Press Release: Encinitas, CA – Premium watch and accessories brand, Nixon, is proud to announce their latest collaboration with the good folks at Spitfire. The collection of three watches celebrates the skate brand’s iconic Bighead logo, recognizable around the world as a piece of skateboarding’s underground heritage, while adding some Nixon-ified details of their own. As part of a continued drive to work with those who are thinking sideways, Nixon was stoked to have a chance to work with this company who continues to push limits with both its products and its team for over 30 years.
The Spitfire Story
Founded in 1987, Spitfire blasted onto the scene with one of the finest products on the market: their long-lasting, urethane wheels that hold their shape under any conditions, anywhere you skate. Since then they’ve kept the skate world on fire by continuing to make some of the highest quality wheels for nearly every type of skateboarding.
Then there’s the team. Over three decades later, the Spitfire Team is still considered one of the best around. Ask most skaters and they’ll tell you: Spitfire continually picks some of the most progressive young riders out there, while still staying committed to a roster of heavy hitting originals. It’s no surprise that brand loyalty for these guys has never waivered over the years; you’d be just as likely to see a Bighead sticker popping up around town today as you would back in the 90’s, maybe more.
About the Watches
Nixon x Spitfire will be available early May in stores and online at Nixon.com. Each of the three Time Teller models pays homage to the Bighead logo in a unique way, while also featuring Nixon’s attention to detail to art, color, and materialization.
