METALLICA has announced three additions to the Nixon x Metallica watch collection, including one very limited-run collectible, the 51-30 LTD "Enter Sandman" Nixon watch. Announced in 2018, Nixon's collaboration with METALLICA originally included eight watches plus one limited edition. "The fact that each and every one of the band members wanted to participate and did participate in the project was special," said Joe Babcock, Nixon's director of product, in a video detailing the collaboration. "Bringing that band's energy to life through our product and with our product was awesome." Founded in 1998 in Encinitas, California, Nixon is the premium watch and accessories brand for the youth lifestyle market.
