“We make the little shit better”
Just like their watches, Nixon’s attitude is big, bold and expressive.
Described as affordable timepieces that tell a story along with the time, their
watches certainly project the no-bullshit, take-me-as-I-am attitude that is the
Nixon ethos.
The newest model to their ladies watch range, The Monarch,
certainly lives up to this attitude. Described as “a statement of power and
prestige….like an elegant set of brass knuckles”, the geometric lines and rich colour
palette certainly make this a stand out timepiece. Like the Michael Kors range,
Nixon are all about the boyfriend style watches, but where Kors is glamour and subtlety, Nixon is bolshie and unapologetic
in it’s size.
This models is all about the lines: faceted applied indices, custom moulded hands, heavily faceted bezel, faceted cut bracelet links.
The
most interesting feature however has to be the constructed crown guard/lug
which is finished in acetate, unbalancing the otherwise all gold case.
Available in white and gold, gun green and rose, the model that
packs the biggest punch is the gold and tortoishell version. At £245 this feels
like excellent value for such a detailed piece and another one to add to my
Christmas list.
