Since 1997, Nixon watches have mesmerized shoppers with their quirky styles and swish styling that has impressed everybody from stars to sporting heros.
Looking out for a certain sort of watch, founder Chad DeNenna could not find something that excited him when he went shopping one day. So he made a decision to make his very own.
Now, the line has expanded exponentially with line of high quality watches coveted by people everywhere. These cool timepieces go from conservative to extreme and everything in between.
When the company first launched, they were considered trendy and geared the line more towards the surfer, skateboarder, and snowboarder crowd. Since then the line has reached mass appeal and is becoming a great gift item for anyone who wants to show their style and class, as well as their personality.
If you like a chunky and funky girly watch, they have it. In fact, with their Vega Watch for women, they donate the proceeds to fight breast cancer. So your purchase can really go for a good cause, as well as look great on you.
For the geek in you, there's the Nixon Men's Newton Watch. But don't be surprised if the cute brainy women in the office notice the hip style. Who knew that a watch could be an ice-breaker?
If you are out on the job hunt, then the classy Nixon Banks Watch will show that you have a sense of style that is always impressive. The phrase "all in the details" comes to mind as you put the nicely weighted, sleek band on your wrist.
While you can expect to pay more for a Nixon watch, it says something about you, your personality and your style. That is just something you cannot get from most other watches. The whole point to having a Nixon watch is to smash the stereotyping, which was the message that the snowboarding founder wanted to send.
Wearing Nixon watches speaks to those who want to put you in a category by transcending the message of who you are and who you are meant to be. By sending the right message, you are breaking the mould and showing the distinct side of you that keeps you from falling into that stereotype.
Back in 2006, the Billabong Company acquired Nixon for $54 million dollars. Not bad for a company that started less than 10 years early for only $1 million that the founders raised to start the business. Billabong has kept in line with the original vision of the founders by offering such a vast line of fun, classy and sleek designs.
With professional skaters such as Tony Hawk donning on the latest Nixon design, the following for Nixon will only continue on its path upward. In reality Nixon uses many sports execs to come up with ideas and input on the watches built to keep up with the demand of that following.
When you begin to look at some reviews of Nixon watches, you find that there are so very many that state how many compliments they get, or how it strikes up chats because they're watches that get spotted by everybody.
With the growth and status that Nixon watches brings, there may be a time coming in the near future when someone may ask you "What's your Nixon?"
