We have been loving Nixon's latest smart watch Dork Too . Below Nixon give a break down of the creators and ideas that went into making this instantly iconic watch: At Nixon we’re supremely interested in the makers and doers of the world. All over the globe, people continue to inspire us with new ways to make, change, create and push the boundaries of what’s been done before. The work these progressives are doing influences the work we do here to create the new and it’s especially fun when we get to partner with some of them like we did on the Dork Too.
