The History of Nixon Watches
Nixon is a renowned watch brand founded in 1998 in Encinitas, California. Andy Laats and Chad DiNenna, two enthusiasts of board sports and surf culture, were behind this innovative idea. Their goal was simple: to design high-quality sports gear that meets the expectations of extreme sports enthusiasts while offering an original and refined design. Their goal was to revolutionize the industry by offering products that straddled both ends of the formal-to-casual spectrum; this stemmed from their realization of a glaring gap in the market, where young professionals had limited options for watches that were both stylish and functional.
By incorporating feedback and suggestions from athletes and brand ambassadors, Nixon has been able to develop watches that are durable, accurate, and visually appealing. This collaborative approach has enabled Nixon to quickly establish a solid reputation in the world of board sports, attracting a loyal community of fans.
