Apparently it's getting very hip to say your product is made in Detroit.
The latest on that: Fossil, the hip watch maker, which produces other products as well, is leasing 30,000-square feet at the Argonaut Building to manufacturer watches and bicycles, WXYZ-TV reports.

Crains reports that Fossil is already producing a line of watches in the building.
