A Close Look at the Nooka Zaz & Zem

Treating myself to birthday gifts the other week, I picked up two timepieces from Nooka – a ZAZ and a ZEM. I had the pleasure of meeting Nooka founder Matthew Waldman at the ICFF Offsite ‘Sounds Like’ opening and he’s an awesome dude. He was wearing a black Zem and asked if I had one yet – and now I do! These new high-end Nookas come in sleek gem-cut cases and are beautiful. Peep the photos below.

The Zaz features an off-set translucent Zen-V face. The time is told through 4 vertical bars over a backdrop of the wearer’s skin. This is maybe my favorite among favorites in my ever-growing Nooka collection. When I wear it I feel like time is hovering over my wrist. The Zaz is available in three different band options, silver mesh, black leather or white leather. I chose the silver mesh so I could capitalize on shine. Tell me this is not one of the coolest watches you’ve ever seen.

The Zem is a fun new watch that brings a new feel to wearing the future. The Zem features a gem-cut minteral crystal lens and in-person, these things look borderline computer-generated. I had a hard time picking out the color and the Zem is available in a few different forms. You can get the Zem with four different face styles (zot, zen-v, zen-h, and zoo), ‘night’ or silver face, and a black or silver high-gauge stainless steel bracelet or smooth black leather band. After a long time of mulling it over, I decided to opt for a little contrast with a Zen-H silver face and a smooth leather band. This watch is badass.

What’s next up for my collection? I’m eyeing a Pink Zub Zirc….

Here are the watches actually being rocked.

The Nooka Zaz – Translucent Bad-Assery!

If it isn’t already blatantly obvious, I am foaming at the mouth at this watch. Announced over a year ago, the Nooka Zaz is finally here! I WANT. BAD.

The Nooka Zaz features the Zen-V face, which tells time in vertical bars- it’s actually quite easy. The even more unique feature with this new watch is the translucent face, using your skin tone as the backdrop for telling time! Hope you have a good enough complexion to rock this. Anyway – I want the white one real bad. $395USD.

Nookas have already claimed my wallet (and my wrist) – can I fight the urge? Nab it here.
