The Re-run story: TIME TRAVEL SEEMED POSSIBLE You might not have Christopher Lloyd wildly gesticulating at you all the time, but at least you've got a watch that plays the part.
The Re-Run's 80s styling might have you nostalgic for the last time time travel seemed possible, nay, probable.
With an all-digital calendar, dual time, alarm, countdown and light, you won't need that nutty scientist to get all the facts and gigawatts straight. Because it was sort of weird that they were hanging out so much anyway. |

The second version (V Series) of the Nooka Zoo sports a full-face mineral crystal lens, making it as easy to clean as wiping with the edge of your designer-label T-shirt!

The large window displays hours (months in date mode) and the row above counts minutes.
Housed in stainless steel with an LCD display, the watch has an EL backlight, and stainless steel mesh strap with adjustable sliding clasp. |
It is 35 x 35 x 10mm with 28mm wide band Modes Time, Date, Chronograph and Alarm. |
Nooka is NYC designer Matthew Waldman's NYC watch brand spawned from his lifelong desire to see time represented in untraditional ways. The Nooka watches feature linear displays of LCD bars, dots, dashes, and the occasional digit. |

Pebble Steel takes everything you know and love about Pebble— the crystal clear ePaper display, weeklong battery life, and waterproof design—and wraps it a smaller, thinner package.
It’s made of forged and CNC-machined stainless steel. The display is protected by a Corning Gorilla Glass lens with an oleophobic, anti-fingerprint coating.
The housing also subtly incorporates a RGB LED light to indicate charge status.
Like the original Pebble, Pebble Steel is waterproof up to 5 ATM.
Pebble Steel comes in two finishes: Brushed Stainless and Black Matte.
All models are bundled with both a matching metal band and a black leather strap.
The Black Matte Pebble Steel is crafted using a process called Physical Vapor Deposition to provide a tactile, deep black finish that’s also ultra-durable. |
