In celebration of May the Fourth Nixon has released a limited edition Star Wars watch — The Boba Fett Diplomatic.
The Boba Fett Diplomatic is equipped with a Swiss made ETA 2824-2 mechanical automatic, three hand movement with sweep seconds hand and custom engraved movement rotor. The model features a Japanese ceramic case with a custom ceramic three-link bracelet band with a Sport Fit extension clasp. The watch is finished in a Boba Fett green color with the character’s kill stripes detailed on the band.
The box looks even better than the watch. . .which will cost around $2,500 (only 100 made). Wonder how many of these Todd Richards has scooped up? For the official word from Nixon, please follow the jump.

Apparently, P-Rod has had enough of being good on a skateboard and wants to see if he can roll with some dominators in other sports. He also wants to create a new show for Verizon’s proprietary network go90 zone. The result is Can I Hang? It begins on May 1, 2017 only on Verizon.
We never really followed the clothing company LRG (Lifted Research Group Inc.), but it appears the brand has been purchased by San Diego, California based Mad Engine, LLC, according to a story in the Orange County Business Journal.
“Robert Wright and the late Jonas Bevacqua founded the Irvine-based urban streetwear brand— better known as LRG—in 1999 to serve as “a bridge between skateboarding and hip hop. . . “In the months we have spent getting to know each other Mad Engine has shown a commitment to LRG’s future,” Wright said in a statement. “I am optimistic about this new chapter which creates the ability to grow the LRG brand and creates new opportunities and experiences for those involved.”
Mad Engine is a licensing company that works with major consumer brands like Disney, Coca Cola, and Mars and then distributes it through Walmart, Hot Topic, Kohls, Target, et al. This likely means that LRG sales likely be bigger than they’ve ever been very soon. Here, we’ll let Big Engine tell you all about their company.
