Product Description
Having been in the watch industry since 1805, the aesthetic style of Thomas Earnshaw watches draws heavily on the past. After all, the British founder for which the brand was named, played a key role in the development of timepieces centuries ago Read More
I'm sorry but I just have to say that these prices are ridiculous. Thomas Earnshaw watches are china made and have a price range of $80 - $350. The ones costing $350 are in "special offer" every couple of weeks with a 75% discount, so around $100-ish. I'd spend this kind of money on another brand.
SkipPpIt's true. But glycine also with 7750 and for extra 100$ you will get the watch from much more prestigious brand, with saphire and i guess with better build quality. So... To each his own.
lots of Earnshaw watches auction online @Catawiki. You may be able to get a better price for one. Personally, I will not buy one even though some look quite attractive. I'd put it @ same level as other micro brands from China: Invictus, Sthürling,...
Actual question for the watch experts: is there any reputable brand that makes dressy auto chronos at 40mm (or at least a lug to lug of <48mm) for $600 or less?
Thomas Earnshaw as a brand is just a Chinese company trying to use some famous horologist's name as a marketing ploy to attempt to sound like they are a well-established European brand. Many of their watches use inexpensive Chinese movements that are knock-offs of popular Swiss movements with expired patents. Generally you can find these and other brands using those movements for cheaper on the popular auction websites.
This one does use an amazing Swiss movement, though. I've always lusted after a watch with a Valjoux 7750 movement. My concern when it comes to this watch is the low water resistence (50m may sound like a lot, but you really shouldn't even take it in a pool with you... it's only really good for sweat and hand-washing). Also, this watch would never qualify as an 'investment.' Regardless of the quality of the movement, I doubt that you would be able to sell it for a good price to a collector. It would end up being worth more to sell it as a working movement to someone with a dead Valjoux 7750 chronograph.

Blair_BlackYou're welcome. There are bunches and bunches of smaller watchmakers around the world--unique watches and you get the chance to work one on one with the company. Many times, ordering a watch from a small German or Swiss company, for example, is not cheap--but you have a one of a kind time piece. I've blown my watch budget for a while, but in the future I am going to try to work with some of these companies. Enjoy!
Sorry, but a $3500+ MSRP watch with a mineral crystal?! I can't think of many "luxury" watches (which a $3500 price tag qualifies as) that don't use sapphire. Even $500 watches will often use sapphire (e.g. Steinhart, Armida, Helson, etc.). The 7750 is a solid movement, but my understanding is there are several versions/levels of quality. Not exactly sure what you're getting here.
The movement is found in more expensive watches. I have never heard of the watch maker but try to buy a watch with this movement. I would have liked it to have a sapphire crystal.
DiegousmcVery true. You can find this same movement in well known brands like Breitling for much more than the listed MSRP of this watch, and it's a great price for the movement. In fact, I believe the same movement is in the Glycine chronograph that is also in a drop, for$100 more. I like the design of this watch much better than the Glycine, but I can't convince myself to join the drop.
