REDEFINING THE NEW CLASSIC
Named after the legendary watchmaker whose timepieces helped guide Charles Darwin's voyage around the world, a spirit of adventure and exploration lies at the heart of the Thomas Earnshaw ethos. Each collection of watches is named after an iconic explorer, location or vessel that perfectly embodies the values of Thomas Earnshaw: courage to go beyond the expected.
THE THOMAS EARNSHAW ETHOS
Our vision is simple: to make great watches at exceptionally fair prices. Inspired by the 'Father of the Modern Chronometer' and a love for vintage watchmaking techniques, in 2012 Thomas Earnshaw set out to fill a unique gap in the market. With a nostalgia for the golden age of elegance and watchmaking, we aimed to go beyond the expected and redefine the new classic - and our watches have done just this.
OUR LEGACY
Thomas Earnshaw watches are designed to be different. Drawing inspiration from the past, with a unique, vintage-inspired aesthetic unlike any other brand, each timepiece showcases fine craftsmanship and fantastic watchmaking techniques, at a fair price. Known for our intricate, skeletonised movements and exhibition case backs, we're constantly testing new materials, colour combinations and techniques to reimagine the classic watch for today.

Sir Francis Beaufort 1774 –1857 was an Irish hydrographer and officer in Britain's Royal Navy. Beaufort was the creator of the Beaufort Scale for indicating wind force.
Noted as a seminal figure in the confluence of the Royal Navy, meteorologist and astrologists, scientists Beaufort was a founding member of the Royal Geographic Society and member of the Royal Society and helmed the Arctic Council. He was also the head administrator and did much to further the fields of astronomy and navigation from the famed observatories in Greenwich England and the Cape of Good Hope, Africa.
Beaufort trained Robert FitzRoy, who was put in command of the survey ship HMS Beagle. When he requested of Beaufort "that a well-educated and scientific gentleman be sought" as a companion on second voyage of the Beagle.
Beaufort's enquiries led to an invitation to Charles Darwin, who later drew on his discoveries in formulating the theory of evolution he presented in his book The Origin of Species.
