A huge sign proclaimed, “Shinola watches. Samples. $100.” Shinola? That was as meaningful to me as . well, that had no meaning to me. But later I was to find out that Shinola is a magic word around Detroit. The company is based in that city and proclaims it’s “dedicated to producing American-built products, including watches, bicycles, leather goods and journals of the highest possible quality. Shinola’s watchword, though, is definitely watches. Bill Clinton is reported to have bought more than a dozen of its high-end watches last year and Shinola’s company signature Rumwell watch sells for more than $500. I met up with one obviously happy Shinola customer who told me she had just purchased five of those sample watches. She didn’t say if she planned to sell any of them, but it was obvious from her giddiness that she thought she had just pulled off a major heist. The surreal scene of lined-up Shinola watch buyers reminded me of two stories I wrote four months ago for the California Bowling News. I had talked about my recent personal experiences with watches – and they were not good. I wrote that the timing was finally right for me to get over my past travails and buy a new watch – from Target. So I did. The price: $9.99. In other words, I could have bought nine more of these watches for the price of that one Shinola sample. In my two stories, I related how I had bought five previous watches – four from Costco and one from TJ Maxx. All five fell apart – some within weeks, some within months and one just over a year.
