The Guardian Building in Detroit has been an icon in the city since it was erected in 1929. It was the tallest brick building in the world at the time, and has aged gracefully over the years, embracing its bold art deco architecture. The historic building at 500 Griswold Street has inspired another Detroit native, as Shinola introduces the limited edition Shinola Guardian Watch.
While offering an ever expanding portfolio of products, the Detroit brand has gone back to its roots to watchmaking with the Guardian. Available in 41.5mm or 36mm, it’s a simple and versatile design that can easily be dressed up or down, and features a new rounded square shape available in a variety of colors and band materials. Relatively thin and light, it’s modern vintage design should be comfortable to wear, and its versatile design will be your perfect companion this holiday season at the many social gatherings you’ll find yourself in.
