NOOKRONO Is The First Chronograph From NOOKA

Mike Newman — Wed, 23 Jul 2014 13:20:06 +0000

If you’re in the market for a watch with timeless good looks, NOOKA is probably not on your list of places to stop. The wrist wear from the NYC-based brand is often loud, funky, and fun. Now they’ve blended their wildness with a bit of refinement to release their first ever chronograph. NOOKRONO uses a […]

The 10 Most Outrageous Bloody Marys

Mike Newman — Tue, 18 Mar 2014 15:15:01 +0000

Ah, the Bloody Mary, the socially acceptable way to get your drink on first thing in the morning. Like every cocktail, people have been experimenting with their own recipe as long as it’s been around. And then, at some point, someone said, “Let’s just get fucking nuts with it,” and insane Bloody Marys started popping […]

Nooka DeLorean

Mike Newman — Mon, 01 Jul 2013 15:48:59 +0000

Nooka doesn’t make your dad’s watches. In fact, they might not even make the watches you are ready for yet. The best way to describe there style would be “futuristic.” Apparently, they don’t make your dad’s taxi either. Art director, Mike Lubrano, did some ad work for the company and came up with this DeLorean […]

Pothra Pot

Ben Dahl — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 15:00:37 +0000

Round these parts, when we use the word pot it’s for not for something you use to store plants, it’s the plant itself. In fact, this might be the first time we’ve ever covered a flower pot at all, but the Pothra has been worth the wait. Designed by the creative minds at everyone’s favorite […]

Nooka Zex Watch

Ben Dahl — Wed, 14 Nov 2012 14:25:32 +0000

Nooka has always been one of those companies that did things a little bit differently. Their latest watch, Zex, takes their square peg in a round hole philosophy to a whole new level. The Zex, so named for the hexagonal face situated in the round case, is one of the coolest watches we’ve seen come […]

Nooka Zub 40

Ben Dahl — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:15:02 +0000

People have been changing the bands on their watches since long before any of us were born. It’s a cheaper alternative to buying a new watch. It lets you keep the face you’ve gotten comfortable with and change the material, style or color of the rest of the watch. But that’s mostly been applicable to […]

The Story of Nooka

Ben Dahl — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 16:00:52 +0000

We make no bones about the fact that we love just about everything that comes out of Nooka. We’ve gone behind the curtain at their offices. We’ve profiled the man with the plan. Hell, we even sell their watches in Shop Cool Material. Behind it all is a desire to make an everyday experience just […]

ZIIIRO Celeste

Mike Newman — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 17:15:15 +0000

No we aren’t trying to make it so no one else is able read your watch. It may seem that way with all the different offerings we’ve featured from Nooka, the app-filled Im Watch and the “Wait, I Swipe it Like an iPad?” stylings of the Mutewatch, but we just appreciate innovations in style and time […]

Nooka ZIZM Watch

Ben Dahl — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 13:15:04 +0000

Nooka watches defy convention. It’s gotten to the point now though that even their standard, completely abnormal timepieces seem a little run of the mill. Obviously this is not something that the brains behind Nooka are comfortable with, so they’re mixing it up again with the ZIZM. Start with the ZenH display (We get confused […]

Nooka Zub 40

Ben Dahl — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 16:15:43 +0000

Nooka watches are great and all, but it can be hard to commit to just one bright, rubbery time piece when you have so many options to choose from. If it was a grail watch, you could just change the strap out for different leathers, bracelets or NATO bands without too much effort. That’s finally […]

Nooka 360 SV

Mike Newman — Tue, 12 Jul 2011 14:50:14 +0000

Telling the time is a simple thing. The only occasions it gets tricky in is if you’ve had a few too many (“It’s half to the little hand o’clock or something”) or if you’re trying to read the time off your buddy’s watch. Unless you’re looking at an analog watch straight-on with the six facing […]

Nooka Wall Clock

Ben Dahl — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 12:59:22 +0000

$500 or more for a clock might seem crazy, but hear us out. Nooka has been making awesome watches that, while occasionally hard to read are incredibly fun and eye catching. If only there were a wall mountable, huge (9″ x 9″) version of one of their watches… Well, now you can help make that […]

GIVEAWAY: Nooka Strip Belts

Ben Dahl — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 14:21:48 +0000

The belt is as necessary as it is antiquated. You can’t very well not hold your pants up, so you’re stuck with a bit of a conundrum. Either you go with the standard prong and hole closure and deal with a fit that’s only concerned with how big you are in inches, or you go […]
