VOID Copper V01EL.

Voidcopper

VOID is a new, independent boutique watch brand launched in 2008 as the single vision of Swedish designer David Ericsson. They have a unique take on design using simple yet expressive shapes, giving the watches an almost architectural expression. Just like a great building is designed to fit its environment, the timepieces are made to sit perfectly on your wrist.

Nooka Zub Zayu.

Woah, check it out, Nooka just added a new watch to their lineup. The Zayu is the newest member of the Zub series. I’m particularly happy about the new curved back since nobody's wrist is flat. The Zayu is also equipped with a nifty sleep mode to conserve battery and a rubberized PU body. This is one sweet watch, and it can be all yours for the just $175!

TAG Heuer Monaco V4.

The Monaco V4 concept watch was the first ever “belt driven” movement – and is still the only such movement to operate in the way it does. It is gimmicky sure, but it looks very cool, and still images don’t really do it justice. Another unique aspect of the watch it’s the automatic winding system. Instead of having a rotor that oscillates, it has a weight that moves in a linear fashion up and down – just like a piston almost. That movement acts to move gears that wind the mainspring. I don’t know exactly how elegant it looks in reality, but it is certainly a very interesting concept, and now reality.

Nooka Zirc.

The Nooka Zirc features a new display design, also at 35x45x10mm, it is the largest display to date.
The 12 dots represent hours and the horizontal row counts minutes. EL back light and alarm included. Band is 22m wide - please note that Nooka replacement bands will not fit on Zirc.

Totally going to get this instead of a Tokyo Flash watch. Why? Well Nooka watches do not drain the battery since they are all backlit and not LED displays, unlike Tokyo Flash watches which contain up to 34 LEDs.

Nooka ZON Watch

The Zon takes the digital watch concept into an entirely new realm. One where the simplest way of marking the passage of time meets the new technological age. Featuring a dual display, the Zon reads much like an hourglass, with each block marking a single minute in time, while also offering a numeric digital read.
The Zon is a world-time watch, allowing the wearer to scroll through all 24 time zones with the click of a button, and making the Zon much more than just a fashionable timepiece.
