If you follow me on Instagram you probably already know that I’m a big fan of Detroit…
One of the great things about being a watch reviewer is the fact that watch companies will give you the opportunity to wear their watches for a while, gather your thoughts about them, and then review them. The bad part about it is that you have to be ready to part with the watches when you are done. When I opened box for the Detroit Watch Company 1701 automatic, I knew that giving this watch back was going to be tough. This is my favorite watch which I have had the opportunity to review hands-on in my tenure here at WWR.
Like that Clint Eastwood/Chrysler Commercial from the 2012 Superbowl, Detroit is not done yet. Shinola has done a good job in marketing their American Made roots with their quartz driven watches, and now the Detroit Watch Company is offering automatic watches made in the motor city, though of foreign sourced parts.
