Shinola just built something special for colette, and almost nobody will get one. The Detroit watchmaker teamed up with the Parisian select shop on a limited edition Runwell. The case is 41mm stainless steel surrounding a clean white dial with Super-LumiNova hands and Arabic numerals. Inside ticks the Argonite 705, assembled in Detroit from Swiss parts, the same movement that put Shinola on the map.
The strap is where the collaboration shows its colors. Literally. Horween leather in colette’s signature blue, made from premium American hides. It is the kind of detail that separates a real partnership from a logo slap.
Only 25 pieces exist. The price is $686, which is fair for a numbered Shinola collab with this kind of provenance. You can only buy it at colette, which means a trip to Paris or a very patient phone call. If this one speaks to you, move fast. Twenty five watches across the entire world means this will be gone before most people even hear about it.
