Proud new owner of two Shinolas!

I’m excited to share that I’m now the proud owner of two Shinola watches: the clean and classic Runwell 41mm with the cream dial and the Lake Michigan Monster Automatic with the absolutely beautiful blue mother-of-pearl dial! I honestly couldn’t be happier with these two pieces! Growing up in a big, humble family, we never had a lot of money, so being in a position today where I can purchase something I genuinely enjoy, appreciate, and connect with is a pretty special feeling. Watches have become something I really enjoy, and there’s something meaningful about owning pieces that speak to you personally. I picked these up in celebration of my birthday, and I’ve been reflecting on just how fortunate I am. Not just to own these watches, but to have my family, to share these moments with the people I love, and to appreciate how far life has brought me. Life isn’t always easy, and sometimes it’s the little things that remind you how much you have to be grateful for. Today, I’m feeling especially thankful. Happy to be part of the Shinola community, and I’m looking forward to enjoying these watches for years to come!
