I like to know the time, any time and all the time. As time ticks away I like to savour every minute. Now, you must know that I have an infatuation with watches. I may not know about its chronographic features (say what?), or the precision of its movement. Although, I know a quality watch when I see one and I know that I want a different watch for everyday of the week (currently I’m at five).

So when I was looking for my next watch, I wanted a brand that few had acquired. Many people are rocking Seiko, Citizen and Timex. So when I came across the Nixon brand, I knew I had to have one. Nixon is a watch and accessories company out of California, boasting an all-star line up of men’s and women’s watches. They can be seen worn by such celebs as Tony Hawk, Mos Def, and Joy Bryant. Also it’s been covered in such mags as GQ, InStyle, Spin and Maxim.

There were too many choices to choose from, but I finally went with The Revolver. This stainless steel, domed hardened mineral crystal and triple gasket watch (tell me when to stop), comes equipped with a imported full grain leather and a stainless steel buckle (okay, I’m out of breath). Its squarish design, numberless face, and smooth black finish combines class and abstraction. It is the perfect accessory, whether you have a formal affair or just a casual outing. Prices on Nixon watches range anywhere from $60-$1600 (don’t worry, there are plenty of nice styles for under $200).
