Our Story

Committed to Craft

What started as a watch company in 2011 has grown to be so much more. Shinola is a Detroit-based luxury design brand with an unwavering commitment to making lasting things—from timepieces to leather goods, jewelry to apparel.

Made with Purpose

At our Detroit headquarters and factory, local artisans hand-assemble luxury timepieces and craft premium leather goods. Our commitment to quality has allowed us to build a modern American, design-driven lifestyle brand that celebrates domestic manufacturing and community at scale. From the assembly of our first timepiece to today, we deliver thoughtful craftsmanship and timeless design that inspires people to live well, with confidence and joy, in a style uniquely their own.

Redefining Luxury

This way of life represents a deliberate pause in a fast-paced world. It’s about choosing quality that endures, embracing design that transcends decades, and creating moments that feel both nostalgic and precisely of the present.
