These New Nixon Time Pieces Were Made with Taka Hayashi's Help
Riley von Niessen — November 7, 2016 — Fashion
A series of new Nixon watches were designed with the creative input of Taka Hayashi -- an accomplished artist who's been part of highly successful collaborative efforts with brands like Pendleton and Vans in the past.
For the new Nixon watches, Taka Hayashi works his magic on the 'Time Teller' and 'C39' models. The artist offers a selection of different neutrals, with the formerly mentioned silhouette coming in black, light tan or chocolate brown.
On the leather bands, Taka Hayashi imbues intricate engraved designs, which give the timepieces a lavish element that can't be found anywhere else. For those looking to pick up the C39, getting one may prove difficult as only 100 have been produced.
