Nooka Watches

Nooka Watches are the brainchild of artist and designer, Matthew Waldman. in 1997, Matthew had a flash-back to a first grade math class while staring at a large wall clock in a London hotel and was struck by how few options there were for time display. He then sketched his ideas for potential designs on a napkin and brought them back to New York. After working on the designs, he submitted them to his legal team, and indeed, they were unique enough to patent!

With Nooka Watches The linear and graphic representation of time presents a more intuitive way to view time. The visual mass increases as time passes, giving weight to an ephemeral and abstract concept. Once you're used to the new visual paradigm, you may never go back to standard analog and digital time displays for your wrist.

Initially licensed to Seiko in 1999, the Nooka Zoo Watch enjoyed critical acclaim in the select markets it was released. Nooka Inc. now produces the line more truthful to Matthew's original vision. We are proud to be included in the Museum of Modern Art shops and Barney's in New York and selected as finalist in the Genart awards for the accessories category for 2005. We hope you enjoy them too.
