I recently caught word of this new lineup coming out from Nooka and, being the Bat-fan that I am, I couldn’t resist writing it up. As you might have surmised from the title of the article (and the images), Nooka signed a license with DC, and they’ve got five different Zub Zirc models, each one corresponding to a member of the Justice League (or, for those like me who grew up with the show, a Super Friend).
The last time that we had TIME-IT on our pages, we were taking a look at a watch that called to mind the slap bracelets of the 80s, with a full complement of LEDs (for indicating the time) bringing the look into the 21st century (link). For their latest, they’ve kept going with the LEDs display, but this time it’s re-organized into something that’s a bit more of a “regular” watch.
If you’re like us, you like to find a good deal on a watch. Well, over at Touch of Modern, I’ve found that they’ve actually got four different watch sales running at the moment. I’ll run through them in the order they’re ending.
Happy Mother's Day!
Welcome back to our weekly installment, where we have a quick look at some interesting watches and articles that have popped up over the last week, as well as taking a second look at what some of our more popular articles this week were. Today, we’ve got a DIY smartwatch and a new Italian watch that has an intriguing display. After those, we’ll highlight (as usual) some of our more popular posts from the last week. Read on to see what we’ve got in store for you.
If you’re even passingly familiar with my writing on watches, you’ll know that I’ve really been drawn to GMT watches over the past year or so. Add in the fact that I like showcasing good, affordable watches here on WWR, and our latest review on a Torgoen watch really clicks on a few different levels.
So, the other day I got an email from the winner of one of our previous AVI-8 giveaways. Todd and I had corresponded after he won, and he casually mentioned that he was a pilot, and would try to send a picture of the watch from the cockpit. Well, when someone tells me that, I generally think they’re flying something on the small side. Imagine my surprise to see the shots come in of something that definitely wasn’t a Cessna.
Alright, I don’t know if this will be a regular feature or not, but I had a couple of great videos sent over by a friend this week (and I’ve a paucity of content for Historical Horology). So, I thought why not give you some easy viewing here for your Sunday.
Welcome back to our weekly installment, where we have a quick look at some interesting watches and articles that have popped up over the last week, as well as taking a second look at what some of our more popular articles this week were. Today, we’ve got an interesting interview with a watchmaker who had trials (to put it mildly), and then a look at a new brand by the name of Pellikaan Timing. After those, we’ll highlight (as usual) some of our more popular posts from the last week. Read on to see what we’ve got in store for you.
Our April giveaway of the Gavox Legacy generated a lot of interest, and the voting portion of the contest really got a good number of people involved (over 300!). I definitely think I may try something like this again in the future, I’ll just have to come up with a better way (hopefully automated) of tabulating the results.
