Of course i could ask for it for Christmas or a birthday but, although i don't always execute the idea, i am a believer in investing in quality over cheaper fast fashion and what is more timeless and classic than a watch that i earnt for myself. Its a staple piece and if the right one is chosen, can go with any outfit, day and night, casual or classy, its something that lasts. And of course i could jump on the Michael Kors/ Marc Jacobs watch hype but if working as a intern in PR has taught me anything it's that there are so many brilliant undiscovered brands out there which offer something a little bit different and definitely more innovative in design.
I recently started working as a intern for Sane Communications (click on the name for the link to their website) and one of the first things that is a vital part of working for a PR agency is having a good knowledge of the clients they represent. I spent the first few days wandering about the showroom and really getting familiar with the AW14 collections and getting to grips with the trends for next season and one brand that grabbed me straight away was Nixon.
Now don't get this confused with 'Nikon' the Japanese camera company, like my sister did, but she also thought Vogue was called Vove so lets not even go there. Founded in 1997 in California the company has expanded and sells a range of watches and other accessories on a international level. As someone who isn't really into big flashy jewellery and heavy items Nixon appeals massively to me but then i also feel they offer something for everyone and even the hardcore Michael Kors fans could be converted by some of the watches they have to offer, because lets face it everyone wearing the same thing on their wrist is getting a bit boring.
Take a look at some of my favourite picks from the current collection available on their website now...
