A man of great intelligence and curiosity, Robinson was interested in meteorology and is well known for the development of an anemometer which measured the speed of wind. He was deeply involved in the activities of the British Association for the Advancement of science and he died in 1882 after completing nearly 59 years as Director of Armagh Observatory. The stunning Robinson collection offers a choice of two models designed to appeal to watch collectors and science enthusiasts alike. The ES-8010 model is a striking automatic that features a gently curved rectangular dial. Crafted in stainless steel and available in plain, two-tone gold plating or 18k rose gold plating with a solid stainless steel bracelet for maximum comfort and a secure push button dual deployment solid butterfly buckle. Thomas Earnshaw is revered as a legend and pioneer in the field of Horology. Born in Manchester, England in 1749, he was celebrated for his work in refining, and improving upon the Marine Chronometers of the era. It was those Marine Chronometers, 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. Lauded for his work with marine chronometers, Earnshaw also embraced the challenge of developing clocks for use in Observatories such as those in Greenwich and Armagh and examples of his exquisite work can be seen in museums and auction houses around the world. It is this pioneering spirit to further the science of horology, coupled with a drive for excellence in craftsmanship that is at the heart of the Earnshaw timepiece which is available for the watch connoisseur and enthusiast alike.
