A special farewell tour in the heart of Detroit! 🏙️ This lovely couple joined us for a See the D tour as their final adventure before moving from Detroit to Chicago. They first met while working at Calexico in the 1 Campus Martius Building—now just a memory, but their story lives on. We captured a moment in front of the fountain where it all began.

🕰️ Only 4 Tiffany glass clocks exist in the world and 2 are right here in Detroit.
Tucked inside the Guardian Building, these rare timepieces are set into the iconic Monel metal screen. The other 2? They're in New York.
And while many assume the surrounding glass is Tiffany too, it’s not. Just the clocks.
With some Tiffany lamps selling for over $1 million, these might just be Detroit’s most underrated treasures.
