BONUS: Shinola Sidewall Double Sided Clock

Although this is one of the newer clocks we’ve spotted around New York City, we appreciated the design and thought it was worth special mention. You can find the double sided, personalized time piece mounted on the outside of Shinola, a Detroit-based watch and accessories store located within the Empire Store’s waterfront shopping complex in DUMBO. Shinola also has another location in Tribeca.

Shinola has all of its clocks custom made by Electric Time Company, a legendary company in Medfield, Massachusetts. Originally founded in 1928, Electric Time Company is currently a manufacturer of tower and street clocks marketed worldwide. Its products can be found anywhere from New York City to the Magic Kingdom in Disney World, with each clock designed and installed on the premises of the location. They’re made to order and usually take up to three months to complete.
