An ode to Nixon Watches
An ode to Nixon Watches
Big, bold and not for the faint hearted, Nixon Watches scream don’t mess with me! Watches this big and fat are only found on the most confident of men and like a piece of well designed ammunition on the wrist, a Nixon watch is programmed to attract admiring glances..
Nixon is represented by a host of big names, most notably in extreme sports and music. With Nixon teams established in the skating, surfing and snowboarding arenas, as well as brand representation within the music industry (the UK’s ‘Little Boots’, Mos Def and Santigold), the label has very much positioned itself at the intersection of urban cool.
Owning a Nixon watch will most definitely earn you style points among friends (and enemies). With all the mod cons, functionality and durability to boot, these watches are not only amazing to look at, but hard wearing and practical. Of course all this comes at a price, but can you put a price on style?! The Nixon wristwear collection ranges from a whopping £1,100 to a very reasonable £50. At the top end of the scale is the ‘The Ceramic Player’, a gloriously chunky, yet slick, white ceramic number with scratch resistant sapphire crystal, 3 hand Swiss movement and a face bedecked with jewels. We could see this little (big) beauty fit very comfortably on Mr T’s wrist in the new A-Team remake! At the very bottom is a completely contrasting wristwatch, with a no-fuss polyurethane strap available in a multitude of bright colours. Named ‘The Time Teller’, this Nixon watch is great for the 2010 summer colourful watch trend and cheap as chips too!
We cannot stress enough how great these Nixon watches are. Surely when your watch enters the room before you do, you know you’re onto something good!
