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.

ive wanted a swatch moonwatch but gave up trying to find the one i liked best. then this lemans one caught my eye in an ad.
i just spoke to patrick who actually designed the watch. he explained all the options and i am planning to order one for my birthday. glad i never did get that swatch.
Saw and add for the Lemans watch in a magazine caught my interest so I called and Patrick answered .And started to ask all question I could think of about the watch. Answered all them and I ordered one .When I received the watch ,it was more than I expected . The watch was absolutely stunning ,Incredible piece with quality construction. After two weeks keeps perfect time. This watch should cost three times as much. Patrick ,Thank you so much
A simply stunning timepiece and the best racing inspired chronograph presently on the market without exception. Every facet of the Le Mans Classic has the attention to design detail, impeccable execution, precision quality craftsmanship and accuracy only found on luxury high end timepieces costing many times more. The incredible quality is instantly felt the moment you handle and wear the watch and is running at an accuracy equal to COSC certified chronometer accuracy. You can’t fully appreciate the attractive and distinctive eye-catching dial of the Le Mans from pictures as it is not possible to capture how the incredible blue dial plays with light and radiates a range of changing silvery powder blue hues when viewed from different angles.
This was the first timepiece I have ever bought unseen and without first trying on. It has been a most interesting and at times exhilarating purchase experience only possible through the opportunity of direct dialogue with Patrick over a couple of weeks that gave me the reassurance and confidence to order this wonderful timepiece. This type of direct watchmaker - customer engagement is something which you just don’t get from most luxury watch brands, and makes the whole experience of buying a luxury timepiece that much more rewarding and special.
No question Patrick is a master watchmaker driven by a meticulous dedication to quality, design perfection and customer service.
