The Royal Academy of Arts is an important institution dedicated to the promotion of the creation of art. The Academy’s exhibitions of art have achieved worldwide renown and praise. Originally housed in the Somerset House in London, the Academy’s building is well known for its Neoclassical architectural and its proximity to the Thames River – at one point, the River ran directly past a wing of the building. Today, Earnshaw watchmakers honor the history and achievements of a fine institution with the Academy collection of timepieces

The highlight of the Earnshaw Academy is the exposed dial face. Encircled by an understated but stylish index is a see through portion of the dial face allowing a glance into the workings of the timepiece’s automatic movement. Complimenting this intricate dial face is a sturdy stainless steel case and bezel and a supple genuine leather strap. With its combination of exceptional performance and appearance, the Earnshaw Academy is perfect for any occasion.

Born in Manchester, England in 1749, Thomas Earnshaw was celebrated for his work in refining, and improving upon the marine chronometers of the era. It was these marine chronometers that became crucial to the journeys taken by the boats in the Royal Navy as they circled the globe during a golden era in English history of science and exploration. This emboldened spirit of discovery inspires these timepieces in both design and construction.
