We love automotive inspired timepieces here at The Coolector and, to be quite honest, they seldom come much classier than these stunning 42mm & 44mm M1-Le Mans Classic Chrono Watches from American brand, the Detroit Watch Company. If you’re in the market for a new timepiece with speed at its core, look no further than this wonderfully well crafted accessory.

The Detroit Watch Company 42mm & 44mm M1-Le Mans Classic Chrono Watches have a price tag of $1995 which is entirely reasonable given the superb features that are inherent throughout these race-inspired timepieces. There are a number of different design inspirations for these watches including the 1970 Porsche 917K, chassis 024 which was used as a test car for Le Mans before becoming the star car that Steve McQueen drove in the 1971 movie Le Mans with number 20 (and our personal favourite here at Coolector HQ).
