NEWS WATCHES

Nixon Watches Teams Up With The Beastie Boys
Back at Basel 2010 Nixon showed me a few cool watches I was excited to see. They later asked me to not write about them as they were not going to be released. OK, fine. More than a year later and the watches finally show up, Nixon and the partner seemed to work things out. What happened is that these limited edition watches were meant to be released along with the Beastie Boy’s new album. The album was delayed, and so was the watch.Now it seems like things are back on track. Over a year later and the album is just now out. The new album is called “Hot Sauce Committee Part Two,” and as a big Beastie Boys fan, I look forward to hearing it. The watches will come in four colors (green, blue, red, and white) and each in the same style. Band member Mike D is on the dial and there is a quote and graphic on the strap. The cases are about 40mm wide and in plastic with Japanese quartz movements.
Seiko Ananta Spring Drive Watches
This article is about two things. First, about the very nice Seiko Ananta Spring Drive watches (yes they are available in the US), and also about “what you need to know about the Seiko Spring Drive movement.” In addition to the Spring Drive version of the Ananta watches, there are also versions of the watches with in-house made in Japan, Seiko automatic mechanical movements. Though I am going to save additional discussion of them for another article.
