Anyone Know Anything About Nixon?
I just got this Nixon Re-Run as a gift from my brother. He knows I have a thing for vintage and retro digital watches and thought I would appreciate this model. His words were "it looks sort of like that Timex Space Invaders watch you showed me, so I got it for you." I appreciate the gift and did my best to appear properly enthusiastic, but I don't know much about Nixon as a brand beyond the usual "...two surfer dudes decided to start a watch company producing affordable watches with modern designs...yada yada yada..." on their website. The watch seems pretty good, although it has an integrated bracelet, which I detest. My suspicion is that it is manufactured in China using Chinese parts. What I am curious about is the design; is it their own design? Does anyone know if Nixon designs their watches or are they another MVMT/Daniel Wellington just adding their logo to an AliExpress watch?
LúmëgaudAnar is the correct spelling, and means time machine of the sun in Quenya. I've been collecting for a few years and have a decent collection of mostly budget and entry-level watches with a few...
They started in the 90s CA surf culture with watches now I think they're a board shop type wear with clothing and such.
I know that despite his belief to the contrary, he indeed was a crook.
As far as the watches, the only thing I know is that they have made some cool Star Wars themed pieces.
I like how the STAR WARS logo isn't plastered everywhere & is not the most visual thing.
I don't know much either.. I had 1 Nixon I bought myself for a really good sale, big heavy steel watch, quartz, with no lume or anything. It was just adequate, and that was even before I started getting more into watches. I'd wear every once in a while, but without any complications/features I usually like in my watches I'd just keep it a drawer most of the time.
Seen em around liked em, never had them or Hamilton but, it's on the list. They're considered sport watch now bc billabong bought them in 2002 I think it was
