What We Do

In the fall of 2010, Shinola, a Bedrock Manufacturing brand, was conceived with the belief that products should be well made and built to last. As makers of modern watches, bicycles, leather goods, and journals, we build all of our goods to last. But of all the things we make, world-class jobs might just be the thing we’re most proud of.
