Damn Proper Nixon Watches At Barneys

Sometimes the whole “action sports timepiece” thing can get a little trite. Brightly colored plastic, tide charts, shrill digital alarms, you know the drill. That’s probably why this new exclusive collection of limited edition Nixon watches from Barneys New York are so damn refreshing. Just look at them. Handsome, refined, classic, and yes, expensivo. The Automatic Chronograph on the left half of the photo retails for a cool $4,750.00. Luxury, indeed. The one on the right is only $550, but then it’s the cheap one, isn’t it?
