Nixon Fall/Winter 2012-2013

Nixon's Slow Burn collection for F/W 2012-2013

I was invited by Lyza Gutierrez of Nixon to the media launch of Nixon's latest Fall/Winter collection  the other day and the watches this season are just all too good! Unlike some watch brands that just slap on their label on whatever styles a factory in China comes up with, Nixon watches are designed by a team who really get the surf, skate and snow lifestyle. Drool drool drool...

Big, Badass Black watches from the Slow Burn collection

Styles from the Hudson Street collection feature high polish gunmetal plated stainless steel with high polish champagne gold plated details.  

Going for gold from L to R: Bobbi, Camden Chrono, Spur

Big, Badass Gold Watches: 42-40 "my dream watch" on the left and The Camden on the right

Time Teller P in splashy new colorways

More than just watches, Nixon is also now into apparel and accessories, turning out to be quite the lifestyle brand. But, back to my first love, the 42-20 Chrono. So here's the new color this season, which is now available in Manila. It is called "Gun & Gold" from the Hudson Street collection:

I swear, with the 42-20, you can never go wrong, especially since they come in all these colors that are just TDF! I've spotted these at the Nixon website and they are are amaaaazing as well:

All Black/Tortoise

My all time fave in All Gold

Rose Gold/White Granite

All White/Gold

High Polish/White Acetate

Sigh, right?

The Fall/Winter 2012-2013 Collection of Nixon watches are now available at Segnatempo Greenbelt and Newport, at Rustan's, SM, Landmark, Gaisano and Robinsons department stores as well as Meridian and Watch Republic shops.

Wanna Buy Watch?!

I have had big, bad, gold watches on my mind for years now, and while I would love to borrow Dear Hubby's massive gold watch for "wala lang" days, because his watch is the ultimate, I know he won't let me. Because even he can't seem to wear his watch out even on special occasions, so why me? Hahaha!

 

The gorgeous, blond Brazilian girls I would see at my FIT Continuing Education classes wore Swatch Full Blooded Unisex Watches, but I dunno, the style still didn't appeal that much to me. It was "pwede na", but didn't make my heart go thump thump thump:

So, when I saw the Nixon 42-20 Chrono, just today (I know. Where have I been hiding?!) I told myself, dizizit! 

Such a big, bad-ass, in-your-face gold watch. Without the big, bad, in-your-face price! Well, it's not that cheap at $450, but it's no $25,000 Rolex ala the Olsens!

 

So there, yeah, I found my good for everyday gold watch. I want you Nixon!
