FATYO 6th Anniversary FATIME Watch


Getting away from the G-shock trend, and following in the steps of Bapex, Tokyo kingpins “FATYO” are putting out their own “FATIME” watch. This “Daytona” based design is a collabo with Zozotown’s Dedue store for Fat’s 6th Anniversary. Most details are kept true to the Rolex’s original version. Color-wise, the watch face comes in comes in black, green, blue, and yellow. Though it talks the talk, this watch unfortunately does not have diving capabilities. So you can get it wet in the rain but you won’t be going all out with it.

Nooka Glow in the Dark Zub


In honor of the widely successful Glow in the Dark Tour featuring Kanye West, N*E*R*D, Lupe Fiasco and Rihanna, watch brand Nooka re-worked their Zub watch in a special Glow in the Dark finish. The watches were given as a gift to Kanye and company at the completion of the tour last Saturday in Los Angeles. The Zub watch is among the latest in popular watch styles which utilize more abstract time-telling methods with the use of changing LED bars to denote the time. With only 15 watches produced, a larger release is more then unlikely.

Timex Black Collection 2008


With so many distinctive styles available and something in the market for everyone’s individual taste, Timex’s title of leading watch manufacturer in the United States is there for a good reason.
