From searching for a suitable sports watch to the market gap

The founder of the Nixon Chad DiNenna brand was already on his board from childhood onwards - whether it be surfing or snowboarding. With his love of water and winter sports, he was looking for a good-looking and practical watch that could combined with sport. When he was still unable to find an adequate solution in 1997, he developed a watch with the successful engineer Andy Laats, which met all his needs. The founders created the watch brand Nixon, whose products were conceived and produced as daily companions for the sport. First, Andy and Chad had sold the watches only in limited edition. You could only buy the sports watches in special snowboard, surf or skater shops. But then the Nixon watches became more and more popular and not only supporters of board sport wanted to wear them on the wrist, but more and more fans of the Californian-casual lifestyle fashion. Nixon then worked with famous surfers, skaters, snowboarders and musicians. The watches, which emerged in prominent cooperation, were published in Limited Editions and found tremendous popularity. Meanwhile, Nixon is headquartered not only in Southern California but also in Europe, and its product range extends far beyond watches. From T-shirts to sweatshirts, tops, jackets, bags, wallets and backpacks.
