If you’re looking for a full-sized everyday watch then you have to take a look at The Runwell Sport 48mm Watch ($675) by Shinola. If you don’t know, Shinola is based near my old stopping grounds in Detroit and they rage against the notion that manufacturing is dead in the U.S.
The Runwell Sport 48mm is hand assembled in Detroit and features a double curve sapphire crystal, Super-LumiNova hands, numbers, and hour markers, a Detroit-built Argonite 715 high-accuracy quartz movement made from 43 Swiss-made components, a stainless steel case with screw down crown, and a day indicator. The Sport comes with a rubber strap made by Stern Manufacturing out of Staples, MN.
Buying Shinola is always a great way to support manufacturing in the U.S.
