The Mechanic is a hand-wound mechanical watch that honors the simple, tactile analog experiences of life. The name is inspired by the rich history of sign painters in Detroit, who called themselves “mechanics” in tribute to their precision and skill in conveying information with clarity and style—not unlike a well-crafted watch.
In keeping with its throwback design, the Mechanic features a domed black dial, box crystal, curved hands, and a toothy crown for easy winding. An exhibition case back window reveals the mechanical manual-wind movement. Finished with a tapered black whip-stich leather strap, the Mechanic is a truly unique addition to the watch lover’s repertoire, with a plucky wind-it-yourself attitude and style to spare.
Note: Due to the unique nature of the PVD Khaki coating of the stainless steel case, color tone may vary between timepieces, making each unique to its owner
Take care of your watch, and it will take care of you. That’s the sacred, one-of-a-kind relationship between watch and wearer that makes hand-wound mechanical watches so special.
In honor of this tactile ritual, Shinola presents the Mechanic.
It’s an instrument at the intersection of art and engineering, specifically crafted to be preserved for future generations to treasure. From the domed glass and hands to the refined leather strap, this is a timepiece that will hold a special place in every wearer’s collection—and heart.

MANUAL WIND SW210-1
The hand-wound Swiss-made SW210-1 accurately keeps the hours, minutes, and seconds. The Mechanic should be manually wound habitually to restore the minimum power reserve of 42 hours. To preserve time keeping accuracy, keep it away from magnetic fields and shield it from strong impact that could permanently disrupt the movement.
