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.

I am a lifelong watch collector from Rolex and A-P to Hublot and Panerai. I have been very desirous of purchasing an American made watch ( I cannot count my NIB 1962 Bulova Accutron. ). RGM makes an impressive watch. Shinola is not for me. I have been watching the products from DWC for awhile and I like each and every watch. I decided on this #98 Shelby tribute because it just spoke louder to me than all the others because it is so different from my everyday SeaDweller.
This watch is beautifully made, solid, exudes a strong presence, and is frankly an unbelievable value. The case is finished as nicely as any higher quality Swiss watch and the bracelet looks great and adjusts with real screws, not spring bars. The links have a seaamless quality that fits really well.I am beyond ahppy and right now it is getting wrist time while the much more expensive ones sit in a safe.My brother liked mine so much he just took delivery of an Aviator in DLC and it is truly gorgeous with an emerald green face. These folks deserve tremendous success as their product is truly excellent.
Fantastic style and impeccable quality
I discovered this fine watch brand in my Hagerty monthly classic car insurance magazine featuring Patrick and his
Le Mans watch. He and his wife Amy are truly gifted.
Their story with BMW and beyond is fascinating and their watches are too.
As I write this I am awaiting my 4th watch from this special small company. Their customer service is largely the reason I keep returning.
Try DWC, you will love them.
