Nooka Zon Watch Dots The Time Away

Kit Eaton — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 13:00:00 EST

The Zon is the latest in Nooka's line of variously confusing and interesting (for a given value of beauty) timepieces: Its 35 x 45mm dot-matrix display either displays the minutes of the day dotting into nothingness like a digital egg-timer that's counting down until tomorrow, or a proper numeric time readout. It also has a list of cities and timezones for travelling, and it'll come in white or black, or a mirror-like display for extra confusion. Due next week for $650. [LikeCool]

Nooka Glow-In-The-Dark Watches Are Just For Kanye West

Jason Chen — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 16:00:00 EDT

Speaking of jackholes with gadgets, here's Nooka's special glow-in-the-dark Zub watches that they made for Kanye West and his "Glow in the Dark" tour. You know, Nooka, the company tha tmakes watches with dots and meters? Too bad you can't have any of these because Kanye took them all. Tough luck, sucka! Maybe when you're a multi-platinum recording artist, you too can have a gadget made just for you and then take them all. [Nookastyle via Core77]

Creatures-of-the-Night Nooka Watches Have Camouflage, May Not Disappear on Your Wrist

Kit Eaton — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 07:38:46 EST

Latest in the lineup of unusual Nooka watches from designer Mark Waldman comes Creatures-of-the-Night, in camouflage patterns that make reading the time off the Zen-H style face even more befuddling. The watch was originally only going to come in boring old urban gray. But Mark couldn't contain himself, and also went for jungle green and an insanely multicolored version that would probably only be camouflaged on Saturn. Mineral crystal glass, stainless steel back, PU wristband and brain-twisting LCD display for around $250, available this month.

Nooka Zirc Watch: Coming Soon (to Kanye's House)

Wilson Rothman — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 09:42:29 EST

Who doesn't love an artistically offbeat way of telling time—and telling your friends exactly how cool you are? Zirc is the first new watch from Nooka since 2005. Its elongated rectangular frame is meant to be worn up the arm a bit, held by a metal mesh or colored band. Nooka replaced the old rectangular hour-counting dot array with a circular one, perhaps because it's better for a quick check of the time. (Is Nooka saying that radical designs might stray too far from practicality?) Kanye apparently loves the Nooka line, so our guess is that when the $350 watch comes available in December, Mr. West gets a review sample before we do. [Nooka press release]

Nooka Rubber Watch Tells Time in Dots

ybaranovsky — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 21:25:41 EDT

Nothing screams "cool" like the Nooka rubber and plastic Zub-20 Zot watches. Coming in six different colors (because who doesn't want an orange rubber watch?) the Nooka watches display hours as a progression of 12 dots while the minutes flow along the horizontal line below. The date and seconds — because the company ran out of unique ways to show numbers — are shown in a generic digital window.

The watch features a 20mm-wide band and is waterproof for up to 90 feet in salt water. It's available now in Black, White, Red, Orange, Yellow and Blue and will set you back $125 dollars while simultaneously destroying your sex life. [Nooka via Plastic Bamboo]

New Nooka Models

johnb — Mon, 28 Nov 2005 10:46:50 EST

Nooka has been quiet for a while but they just dropped seven new models including the ZEN series and ZAN. Nooka, designed by Matthew Waldman, is a pretty cool boutique line of digital and analog watches. For a while all they had were the ZOO and ZOT but these new models, including a weird one with dual plates that spin around each other, are awful purdy. All of them cost about $250 and the two that I have are really full of geek chic.
