Thomas Earnshaw Longitude Chronograph All Black
The Lines of Longitude – determinants of one’s position in terms of navigation was a crucial puzzle to be solved in the early era of English naval dominance. Clockmakers, like Thomas Earnshaw, the often heralded “father of the modern chronometer” were celebrated for their genius in helping to navigate the world’s oceans. Thomas Earnshaw and his famed chronometers were rewarded and recognized by the Board of Longitude in 1805 for their work in helping to open up the seas to safe and accurate passage around the world. The LONGITUDE timepiece from Earnshaw is a fitting tribute to the ingenuity, intelligence, and grace in the design of the works from Earnshaw. A large classically formed case – opens to exhibit a complex yet precise and clear vision of timekeeping mastery. Utilizing precision Swiss Made technology – the eye subdial chronograph display merges within the elegant presentation of the Roman Hour marker numerals, with Breguet style hour and minute hands for an absolutely timeless and sophisticated Swiss timepiece.
The round finely crafted case is polished with care and drapes over the wrist of the wearer with ease. The piston-like pushers add a vintage-like silhouette while the genuine leather strap holds the watch down with comfort and luxurious ease.
