nooka zaz

text by michael traverzo



nooka has taken the art of customization to the next level with the release of the zaz. it's innovative display screen and futuristic design complements a line of products that are sure to evoke a feeling of a glam-future.

the most prominent and unique feature of the zaz is its transparent face (zenv), giving the illusion that the time is displayed directly on the individuals wrist. aside from the face of the watch, the zaz comes equipped with a green led light, a first for nooka.

the placement of the strap distributes the weight of the watch in a way that makes it feel weightless. unfortunately, unlike the zon, the strap can not be adjusted to sit on the right side or the middle of the watch. this is for the left arm. in order to wear it on the right wrist, the individual must wear it upside down; however, legibility is not affected.

three models of the zaz will be available: silver face with black or white leather bands, or a silver mesh band for $395 each. pre-order yours here, all orders will be shipped out early november.
nooka is available at fine shops all over the world and online here.

nooka zem





the next generation is here and no i'm not talking about star trek. nooka has unveiled its newest line of watches, the nooka zem. the zem line brings a new shape and aesthetic to nooka timepieces with a gem-cut case that completes the look of our nooest products, the nooka strip, ao and fragrance. the crystal itself is the thickest of any we've ever produced, creating a jewel-like quality and adding weight to this design. the case back is also unique to this model and shaped to mirror the form of the crystal. you can thank nooka lab member alexander yoo for these details.

the models with the metal bracelet also introduce a custom touch to the zems. we spent over a year perfecting a unique metal link bracelet, and the effort has finally paid off. so though a huge watch, this is a product for the people out there requesting something bigger and heavier. should i add the words "heavy metal" to "glam future"?

the zem line consists of 16 separate models featuring nooka’s four most popular faces: zot, zenv, zenh and zoo, as well as 4 different styles: night and silver with black leather, night with black mesh and silver with silver mesh. pre-order your new luxury item, the nooka zem, here. prices are $375.

the zem has already been getting an incredible amount of attention online and hopefully soon in the magazines. moreover, people just love it when i wear it, and it is fast becoming one of my favorite pieces.

nooka is available at fine shops all over the world and online here.

nooka X the one club


let me start by saying that it is truly an honor to be featured in the 2010 college competition for the one club. for those of you who are not familiar with the one club, they are the world's foremost non profit organization that promotes creativity in advertising.

each submission needs to tell both the nooka story and the stories of the products included in our current product line through print, online and broadcast media. eligibility is open to any college or university student anywhere in the world.

the judges will rate each submission on the factors listed below:

+ innovation: is the design new and unique?
+ aesthetics: is the delivery of the message novel and compelling?
+ technical ability: does the design require mastery of the tools of the trade?
+ manufacturability: is the design practical and viable?
+ nooka’s mission: is the design culturally and environmentally responsible?
+ subjective criteria: how does the design appeal to the judges.

and of course, what you are all wondering about, whats the award for winning? well, winners are featured in a very glamorous show in NYC each year (the indian food at last years award show was really yumm!). and if that isn't enough, in addition to winners selected by one Show, nooka, in its sole discretion, may select one or more entries in any category in order to develop them for possible use by nooka in its promotions. there is a cash award for work that may be chosen to be used as an actual campaign, but get full rules and information in the link below.

For more information, please visit the one club here! i highly encourage anyone to post this info on their design and school related blogs. i personally am looking forward to seeing the submissions (fortunately for everyone, i am not a judge). submission deadline is february 19, 2010.

nooka is available at fine shops all over the world and online here.
