Detroit - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

A watch brand deeply rooted in Detroit History. As a child, I always looked at old church clocks from the car windows to know which village we were passing. Detroit got its clock tower in 1871, and this watch takes inspiration from it. The dial has a beautiful 3d feel; the Roman numerals give it its classic style, whereas the hands give it a modern taste. It was a limited edition of 50 pieces; I got lucky to get one of the last ones. Worth notice is the fantastic strap. It reminds me of luxury leather in the car. It makes sense that the company's owner was a car designer before switching to watchmaking. Nothing is perfect; This watch is a little too thick for my taste. By 39mm x 11mm high, it is a little too prominent on the wrist due to the Sellita SW200 movement. But in the end, this is an Old Clock Honnest Watch, not an Ultra Thin dress watch :) In conclusion, I really like this watch! It feels personal, authentic, "home-made". You feel the personal love and care the designer put into this watch.
