ADINA Watches is an Australian manufacturer of clocks and watches.
History
ADINA was founded in Woolloongabba in 1971 before moving to the Brisbane CBD for a 6-year stint before returning to Woolloongabba and purchasing the building at 11 Holden Street, which was their base for the next 30 years.[citation needed]
Factory
After almost being flooded in 2001 the decision was taken to purchase 209 Logan Rd Woolloongabba and make Adina's first custom-built factory equipped with two state-of-the-art workshops. One for production, the other for after sales service, making it one of the oldest family-owned watch companies in Australia.[2][3][4]
