This morning, I caught a brief reference to Shinola on NPR (I think). I’d thought they were completely defunct, but apparently someone’s bought the name and is making [bicycles](http://www.shinola.com/shop/bicycles/the-runwell-bicycle.html#shinola=ixgH7L31vXq) and [pretty](http://www.shinola.com/shop/watches/therunwell47-sport-chrono-s0145.html#shinola=ixgH7L31vXq) [nice](http://www.shinola.com/shop/watches/the-brakeman-leather-band-watch-s002.html#shinola=ixgH7L31vXq) [watches](http://www.shinola.com/shop/watches/therunwell47-leather-band-watch-s039.html#shinola=ixgH7L31vXq). I’m not really a major watch guy, but they make nice looking watches with leather bands–I’m kinda tempted, next time I’ve got $500-750 to blow.
