THE CANFIELD MODEL C56 43MM | Cool Gray

Inspired by Michigan’s mid-century modern marvels, the Canfield Model C’ 56 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 Bourbon Harness leather strap take you on a joy ride while embodying the automotive designer hard at work, hovering over endless iterations of sketches and models.    

Thoughtfully crafted with an engravable case back, make this timepiece the perfect gift for the design and watch enthusiasts in your life.

MOVEMENT

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.

CASE

POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL CASE

This 43mm timepiece features a modern barrel screw down crown and a stunning coin edge case. Impressive from every angle, 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.

DIAL

STRIKING IN COOL GRAY

The clean, open Cool Gray dial elevates the look of this stunning timepiece. It features Super Lumi-Nova mountain shaped hands and its second hand with a painted tip, a brilliant pop of color inspired by the bold graphic and automotive design elements explored during this movement. 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.
