J.N. Shapiro Watches

J.N. Shapiro Watches is a watch company founded by Joshua Shapiro in 2018. Joshua Shapiro is an educator with a background in American history, but he developed a passion for watchmaking and engine-turning. The brand is known for its unique and intricate engine-turned dials, which are handcrafted in Los Angeles.

The company's first watch series, known as the "Infinity Series," was launched in 2018. The standout feature of this series is its "infinity weave" engine-turned pattern, which presents a basketweave within a basketweave, showcasing the brand's dedication to craftsmanship and attention to detail. The dials are entirely made by Joshua Shapiro himself, reflecting his mastery of the art of engine-turning.

Despite his role as a high school principal in Los Angeles, Joshua Shapiro is committed to pursuing his passion for watchmaking. He draws inspiration from other contemporary engine-turners such as Derek Pratt, George Daniels, and Roger Smith, who are esteemed figures in the watchmaking industry.
