The folks at Thomas Earnshaw have been nice enough to supply us with a few watches for reviews over the years, and for the WWR March Giveaway, I am going to pass on one of my review watches to you, our dear readers. I looked at the Thomas Earnshaw 1805 Grand Calendar almost a year ago, and thought it was a nice dress watch for the price. The watch has a lot going on, but it is still readable.
It is on the large side, at 45mm, but it is still very wearable, with a lot of rounded surfaces and a pretty domed crystal. You are going to get the watch that was literally on my wrist, and then stored away since the review, as gently used as they come.
What we ask, dear reader, is that you comment below IN THIS THREAD. You don’t have to do anything other than say hi, but if you want to share what it is that makes a nice dress watch for you, that would be great. IN ADDITION, you have to head over to the contest page and enter there as well. If you don’t enter in both places, your entry will be void and should we draw your name, you will never know and we’ll just move on to a new winner. Wouldn’t that be terrible, being a winner and never knowing about it?
You don’t have to, but you can also check out the Thomas Earnshaw web site, Facebook page, and Instagram page. This is the second watch of theirs that I have given to you, our dear readers, so show the brand a little love in return.
Hi! Thanks for running the giveaway.
I like that is comes off as a very nicely styled dress watch but I also see a face that looks like a post-apocalyptic/steampunky gasmask!
Great contest. I really like the retrograde subdials on the watch.
Beautiful watch, dressy enough for a suit, yet still sporty element.
Nice watch, but to me it is more of a casual but versatile watch then it is a dress watch. BTW, the giveaway page tells me the contest ended in 1970!
This has been corrected.
Watch looks great, and I’d love to win it, but it’s not super formal.
What a beautiful watch!
Busy, but I think it’s a nice look overall.
That’s a beauty
I know it isn’t traditional, but to me a nice dress watch is striking to the eye and has a few interesting complications. I like knowing that people wonder what exactly is going on on my wrist!
A nice dress watch should compliment what you are wearing not stick out like a sore thumb.
Not sure if I’d consider it a dress watch, but it is a pretty watch!
classy, with a side of AWESOMENESS
Simple clean classic lines.
A dress watch should be elegant without being ostentatious or fussy.
I like this watch alot. Simple case shape and band dresses it up while it has enough interesting features to make it more of an office type watch.
this is just my sons style as he likes them larger and elegant without being to “busy”. It has a nice band and a simple shape. It could be worn with a suit or jeans
I like the hour indicators.
Nice subdials.
hi.
cool.
I like a simple classic design for a dress watch. Black strap and dial.
Looks really nice. Perhaps little bit to big, but I’d love to have it
hello!
Looks good.
Stylish watch
Stylish and elegant, yet great for everyday wear, thank you!
Well that’s a nice giveaway prize!
Dress watches should, in my opinion, strive for simplicity, and limited complications. They enhance the overall appearance, but shouldn’t be so flashy or over complicated as to become the main focus.
Wow!
Great watch, thanks for the chance to win!
amazing watch, just great
That looks like a great watch, and I would love to have a cool calendar watch.
Fine elegance and very functional.
A dress watch should be a combination of subtle style and sophistication, like a nice suit.
Great-looking watch, elegant.
Well, I don’t have a dress watch! It’s all divers, outdoors g-shocky types, and sporty chronographs.
It’s a beautiful watch and would love to add it to my collection!
What a beautiful watch!
Awesome watch
A dress watch is one that adds a special touch to any tuxedo.
What a gorgeous watch!
I like it. It woud be perfect on my wrist!
Nice looking watch, thanks for contest.
A classic dress watch in black. Something you always need whenever you wear a suit….I do that a lot, so I can imagine myself wearing it 🙂
I’ve entered, hope i win
Dress Watch for Me:
1) Sophisticated style (not sport, not garrish)
2) Unique design (subtly eye-catching but definitely a conversation piece)
3) Leaves you with a feeling of style and refined personal taste
This one fits the bill. Thanks for the contest!
Very nice watch!
I know most people feel like a dress watch has to be extremely simple and minimal. But I feel like a beautiful watch like this would look great with a suit. I would even wear it with a tux but I know I am no fashion icon. Thanks for the giveaway!
I love this watch! It looks like it matches with almost anything. I’d love to win it, I’d definitely wear it every day!
This is an amazing watch.
Nice looking watch!
Beautiful watch, would be a great addition to the collection
My husband would go crazy for this watch.
Hi guys!! Very generous 🙂
Nice looking watch even from my small frame
I like the look of the Thomas Earnshaw, even though, as you note, at 45mm it is a little on the large side. Would be a pleasure to wear I am sure.
Very nice looking time piece.
Oooh, I want one!
hi hi,
just want to say that this watch is simply a piece of art, a masterpiece.

I want this watch. 🙂

What makes a great dress watch for me is the simple elegance. Something clean, but not to flashy, that goes well with a nice suite or just business casual.
