M1-Woodward Avenue is a highway notably referred to as Detroit's Main Street and follows the route of the old Saginaw Trail that linked Detroit with Pontiac, and at the time, Flint and Saginaw. 

Woodward Avenue was created after a devastating fire in 1805 and is one of five principal avenues in Detroit devised by Augustus B. Woodward as part of a street plan intended to make Detroit the Paris of the West, by emulating it’s wide avenues.

Woodward Avenue was the location of the first mile of concrete roadway in the entire country and in 1970, bore the M1 designation. Woodward Avenue is synonymous with cruising. As early as 1848, carriage drivers would race up and down Woodward Avenue after the roadway was converted from logs to planks.

By 1958, Woodward Avenue was the place to be for unofficial car racing and today continues to celebrate Detroit’s automotive history with a Dream Cruise, taking place during August of each year.

Great watch great value.

Just bought my second DWC piece and I love it. Quality is excellent and to have a nice piece with an automatic Swiss movement at this price is amazing. I have a 42 mm Aviator and a 42 mm M-1 Woodward Chronograph alongside a few Rolex, Panerai, and Omegas in my watch box and they look right at home. The exhibition case is a great feature. The watches wear well on my wrist and are very comfortable. Would definitely recommend DWC!

Simply seminal

I simply cannot say enough about this watch. It is absolutely gorgeous, it is clean, timekeeping is exquisite, and while I sort of lust for the Roman numeral options that I see here, I’m not sure I can do better than what I have now. I own several watches, and I certainly love my Oyster Perpetual Sub… But I get more compliments for this one, particularly with this beautiful blue strap, versus any other watch I own and wear. Bravo!

M1-Woodward Chronograph Day Date

Finding a beautiful blue Day Date Chronograph automatic with arabic numerals proved to be challenging without spending $7-10k +. Enter the M1-Woodward at under $2500 with a reliable swiss movement and it's got to be one of the best value's out there. The design, materials, readability (day and night) are all excellent. DWC has struck gold with this design. Not to mention the service is spectacular. Buy these watches with confidence. I will be back. Thank you Patrick!

DWCs bookend my watch collection

In 2013, I heard about a new American watch company in Detroit. I looked it up and on the search, another Detroit based watch company popped up. I checked out that other site and was hooked by the beautiful and classy watch they were bringing out. I contacted the company and purchased the DWC 1701 Launch Model, #50 of 50. That was the first fancy watch I ever bought. I am retiring after 20+ years on active duty and I wanted to commemorate my service with a final fancy watch. What better way than with another gorgeous DWC. I love the graphite face, white sub-dials, and blue hands. That is a great combination and it is a classy watch to wear. Thanks, Patrick, for building a great product. I will always recommend DWC to my friends and family looking to buy a great timepiece.

Stunning ONCE AGAIN !

My second purchase and once again total Perfection! Again, as I said about my 39mm 1701, it is so much nicer than so many watches costing quite a bit more from Europe and Asia. Incredible work. Absolutely love it !
