Inspired by Michigan’s mid-century modern marvels, the Canfield Model C56 echoes the striking characteristics of the General Motors Design Dome and the ingenuity of the designers behind it. Assembled in the very same Argonaut Building in Detroit as cars were, gear by gear, from 1928 to 1956, this timepiece represents the intersection of classic, streamlined style and the exploratory era of automotive craft. Bold yet refined, details like its brightly colored bezel and British Tan leather strap take you on a joy ride while embodying the automotive designer hard at work, hovering over endless iterations of sketches and models.

THE ARGONITE 715

This high-accuracy quartz movement—hand-assembled in Detroit—drives the hours, minutes, seconds and calendar aperture function with precision. It is built in Detroit with Swiss and other imported parts.

BRUSHED STAINLESS STEEL CASE

This 43mm timepiece features a modern barrel screw down crown and a detailed coin edge case. Its dome-shaped side profile draws inspiration from the General Motors design dome while the lugs connected to the case speak to the clean, streamlined style of the mid-century modern era.

CONTINENTAL BLUE

The timeless continental blue dial features sleek Arabic numerals and mountain shaped hands. Its second hand has a painted tip with a pop of signature Shinola orange. Take a closer look at the Arabic numeral applied indices to find an added touch of craft—each number was welded by hand onto the dial. 

BRITISH TAN GRIZZLY LEATHER

Smooth and sophisticated, this premium leather strap is sewn in our own Detroit leather factory and will patina beautifully over time. Fitted with quick release pins, this strap is easy to change. No tools required
