Band-Inspired Upcycled Timepieces

Nixon and the Rolling Stones Launch a Limited Watch Capsule

— August 31, 2022 — Lifestyle
Nixon works in collaboration with the Rolling Stones on a new limited edition timepiece collection that is meant to celebrate the band's 60th anniversary. The joint project sees classic watch styles that are made with upcycled materials for a sustainable mindset.

It features the Japanese Automatic movement along with an upcycled digital, and a unique chronograph -- all of these are detailed with the iconic Licks logo that is reminiscent of the band. Notably, only 250 special edition pieces were made and the first four are numbered specifically for friends and family. It has a sleek look and the woven dial is detailed with the tongue and Licks logo along with the aforementioned Japanese Automatic movement.
