collectables and other distinctive gifts. Many of our pieces can be personalised with names, dates, quotations, coordinates or your own special message, creating a keepsake that is completely individual.

Dollond & Co. began on London’s Portobello Road and has grown from its roots in antiques and collectables into a collection of personalised gifts and nautical instruments, with many pieces handcrafted and customised by the Dollond & Co. team. (Dollond & Co.)

See Our Products in Person

Shopping online is convenient, but there is something special about holding a brass compass, opening a handcrafted presentation box or seeing the detail of a traditional nautical instrument in person.

At the Southampton International Boat Show, visitors will have the opportunity to discover selected Dollond & Co. products up close, compare different finishes and styles, and speak to us about personalisation options.

Whether you are looking for a gift for a sailor, a retirement present, a wedding or anniversary keepsake, a graduation gift, a nautical display piece or something personalised for yourself, we would be happy to help you find the right piece.

Personalised & Custom-Made Gifts

Personalisation is at the heart of many Dollond & Co. designs.

Depending on the product, we can create engraving featuring names, initials, dates, coordinates, personal messages, meaningful quotations, logos or other custom details.

Our nautical pieces are particularly popular for occasions where time, direction, adventure and travel have a special meaning.
