Genuine question: what’s the hype with Sinola watches? I feel like from the price point there are far better options in terms of style and horology

There are better options. They’re an overpriced fashion brand masquerading as serious watchmakers.

They get hyped because a) fashion brands tend to get undeserved hype from social media (e.g. Daniel Wellington); and b) their brand leans hard into the blue collar, Detroit built aesthetic (99% fake) that people like to buy into

Fashion brand. Stay away from their movement.

There was a big menswear push / obsession 5-10 years ago for supporting heritage brands that manufactured in the US, Shinola was pretty good imo with jumping on that train and positioning their watches as being MADE in the GREAT city of DETROIT, despite them really just assembling and finishing in the US. Mens trends tend to stick longer, and I imagine there are still dudes looking for watches with a Made in the USA tag

Tacky quartz watches where most of the price you pay goes to their GQ advertising and made in America smokescreen… hard pass

Over the past year, my counsel is constantly judged by a select few senior business folks (eg arguing over FTC compliance, IP risk counsel, and even simple things regarding NDAs that any attorney wouldn’t question.

It feels like they want a rubber stamper, which is not me.I never faced this at my prior in-house roles (probably because they were much a larger). Any advice on how to handle?

I put a deposit down on a Rolex for my wife last November with my local dealer. Nice guy and no reason to doubt it as I underwent here were a lot of delays with Rolex. He initially said they’d expect it in 3-4 months and has since said they’re working to fulfill all orders by end of June. Is this ridiculous or sound about right?
