Matthew Waldman started Nooka as a platform to incorporate his graphic designing skills and take forward what he had begun with Seiko. With initial steps like retailing at MoMA and support from fellow designers, there was no looking back for this industrious creative genius. Today Nooka Watches stand for creative time telling…you sure want to own a piece or share this modern legacy with your family and friends.

Whenever a concept comes into our box, I can usually make a quick decision as to whether or not it’ll make it to the blog by giving it a once-over. But when it’s a concept inspired by and designed for an international brand, my immediate response will either be harsh or laboriously complimentary. Fortunately this concept falls into the latter. I know Nooka and its head henchman Matt Waldman so I can say with certainty, this concept watch takes the Nooka DNA and twists it into something new. Kudos.

The thing about Nooka watches is that they are constantly evolving and setting new trends in the way people wear their timepieces and read time. Using this as an inspiration, we have here the Xon, a kitsch version of how we can carry our Nooka: with keys, carabiner, dog tags, lanyard, necklace and more! Superb fun!

在一次因緣際會中，我問了瑞典 依萊克斯 全球化設計副總裁 Henrik Otto 他對於 「CKIE 創意方程式」的看法。「CKIE 是一個設計師能盡情揮灑自己的創意、消費者也能支持自己所喜愛的創意的所在。身為消費者，能有機會實際參與一項創作專案，讓創意從紙上談兵變成實體產品，會提升他擁有這件物品的價值和滿足感。而身為設計師，能有機會見到自己的創意為其他人所擁戴，甚至被製作成實體產品，那種成就感是無與倫比的。」

I asked Henrik Otto, SVP Global Design of Electrolux, his thoughts on CKIE. “CKIE represents an exciting opportunity for designers and consumers alike. As the consumer, the chance to participate in a unique project and help realize the production of a design heightens the value and satisfaction that comes from ownership of that particular piece. As a designer, to see the fruits of your work rewarded by the faith of others and especially through to production is incredibly rewarding.”

I have quiet little corner in my heart for Nooka products. They’ve created a brand unique in a world of “me too” designs. Everyone and I do mean EVERYONE rocks Nooka wrist wear. Teens, dads, celebs – hell, even the most pragmatic people find something endearing about Nooka watches. But why limit it to your wrist? The designs are clearly strong and bold enough to exist in a different format. The Nooka Wall Clock is like a Nooka watch on steroids, sans wrist strap of course. Support it on CKIE.
