Founded in 2011 by Tom Kartsotis, Shinola is a Detroit-based lifestyle brand established with the goal of reinvigorating American manufacturing. The company began by building a state-of-the-art watch factory in Detroit, training a local workforce to assemble timepieces with Swiss and other imported parts. Its core identity is deeply intertwined with the story of Detroit’s industrial heritage and revival, a narrative of craftsmanship and resilience that informs its product ecosystem. The brand's signature style reflects an intersection of 1930s industrialism and clean, modern design, appealing to those who value quality and American-made goods.
