Timex 80

"It takes a licking and keeps on ticking."

No truer statement has been made about the 50 year old brand. To show that they will always remain relevant, Timex has released its '80' collection in a slew of new, bright, fluorescent colors. The minimally designed watch features a stopwatch, alarm, date, time, and indigo backlight. They retail for a whopping $50 so when your tired of your Frogman give the 80's a try.

Stylish, simple, cheap, and useful...what more could you want?

Purple Rain Watch

A few weeks I posted images of In4mation x G-shock's 'Purple Rain'. Well I'm excited to announce that the watch has dropped and so has two matching tees by In4mation!! Both are now avaliable at Elite Boardshop in Fairfax, Va.

In4mation x G-Shock

Adding to their long list of special edition watches and collaborations, G-shock has teamed up with Hawaii's In4mation for a retake on their GLS-5600X. The third watch to be spawned by the duo has been deemed 'Purple Rain'. True to its name, the watch has a purple base with blue assents and In4mation's logo displayed on either side of the watch.

The limited piece will be dropping worldwide in December, but you can go here to enter a contest by URB magazine to win one!

Up Against the Wall should have these once they drop.

NOOKA WATCHES!!

You are missing out if you have never seen these watches before!! I first saw Nooka's watches in a Vibe photo shoot featuring black British actor Chiwetel Ejiofor and had to find out more about them.

Nooka was birthed from the mental loins of New York artist Matthew Waldman after he noticed the limited ways to display time on a clock hanging on the wall of a London hotel. He then sketched designs for new and stylish ways of displaying time which later earned several patents.

Nooka has since been featured in magazines, won awards for accessory design, and currently collaborates with Toyota as part of the 5th Door campaign. Pictured here is the BKC ZOT watch from the aforementioned campaign, designed by independent fashion designer Ouigi Theodore of the Brooklyn Circus. It features an alarm, chronograph, date, time, aluminum case, and LCD display. The BKC ZOT is limited to 200 pieces and priced at $200.

Peep the entire range and story behind Nooka at Nooka.com.

Locally, Nooka's ZUB series can be copped at Common Wealth's DC location and Up Against the Wall.
