Shinola’s C56 takes design cues from the General Motors Design Dome, an icon of midcentury modern design created by architect Eero Saarinen. The clean, simple lines of the building’s steel-clad dome are echoed in the C56’s gleaming stainless steel case and wide open cream dial, while contrasting red and blue outer rings give it added visual interest. Finished with a navy leather strap, it’s a handsome watch with a story to tell.
