Nooka + S9EZ Zub Zot with Mini NookaNooka

It's been a while since I posted a Nooka, but as I'm off to an opening of an art exhibition, this watch will fit in well.

The Nooka brand was started by Matthew Waldman who's novel designs lead from work with Seiko to running a watch (and accessories) company.

This model is a collaboration between Nooka and S9EZ and features a strap covered in the S9EZ skull logo. S9EZ was started in 2011 by DevilRobots founder Shinichiro Kitai and figurine maker Takuji Honda. They work together in various types of media for the Japanese and international market using the two tone skull logo. It may be a limited edition, but says 001/XXX, so that might just be for show.

The watch is one of Nooka's Zub Zot 20 models. It has an LCD display with a series of dots for the hours, a horizontal bar for the minutes, and a two digit numerical display for seconds. The display can also show the date, and there is an alarm too. This display is called the Zot layout (and is the first Zot I've blogged).

It has a rubber 20mm wide strap with a buckle (the Zub and 20 part of the name).

The watch also has a companion NookaNooka collectors toy. The toy is the representative of the Nooka brand and has a distinctive U shaped head. It can also be used as a stand for the watch which loops around the body and head. So far 11 designs of these have been produced and are linked with the artist series Nooka watches.
