The image above shows each piece of the Shinola quartz Argonite 705 watch movement, which powers The Brakeman. Like the engine of an automobile, a watch movement is comprised of carefully machined and calibrated components that must operate in precise coordination for the mechanism to properly function. Just one flawed or improperly fitted piece can bring the entire engine to a halt. That’s why Shinola watch movements must be assembled by hand—often under magnification—and rigorously inspected by our Head Watchmaker at each step to ensure high-accuracy performance.
