It's Nixon Time!

Nixon watches came into being 15 years ago as a reaction to the lack of quality and choice available on the market. They now consider themselves a game changer in the market who can "deliver what you need in various high stress work and play environments" with "a network of athletes, rock stars, retailers, and dedicated loyalists that bring Nixon products to market. They are absolutely committed to every last detail ensuring that what you get is the very best and will reflect your values, style and character.

Our collection of watches has grown each season as it's popularity demands us to expand colours and styles. New in this season we have the new version of the Unit 40, we were smitten with the original design but this new sleeker design has us falling in love all over again. And the ever colourful Timeteller's will have you re-considering your outfit to match your watch!

With something for everyones taste's from the traditional and super functional to the brightest fashion colours and hard wearing timepieces you won't be disappointed with Nixon watches in any way. View our online collection here or come in store for more!

Pantone's colour of 2013

Pantone have given their annual trend forecast for the colour that will dominate our year as....drum roll please.....Emerald 17-5641. This beautiful fresh colour brings to mind luscious plants, sparkling jewellery and energetic interiors.

Describing the colour of the year Pantone's Colour Institute executive director Leatrice Eiseman says that it is "The most abundant hue in nature, the human eye sees more green than any other colour in the spectrum... Symbolically, Emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation, which is so important in today's complex world. This powerful and universally-appealing tone translates easily to both fashion and home interiors."

No other colour has such a rejuvenating power as green hues do so we can't wait to get our wardrobes and homes dazzling in Emerald tones.

Here are a few of our current favourite jewel toned products to get you a head start - 

Alex Monroe Peacock earrings 

Catherine Weitzman emerald rondelle necklace
