ENDS The Family Time Podcast — where watches, business, and culture connect.

What if the real flex isn’t just wearing the watch…
But owning the company behind it?

In this episode of ENDS The Family Time Podcast, I break down how I transitioned from being a watch collector and flipper to becoming a shareholder in the brands I believe in.

I invested in publicly traded watch corporations like Fossil, Movado Group, Swatch Group, Hugo Boss, and Richemont using Robinhood — and I’m explaining why.

We’re talking:

• Why I chose these specific companies
• The difference between buying watches vs. buying stock
• How fractional shares make investing accessible
• The risks and mindset behind investing in luxury brands
• Why ownership changes the culture

This isn’t financial advice — it’s a mindset shift.

If you love watches, brand strategy, Detroit hustle energy, and building wealth beyond the wrist… this episode is for you.

Because the real evolution?
Collector → Investor → Owner.

Most people think flipping watches is luck.
Or hype.
Or having thousands of dollars to start.

That’s a lie.

In this episode of ENDS The Family Time Podcast, we break down how real watch flippers turn a $50 watch into thousands—using knowledge, patience, and strategy instead of gambling and flexing.

We talk about:

This isn’t theory.
This is real-world game from the resale trenches—pawn shops, online marketplaces, estate finds, and everyday watches people sleep on.

This isn’t just about watches.
It’s about family, time, and legacy.

There are watches you buy…
and then there are watches you earn.

My first Shinola watch wasn’t just a timepiece—it was a milestone. As a hired Shinola employee, receiving and wearing the Shinola Derby Mother of Pearl, two-tone gold & silver 38mm watch meant far more than its nearly $900 MSRP. It represented pride, craftsmanship, and being part of something bigger than myself—Detroit manufacturing, legacy, and time well spent.

This is the story behind that watch and why it still matters to me today.

When you work for a brand that’s rooted in your city, your culture, and your community, every product carries meaning. The Derby wasn’t just my first Shinola watch—it was confirmation that my time, effort, and skills mattered.

It symbolized:

That feeling is something no hype watch can replace.

The Shinola Derby is a perfect example of understated luxury—clean, versatile, and built for everyday wear.

The standout feature of this Derby is its Mother of Pearl dial, which:

This dial brings elegance and personality to a simple design.

It’s a watch that works with your style, not against it.

With an MSRP close to $900, the Derby isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about investing in quality and story.

What you’re really paying for:

As an employee, that value hit deeper. It wasn’t about cost—it was about earned worth.

Wearing the Derby changed how I view watches entirely. It pushed me away from hype and toward purpose. It taught me that watches aren’t just accessories—they’re markers of moments in life.

That mindset eventually helped inspire Shabazz Collection:

Every piece we curate or create is rooted in that same philosophy.

Absolutely.

The Shinola Derby is ideal if you’re looking for:

It’s timeless, wearable, and emotionally grounded.

If this story resonates with you—if you believe watches should mean something—you’re already part of the family.

At Shabazz Collection, we focus on:

Whether you’re buying your first watch, learning the craft, or joining our growing community, this is about more than timekeeping.

It’s about time well spent.

What does it take to build a watch brand when you have no formal watchmaking experience, no investors, and no safety net—just belief?

In this deeply personal episode, Jovan Shabazz, founder of Shabazz Collection, shares the unfiltered story of how a Black man from Detroit turned curiosity into craftsmanship.

From refurbishing broken watches bought on eBay and thrift stores, to reselling on eBay, Poshmark, and Facebook, Jovan breaks down how learning by doing became the foundation for something much bigger. The journey eventually led to designing his own automatic and quartz watches, officially going into production at the end of 2025.

This episode isn’t just about watches—it’s about:

Jovan also talks about the recent relaunch of ShabazzCollection.com, designed by him personally, and why every Shabazz Watch represents more than style—it represents growth, resilience, and belief.
