Nooka x Hello Kitty

Hello Kitty can be nauseatingly Kawaii, and so it’s great to see Nooka offer up more of a ‘hint of Hello Kitty’ for this 37th Birthday celebratory piece.

According to Nooka founder, artist and designer Matthew Waldman:

“Hello Kitty embodies the same ethos as Nooka: universal communication – no explanations are required to understand the icon of Hello Kitty’s face – it is a distillation to the minimum amount of information necessary to convey the message of ‘cute’.”

Thankfully, just the right dose of cute in this case.

The watch comes on a white polyurethane band and features an alarm and chronograph mode.

It’s made from Nooka’s food-grade silicone packaging that can be used for cooking and general storage (very handy for a watch, no doubt).

MSRP is a bargain $130, but numbers are limited.

Nooka Zizm

If your eyes aren’t a little bit squiffy already, they certainly will be after staring at the new Nooka Zizm for too long.

Featuring a diagonally split crystal, the face appears almost to be a view into two completely separate dials.

Quartz powered there are two Zizms (Zizi?) available: a blue and a brown.

Price will be around the $370 mark.

Nooka fans will love these I’d wager :-)

Nooka Adventure Time With Finn & Jake

Something for the kids (or the big-kids amongst us perhaps) – the limited-edition yellow ‘Adventure Time With Finn & Jake’ from Nooka and the Cartoon Network.

RRP $120.

Here’s what they have to say about it:

[Press Release] What time is it? Beginning this month, NYC-based fashion design lab Nooka is your hook up for the answer. The highly-creative and innovative maker of watches has partnered with Cartoon Network Enterprises (CNE), the global licensing and merchandising arm of the network, to create a limited-edition timepiece based on Adventure Time, the fun, irreverent new series from creator Pendleton Ward that has people everywhere saying things like “algebraic,” “mathemagical” and “rhombus!” With the limited edition watch set to launch in April and available for the suggested retail price of $120, the Adventure Time with Finn and Jake watch from Nooka features graphics and colors inspired by Jake, human Finn’s loveable canine companion and best friend.

“One of the most defining and charming qualities of Adventure Time is its unique tone and quirky sense of humor that has resonated with a wide range of audiences across all ages,” said Pete Yoder, vice president of Cartoon Network Enterprises. “Building on the original style, we have partnered with Nooka to create a product that is truly unique and captures the fun and creativity of the brand for our older, fashion-forward fans.”

“I am in full awe of Pendleton’s talents – Adventure Time is a breath of fresh air that is inspiring to me as a creative genius – making this opportunity incredibly exciting on a personal and professional level,” said Matthew Waldman, C.C.C. [chief creative czar] of Nooka.

About the Nooka watch, Adventure Time creator Ward added, “I think they’re math.”

Nooka’s innovative approach to representing time has become synonymous with its line of watches. The popular Zot presents a truly unique yet intuitive way of reading time. The 12 dots represents the current hour, while the horizontal bar displays the minutes, with a small window displaying seconds underneath. Set on top of a polyurethane band, the Zot features an alarm and chronograph mode.
From the mind of Pendleton Ward, Adventure Time is produced in partnership with Frederator Studios with Fred Seibert serving as an executive producer on the series. Ooo is a land built for adventure. Teeming with imposing mountains, lush green plains, accessible forests, ubiquitous prairies and winding rivers, the cities and towns are filled with bizarre characters in need of unique assistance. Whether it’s saving Princess Bubblegum, defeating zombie candy, mocking the “oxy-moronic” Ice King, or rocking out with undead music wiz Marceline the Vampire Queen, with Finn & Jake it’s always Adventure Time.

Since its debut on Cartoon Network in April 2010, Adventure Time has quickly become a Cartoon Network fan favorite, with more than 17.2 million kids – not to mention 20 million adults – tuning in to catch the series’ first season, according to Nielsen Media Research[1]. New episodes from the second season currently air on Cartoon Network Monday nights at 8:00 p.m. (ET, PT). Highly popular apparel and accessories can also be found at select retailers nationwide.

Nooka Yogurt Watch

Not much to say here beyond .. this is the Nooka Yogurt circular watch.  No idea why it’s called ‘Yogurt’, but it’s colourful, cheap and err, round.

How’s that?

Oh yes, the hour display is composed of digital hexagons encompassed by a filling minute gauge into six different colored “flavor” cases.

The End.
