Uniquely designed watches speak to me. I’m a huge fan of Nixon brand timepieces (no, nothing to do with the former President). The gold-white contrast and large square face of Nixon’s The Ticket watch caught my eye and it immediately went on my wish list. A year later, I tore the wrapping off a birthday gift to find one sitting in my hands. My silver Ticket came to me serendipitously. I’d stopped in to one of Paragon Sports Warehouse Sales, and was poking around the watch display case what should I see shining up at me, but the extremely rare silver Ticket with mother-of-pearl face. HALF OFF. Sold.
The Ticket is more than 10 years out of season now, but you can still occasionally find one for sale on Amazon or Poshmark.
