Not all doom and gloom news from Detroit lately.

[woofer2425]

Hopefully they are good quality. Other wise you wouldn’t be able to tell sh*t from Shinola.

Manufacturing is good thing — but kids today don’t wear watches.

[taildragger]

A lot of boutique high end stuff coming out of Detwaa, including a Bicycle with some funky new gearing system....

[HereInTheHeartland]

Shinola is a brand name!!!????

Too funny!

Good news out of Detroit for once.

Shinola watches?
Shinola means shoe polishes and waxes in my world.
and I do know SH*t from SHINOLA and Shinola ain't watches.
I smell a Chinese or similar company doing a bad translation of an American word to come up with a cheap product.
Kinda like the Chinese automobile, the "Chery". Cherry = Chevy.

There is a lot more going on in Detroit than people realize. Canada has reopened the salt mines under the city. Lots of warehousing and freight related jobs will come with the new bridge.

I always wondered how the Shinola people felt about that one (the expression) . . . “Hi! I’m the new man from Shinola!” “Hi, how are ya, nice to see ya.”

— George Carlin, Filthy Words (from Occupation: Foole)

And in the same routine, there was something about another expression about not knowing whether to $#!+ or wind your watch . . . Shinola Watches seems to combine the two, perhaps?

Shinola, shoe polish wrist watches? Will it leave a stain on your wrist? Will it take a spit shine? Is it the same color as s***?

Inquiring minds want to know!

[Mike Darancette]

Nice retro looking watches. I hope they do well.

What will happen is that:

1. They will get a name as a hand built watch.
2. Their sales will increase.
3. The Money guy will demand increased production.
4. They will build bigger/more facilities.
5. Labor Union(s) will get involved.
Leading to;
6. Machine made in China (or worse).

[Buckeye McFrog]

so the locals will have something to pawn at Les Gold’s...

[CSM]

Shinola? What a crazy name. It reminds me of a phrase that begins with another s word.....

[Iron Munro]

How much did they pay an Ad agency to come up with that name?

[Beagle8U]

Shinola watches? Really? How do they tell them from $hit?

[cripplecreek]

More good business news from Detroit.

The private sector could be the salvation of Detroit and smart conservatives should get on board.
