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 11 Holden Street, which was to be their base for the next 30 years.

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]
