You don’t need to go over your budget to purchase a beautiful timepiece. Anglo-Swedish watch label Larsson & Jennings has proven that with their selection of eye catching watches at reasonable price points.

Larsson & Jennings was established in 2012 and has since created a solid line of unisex styles which are both modern and classic. The Chain Metal collection and a recent addition – the SAXON collection – are two of our favorites from the brand.

Let’s start with the CM collection. There are three color options, the first is a gold on gold combination. The CM Gold features a big, but not too big 40mm polished gold plated 316L case and bezel. The face of the watch is white with gold hands and indexes – a statement piece in the core collection that compliments and range of styles and aesthetics.

The second style is an all silver watch. A bit more traditional with polished stainless steel case, detailed with steel hands and indexes sitting on a white dial.

The third style may be our favorite – a sleek and stylish all black version. The CM Black combines a matte black bezel and case which houses a black dial detailed with gun grey hands and indexes.

The recently introduced SAXON collection is a bit more traditional. The SAXON series has a 39mm case and also features date and sub dial functions to the Larsson & Jennings core collection.

Each style is Swiss Made, but it’s the bespoke handles that are the icing on the cake. The straps are handmade from Swedish or British leather. The watch’s face is covered in anti-reflective coated crystal sapphire glass – resistant to scratches. A brushed 316L case, bezel and lugs have an angular finish to create a modern aesthetic, and the classic accents are captured in the dial which features sculpted hands, a sloped chapter ring and minimal indexing.

Nixon watches are a fine choice for a first quality timepiece
Here's why Nixon Watches are some of the best out there
Three various Nixon watches.

About 16 years ago, my then-girlfriend (now-wife) gave me the first decent-quality watch I'd ever owned. It was an analog Nixon with a broad leather band and a handsome, square black face framed by brushed steel. Before getting that Nixon, I'd worn Swatch and Casio wristwatches as a kid and a cheap, Soviet-made windup that worked terribly but looked interesting in a retro-cool "I'm in high school and alternative and look at me!" kind of way. I still have the watch my now-wife wife gave me back in 2002, and although it has since seen two different bands and has been relegated to hiking watch status due to all the scratches marring the face and case, it still works perfectly.

Nixon isn't an old company. The brand just celebrated its 20th anniversary. Nixon was launched to fill a niche. Its founders, action and snow sports enthusiasts Chad DiNenna and Andy Laats, needed decent watches with a youthful yet refined look that sells for an affordable price. Indeed, Nixon watches bridge the gap between the cheap, functional watches many people slap on without a thought and pricier, luxury chronometers worn primarily to impress and that only tangentially serve as reliable timepieces.
