Nixon and Horween are two names that need no introduction round these parts. Two of the biggest names in their industries, the Pippen of watches and Jordan of leather (LeBron and Wade if you desire) have collaborated yet again and surprise, surprise, it’s fantastic. The latest slam dunk from the two is The Axe, a vintage style, motorcycle inspired cuff watch that features a three-hand Japanese quartz movement encased in hardened mineral crystal and stainless. Everything about this watch – other than it’s classic face – is all about pairs. There’s the obvious Nixon and Horween pairing, but even the watch itself is a pair. Throw on The Axe as it is when you’re feeling a little more like a biker or a rockstar. If the time comes where you need something a little more professional, all you have to do is slide the watch out of the cuff. Two watches for the price of one.
