Detroit watchmaker Shinola erected four 13-foot-tall clocks around Detroit on Friday, and one of them has already been defaced by graffiti.
The clock in Midtown at Cass and West Canfield, near Shinola’s store, was tagged sometime between Friday evening and Saturday afternoon.
By Sunday morning, the graffiti was removed.
The same graffiti writers also painted “Scae” and “Mince” on the window of a boutique, the Spiral Collective, a block south on Cass.
“Mince” is a common tag in Detroit, and “Scae” is a graffiti writer popular in Miami. “Scae” has been in Detroit for the past few days, according to his social media accounts.
