Oris & Nixon Watches
Oris
We are proud to carry two special watch lines. Although very different styles and prices, both brands represent the store's character......unique. They are not "cookie cutter" timepieces. J Peck Jewelers does not have any interest in representing watches for the masses. Instead, we want to cater to the person who is looking for something "outside of the box".
Five Reasons to Own an Oris Watch.
Over 100 years Oris has been making watches in Switzerland. Our watches are purely mechanical and are marked out by their distinctive design as well as the red rotor, the symbol of Oris mechanicals. Oris watches are also popular, as celebrities from Formula One, diving, jazz, aviation, and Hollywood queue up to wear and support our unique creations.

2. Characteristic Designs
Oris watches have distinctive faces and functions. Oris design is clean and follows the design concept form follows function.
3. Swiss Quality

Oris watches are handed down from generation to generation. Oris watches are available all around the world. Hand-made and High-Mech, with the Red Rotor as Trademark. Turn your Oris watch over and you can tell at once that Oris is a leader in the world of mechanical watches. The window in the case back makes the complex inner workings of the watch visible, displaying the mechanical movement at the centre of the timepiece. And these mechanical hearts have now been beating for over 100 years.
Nixon
The stuff you have that isn't noticed first, but can't be ignored. We pay attention to it. We argue about it. We work day and night to make the little things as well as we can, so when you wear it, you feel like you've got a leg up on the rest of the world. We believe that you deserve a lot of respect. When you choose to wear a watch, or select a wallet to hold your hard earned cash, or want to put the final touch on your steez, you deserve to have something that reflects your entire package. You may not know how to say it, but you've got something to say. People, you can't slap on an off-the-shelf piece and consider yourself you. Can you? That's why we started Nixon and that's why, 8 years later, we're still here.
Nestled comfortably out of the way up against the pacific ocean in southern California, and tucked neatly next to the best surf in Europe, you'll find Nixon people doing what we do. What started as a frustration at a lack of quality watches that simultaneously do the talking for you and deliver what you need in various high stress work and play environments has grown into a network of athletes, rock stars, retailers, and dedicated loyalists that bring Nixon products to market. Some people look at professional skateboarders, surfers, and snowboarders and mistakenly think they know what they're looking at. Stereotyping can get you in trouble. Their skills are ridiculous, yes, but their experiences reach far beyond that handrail on the corner. Their actions are focused on perfecting their sports, but their interests and style are anything but focused. Their perspectives are unique, yes, but their needs are universal. It is our job to reconcile the former with the latter. Nixon hand picks those riders that are leaders in their sports and works with this elite group to make sure their perspectives contribute to a single unified expression: team designed, custom built.
