NIXON WATCHES MAKE (NOT JUST) SURFERS HAPPY

Encinitas, 1998. To put it briefly: in this small California city on the Mexican border, you'll find pretty much the best waves of America's entire west coast. As a passionate wave rider, it's more than easy to forget about the time. Surfer Chad DiNenna realised he was also lacking the right instrument: a watch made to suit his lifestyle. So, he decided to found the Nixon label with Andy Laats , a gifted engineer. The mission: to create wristwatches that are perfectly suited to the scenes ' needs in terms of look, feel and function. To fulfil their objective, the pair work together with surfers, skaters and action-sport athletes - always staying true to the motto "team designed - custom built". They enjoyed success right from the start.

NIXON: HAVE IT ALL. FUNCTION AND STYLE
