Our History
Inspiration
Richard Dixon
Our journey began in Lisbon in 2017, when two childhood friends from Portugal, Nuno Marques and Mário Rodrigues, met Richard Dixon, a young Brit on an Erasmus exchange. Richard quickly captivated them with his calm demeanor and his profound outlook on time. To him, a watch was much more than a functional object; it was a way of being present, a means of connecting to the now and transforming the everyday into something meaningful.
Over the years, this friendship grew, and Richard's impact was profound. His sudden passing in 2022 brought a tremendous loss but also a deep inspiration. Nuno and Mário realized that the best way to honor him was to create a watch brand that embodied his essence – the balance between elegance and simplicity, the ability to be present in every moment. And so, Richard Dixon was born in November 2023.
The Design
At Richard Dixon, each watch is designed to be timeless, just like the friendship that inspired it. Every detail, from the choice of stainless steel to the minimalist design, reflects our commitment to creating pieces that are elegant and versatile, ready to keep pace with a modern and authentic life. We want everyone who wears a Richard Dixon to feel they are carrying a constant reminder of the importance of living with purpose.
Our watches are an invitation to presence and to appreciating time as it is: precious and unique. We know that every second counts and that the simplest moments bring the most value. At Richard Dixon, we don’t just create watches – we create travel companions, objects of inspiration for those who want to be reminded, with each glance at their wrist, that time is more than minutes passing by: it’s an opportunity to live fully.
