About Shinola: In the fall of 2011, Shinola, a Bedrock Manufacturing, Co. brand, was conceived with the belief that products should be built to last, and they should be built right here in America. As makers of modern, handcrafted watches, bicycles, leather goods, and journals, we are proud to be based in Detroit, a community-minded city with a strong manufacturing legacy. We built our watch factory and bicycle workshop within the College for Creative Studies in the former Argonaut building.  As a new company with a storied name, we stand for skill at scale, the preservation of craft, the beauty of industry.
