thank you, nixon! (not the former president)

nixon inc. will always hold a very special place in my heart. nixon is the watch company where travis and i both worked and met. After I graduated from UC Davis in 2002, I needed a real job. I had just received my degree in Textiles and Clothing, so I started applying for a variety of positions in the fashion industry. After little success with some big clothing brands, I decided to expand my search. With my background in repairing watches (my parents have had a watch repair business at the Orange County Swap Meet since before I was born), I decided to apply at nixon as a service technician. At my interview, they decided I was a better fit as an Office Manager, so I accepted the position. On my first day of work, I made the rounds and met a lot of amazing people that I am still friends with to this day. Most importantly, I met the adorable and charming Travis Mitchell. We shook hands and introduced ourselves and became almost instant friends. The rest is history. Here is a recent nixon ad featuring nixon's latest and greatest: And this is the first watch that I ever purchased from nixon well before I ever thought of working there. The player. I fell in love with the simple and sleek design the first time I laid eyes on it. I am still drawn to this watch even after years of new styles and trends. Thanks to this watch, I met my husband (ok, so God was obviously the One that brought us together, but He used this watch to do it)
