Shinola Video Quotes Used
“Perhaps most audacious, though, was using Detroit's economic peril as an opportunity to amplify Shinola's message.” - inc.com
“Shinola partnered with Ronda AG, a Swiss maker of watch movements, and Taiwan-based dial manufacturer BAT Ltd. Both foreign companies provided components and trained Shinola's workers.” - inc.com
“People were willing to pay the Detroit-made premium” - inc.com
"Shinola is, and always has been, a job-creation vehicle, and our intention is to create jobs in this city we now call home," Shinola President Jacques Panis - Business Insider
“Kartsotis and the other early members of Shinola had no previous ties to Detroit before starting the company there” - Business Insider
"compared to some of the other products out there, they're definitely charging a premium," Ariel Adams, founder of the blog aBlogtoWatch, - Detroit Free Press.”
“Swiss Made” and “Made in Germany” do not require 100% of the watch to be made in country. “Made in USA” requires every component in the watch, including the movement, to be actually manufactured in the USA. - Hodinkee
“In this case, the Company sources significant inputs to many of its products overseas. For example, 100% of the cost of materials used to make certain watches is attributable to imported materials.” - Federal Trade Commission
"certain materials presented to us during the pendency of our investigation raise concerns that Bedrock may make deceptive U.S.- origin claims in the future. Therefore, we will continue to monitor the Company's advertising closely." - Federal Trade Commission
