DETROIT WATCH COMPANY
1701 Ponchartrain GMT
Subtle details and consistent design cues have earned Detroit
Watch Company a place among our favorite American based
timepieces. From the beveled and luminous hands to the stark
monochromatic dial, each element of a Detroit watch has to pass
the approval of the owner and designer Patrick Ayoub. Joining
the hour and minute hand centered on the canon pinion are a
blued steel seconds hand and a GMT hand accented with a fleur
de lis. Under the dial beats a Swiss ETA 2893-2 dual time GMT
movement that can be viewed through an optional see-through
case back.
In what may be the perfect proportions, the steel case is
42mm x 9.4 mm and rated to 5atm. Prices range from $1350-
$1450 depending on case back choice (see through or non) and
the strap options.
