Team-designed, custom-made

From the beginning, our mantra has been to harness our team's talent to realize our vision. We work with a diverse group of athletes, musicians, creatives, artists and activists, such as John Florence, Leila Hurst and Zion Wright, to name a few. This select group of people helps us to identify new features and create stylish models. Whether creating the perfect tide watch, creating the ideal snowboard backpack or simply finding a way to break the mould of traditional design, our team is the secret ingredient that allows us to design unique models.

Iconic products

Throughout Nixon's history, some models have become true icons. The retro-futuristic luxury of the Player, the irresistible minimalism of the Time Seller, the high performance of the robust Regulus, created in collaboration with agents from the US Special Forces, the classic Sentry design and the unmistakable style of 51-30: all these models stood out and set the style standards for an entire era. Not to mention innovative models, like the fun Dork and Dork Too with voices, and the distinguished Newton design experiment, which surpassed all expectations in its form and functionality.

A commitment to collaboration

Thanks to the network of our global team, we have been able to work with some of the most influential figures in the world, forming unique collaborations. From Metallica to Mickey Mouse, from Santa Cruz to Star Wars, these products bring fans from both sides together, as they represent the essence of our partners' aesthetics revisited by Nixon's lenses. Discover the new and original collections and collaborations we create for each season.

Locations worldwide

Encinitas, California, remains our homeland, but we were very lucky as we opened offices in Asia, Australia and Europe alongside our favorite sports venues. Our global presence allows us to always be attentive to the demands of the markets in which they are present.

People inside. Plastics outside.

Basically, we owe everything to the ocean. It's where we work and surf, it's energy, food and contact with nature. As a company, Nixon wants to contribute to the preservation of the planet and the well-being of people. Using recycled plastic to make new products is certainly a good way to do this.

Nixon's big new challenge is to produce his bags and four of the most sought-after models of recycled plastic watches that would otherwise end up at sea. In addition, other products are also being planned. By using recycled plastics in our materials, we are making a sustainable product, preventing waste from reaching the ocean and involving more and more people in this battle. Their goal is to eliminate waste from the ocean, involving more and more people. Buy Nixon watches made of ocean plastic, watches made with ocean plastic

Our time to change

Tide is an innovative company that aims to reuse the plastic that threatens our oceans for the creation of sustainable products, in view of the circular economy. With Swiss precision, plastic for the oceans becomes a sustainable material used in the production of the new line of surf watches. Making technical surf watches in ocean plastic is a decisive step for our company, although it is only the beginning.

The REPREVE® company aims to reduce the number of plastic bottles destined for landfills, recycling them for the production of high performance fabrics. REPREVE® Our ocean fiber goes further, using bottles that would otherwise end up in the oceans. Thanks to the collaboration with REPREVE®, we were able to create our entire line of bags with this revolutionary material, removing thousands of plastic bottles from the environment each year.

MADE WITH SOCIAL PLASTIC®

Stopping ocean plastic and improving the lives of collector communities - Committed to the creation of a regenerative economy system, Plasticbank has developed a new recycling model. Its employees, recruited from coastal communities around the world, are paid to collect the plastic that is reintroduced into the supply chain. This approach improves the lives of people who have the task of protecting the oceans from plastic pollution and, at the same time, prevents the spillage of this material into the sea. For Nixon and its sustainable product line, Plasticbank is the ideal partner for long-term success.

Introducing the Art of the Escape.

Escaping is something we take seriously. It's such a personal, yet universal experience, wanting to unplug, reset, expand your thinking, recharge.

Escapes come in many forms, but one thing remains constant-when the stars align and you find the perfect one, you need to be ready.

Whether you're marooning yourself on an island with a perfect right point, skating your way through different countries, or just vibing at a show across town, we make the little stuff you bring with you better.

Gift A Meal To Those In Need.

Nixon is collaborating with our community to spread generosity with the help of Hunger: Not Impossible. There is plenty of food in this country, yet people are hungry every day.

Hunger: Not Impossible is tackling this hunger dilemma through developing a simple text base application that feeds people when and where they need it. Most recently, they have been working with Beyond Emancipation website in Oakland, CA to distribute meals to teenagers who have recently left the foster system. When Not Impossible founder, Mick Ebling visited our office and spoke, we loved this idea and wanted to see how we could help out.

For Giving Tuesday, we are partnering with Hunger: Not Impossible. For every item you order from Nixon.com they will automatically donate a meal to a person in need. You also can visit here and donate directly to the project. Join us and Hunger: Not Impossible in making a difference in the Oakland community. And please, spread the word to all your friends.
