Mark Eckō Non-Stop watch

It's my last day of work before the holidays, so I decided on a watch which is a little over the top.

This watch is called the Non-Stop and is by Mark Eckō (or just Mark Ecko if your keyboard can't handle it). The name of the watch has caused all manner of silly questions online about whether it doesn't stop - the answer is that the brand hasn't invented some kind of infinite power source, so of course it will stop when the battery runs out of power!

Mark Eckō is an American designer, artist, and inventor who runs the billion dollar lifestyle and fashion company Mark Eckō Enterprises. Their best known brand is eckō
UNLTD, a t-shirt and fashion company popular in the hiphop and skater fashion world, and recognised for its rhino logo.

This is the second Mark Ecko watch I've blogged, and it is also pretty noticeable. It is a giant silver slab of metal, and is so large (at 6cm x 3cm, and 1cm thick), it has a bend to make it fit around your wrist. The watch has 2 inverse dot matrix LCD panels, the bottom one showing time, and the top one showing day and date as well as the Eckō name. On the face, it says this is a 16-bit watch, which I assume to be referring to the processor chip, but that is a little over the top as the watch only has alarm, timer, and stopwatch modes. Below the displays is a raised section with the brand name, while the black leather strap has studs with the rhino logo.

The back has the brand name and the logo, and has the usual manufacturing location (China), and material (base metal).

The model number is E95009G1, and the watch is no longer available. I think it came out around 2009/2010, but I haven't found the rrp.

Mark Ecko White Crystal watch The Deca E1206G1

I've wearing a bit of bling with today's watch, with something that is quite noticeable on your wrist.

Today's watch is by Mark Ecko (or mark eckō as it is on the logos). The Mark Ecko Enterprises company has been around since 1973 when it was started by Marc Ecko, Seth Gerszberg, and Marci Tapper. They have rooted the brand in graffiti and streetwear, and are now a globally recognised company with multiple brands. Their watches are aimed to be affordable takes on the latest styles in city life, street art, and youth culture.

From one of the sites I saw this on, it appears that the name of the watch is The Deca (-all of the Mark Ecko watches seem to have names, so I believe this). The model has a model number of E15026G1, and as it is a discontinued model, I assume it is from the 2000s.

It is a large watch with a solid stainless steel case and bracelet strap. The bling comes from the number of white crystals that are positioned around the edge of the watch, the edge of the dial, and between all of the hour markers (which are roman numerals). In the centre of the face is the dial with a 3 hand design on a silver square pattern with the Mark Ecko rhino logo at the 12 o'clock position. Inside is a Japanese quartz movement .

The original sale price varies between the sites I've found it on,  but appears to be around $150-199.
