From today, the most powerful man in the world is Donald Trump. He has pledged to make America great again. He repeated this promise live on TV only yesterday. Of course, when it comes to his choice of Presidential watch, it must be American designed and made. Ever keen to assist watch lovers from all walks of life in their choice of time wear, here we make some recommendations for the new incumbent of the White House.
Detroit Watch Company M1-Woodward sunburst gray Swiss Automatic


Where better to start than in one of the great US cities that Mr. Trump is determined to return to its glory days. Detroit. The new president has pledged there will be millions poured into new infrastructure throughout the USA.

Although Detroit is famous as the motor city, not many people know that 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. The Detroit Watch Company celebrates Detroit’s M1-Woodward Avenue history with the introduction of the M1- Woodward Chronograph series of exclusive automatic timepieces. This 44mm watch comes with a Swiss automatic movement with a 30 minute subdial, an hour sub dial and a small subdial counter to keep the President right on time during his first 100 days. $1,850.00

RGM Watches Baseball in Enamel


As an Ardent New York Yankees fan, President Trump will no doubt admire this watch from Pennsylvania watchmaker R. G. Murphy, dedicated as it is to America’s favorite sport, and incorporating influences from some of America’s illustrious watchmaking past. Behind the dial is an American made 801 movement.  The bridges are reminiscent of the Keystone Howard Watch Company’s “Edward Howard” model, their flagship watch and one of the high-grade watches of its time.  The winding click is inspired by the Illinois Watch Company’s “Illini” model and the deep polished winding wheels are finished like those of the Illinois “Bunn Special.”  Like the great Railroad watches from America’s past, the 801 has a high-grade finish that denotes the quality of its construction. In Donald’s favorite metal, gold, the watch is $26,700.00
