Bill Clinton is into Shinola watches.
Amy Haimerl of Crain's Detroit business reports that Clinton, in town as the keynote speaker for Saturday night's annual Michigan Democratic Party Jefferson-Jackson Dinner at Cobo Center, was presented with a third watch when he toured the Shinola headquarters and factory Saturday. He owned two already.

Haimerl also reports that Shinola has plans to open another store in Midtown.
Details are sketchy.
But she writes that the store won't sell its iconic products, but will peddle other American brands.
