I love Shinola. Not just because they build great products, but because they’re offering jobs to individuals in Detroit who’ve been decimated by the economy. The Shinola Brakeman Watch ($625) utilizes Swiss parts which are meticulously assembled in Detroit. Inspired by time pieces from the early 1900s, the watch features a 46mm stainless steel case, the hand-assembled Shinola Detroit-built Argonite 715 quartz movement, and Super-LumiNova hands and indices. The 24mm leather straps are stitched in Largo, Florida. Make a social impact and get a cool watch at the same time.
