A Rebellion in Time Pieces

Nov 29 2011 Published by under Nooka

Make no mistake about it, this is not your great-grandfather’s pocket watch. Or your grandfather’s Timex. Or your father’s Swatch. The next legend of time pieces is marking a new trend in design, class and durability.

 

Built with comfort and style in mind, these watches are breaking out of the box, creating a new statement for an entire generation. With the whole world questioning tradition, authority and embracing new power for integrity and expression, Nooka watches are already being spotted on celebrities around the world.

 

That\’s Rocawear: Panama

 

The Nooka Zub Zot 20 is a rebellion against classic timepieces. No ticking hands, no numbered dials. Instead, an eclectic design of dots and bars to show the hour and minutes. Durable and strong, made with polyurethane rubber to offer a comfortable wear it provides a brilliance that is hard not to notice.

 

Nooka’s collaboration with Nickelodean and Viacom Consumer Products has resulted in a playful twist on the retro-pop culture. The quintessential bar designs on the face of the watch tells the time, while the retro headphones embellish the band, giving the Nooka MTV Zub Zenh Headphones 38 it’s own sense of character and personality.

 

Nooka Zub Zayu Blue Watch offers a truly unique design along with the largest watch face available. The time capsule display and comfort fit band finish off the perfect timepiece for those with a busy lifestyle. It’s easily switched from left wrist to right, without losing any functionality, a definite innovation in watch design.

 

Nooka operates under the belief that anything is possible. And it is. We see that in the beckoning style that makes each and every watch a piece of artwork. An expression of youth, a symbol of solidarity and a showcase of independence. Stepping away from tradition and leaping forward into a future of endless possibilities.

The Story of Nooka Watches

Apr 26 2011 Published by under Nooka

Ever wonder where the name “Nooka” came from? As it turns out, it is a short term for “New Yorker”, ‘Noo‘ = “nu”/“new”, ‘ka’, being the suffix of “Yorker”.

The brand was founded by Mathew Waldman in 2005 after Seiko had stopped manufacturing their sub-brand, that was similar to the current ZOO series. Waldman manufactured a limited quantity of 1000 ZOO and ZOT watches that sold out in eight months. Nooka’s first major client is MoMA (Museum of Modern Art) in New York.

Nooka can be divided into 6 different series: they are the ZOO, ZOT, ZENH, ZUB, ZIRC, and ZAYU.

ZOO: The hours are displayed in a numeric number in large window, and the minutes by horizontal bars.

ZOT: The hours are displayed as dots, and minutes by horizontal bars.

ZIRC: The hours are displayed in a circular manner like a traditional clock, the dots representing hours and grow in mass as the time passes. The minutes are represented by a horizontal bar.

ZAYU: Taken from the Japanese word “sayu”, meaning left and right, it features an asymmetrical design The hours are displayed as dots, and minutes by horizontal bars. Also the first watch to have “sleepmode” to conserve battery when not in use.

Interestingly, a recent article has been published earlier this month online discussing the likelihood of the decline of the needs and sales of watches. Good news for us watch wearers, experts believe that watches are not dying out despite the technological advancements in smartphones, PDAs and laptops, in fact it is doing the opposite. Eighteen to 30-year-olds own several watches, and are changing it with the seasons. So it is safe to say that it will be a long while until we see everyone on the streets wearing their iPod Nano Touch on their wrists.

Top 5 iPad 2 Clock Apps

Mar 06 2011 Published by under Nooka

With the new iPad 2 out this month we thought we would review some of the best time telling apps available. First off, the incredibly SEXY click.clock HD with music playback controls. (long name) is by far the best looking clock app. It is a legit designer clock that is said to guarantee to impress anyone that walks by it. It concentrates on the basic function and sticks to the design of the iPad, at the same time integrates into the iPod speaker system.

Second, the iFlipClock for iPad is a retro flip clock that allows you to fully customize your clock on your device. You can change individual sound for hours, minutes, and seconds as the number flips, and also assign individual colors to them. The background can be changed to any color and photo of your choice. A cool idea is to find a photo of an actual vintage clock and have it placed as the background, so it would look very convincing.

Third, there is the Wink Alarm Clock for iPad. It actually looks really neat with these ‘mesmerizing’, and minimalistic alarm clocks; for some reason, Apple didn’t include any clock apps on their iPads. The developers of Wink Alarm wanted to “capture the dynamism of time”, and make “passing hours and minutes more beautiful to look at, but just as easy to read.”

Fourth, which were tied between the Clock Pro HD, and the Emerald Chronometer.

Clock Pro HD – Which is the default app that should’ve came with the iPad. It includes an alarm clock, iPod music alarms, analog clock, chess clock, world clock, stop watch, nature times (shows sunrise, sunset, midday, high tide, and low tide, and could be handy for surfers!), sleep timer, egg timer(?), metronome, count down, and a few others.

Emerald Chronometer – It has some really high-end mechanical watch faces containing the most complex “complications” found in real watches. It is the Clock Pro HD juiced up and it contains highly accurate data from 4000 BCE to 28 CE… astrological positions, constellations, etc, etc. It comes with 15 watches in all, with 26 total faces. This thing is a beast.

Fifth , A Binary Clock. Simply put, this is THE watch they would use for Tron.

 

If carrying round an ipad to tell the time seem like a bit of a hassle then why not get yourself a a shiny Nooka minimal watch instead and remember all our watches come with a 30 day money back guarantee.
