WATCH FACE OFF!

We Are Vultures try and make life a little bit easier... today we thought it would be essential to show the best of the best contemporary watches. Not those that will grow in value with age, be one of those 'heirloom' pieces. But instead an innovative form inspired DESIGN piece.


After scouring through all the brands, we feel the two essential brands that connate these values are NIXON and NOOKA...


According to NOOKA: 'Nooka believes in the power of universal languages, like those used in math, science, and commerce, to increase understanding and enable diverse groups of people to work together. The universal visual language of Nooka creates a communication tool for all of mankind, promotes the exchange of ideas across the globe through great designs.'


However what think is Nooka have very retro futuristic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retro-futurism) designs. Nooka takes a different innovative approach to a watch face. They often use the familiarisation we have with a typical analog watch face yet make it digital. It questions what you once knew, you pay more attention and it grabs other peoples attention too. A analog clock is just a series of dots that we count in a way to tell us the time, below we do the same we count the rectangles to give you the hour and the minutes pushing along like a horizontal sand time filling up as the hour comes to a close



According to NIXON: We make the little shit better. The stuff you have that isn't noticed first, but can't be ignored. We pay attention to it. We argue about it. We work day and night to make the little shit as good as it can be, so when you wear it, you feel like you've got a leg up on the rest of the world. We believe that you deserve a lot of respect. When you choose to wear a watch, or select a wallet to hold your hard earned cash, or want to put the final touch on your steez, you deserve to have something that reflects your entire package.

This sums it up quite accurately, it does not bring the science like Nooka however it cuts the crap and just produces interesting simplistic minimal watches. I may be a little biased as I do personally own one. However it is no exaggeration to say I get quite a lot of compliments when wearing them. Its not a 3k Rolex or Tag Heuer Monaco worn by Steve Mc Queen its a Nixon and its better shit...


It would be to biased for me to decide so I'll leave that upto you. However you can get both brands at:

@Sartorialist Inspiration

Sometimes when its hard to find inspiration I am not afraid to admit i scrawl through the blogs of http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/ an so forth. There on the fashion forefront when i am deep in thought pondering over the next direction to take.

I have recently found two gems of inspiration photographed by the sartorialist. They very much capture my style, (I believe so anyway). Great use of layering, heritage fabrics and customisation. Take a look for yourselves...

THINGS WE LIKE: KARMALOOP kazbah




Karmaloop is a leading online retailer for streetwear and fashion. It was originated in 1999 and created in a revolt against the 'Abercrombie Zombies'. Karmaloop also has its Kazbah! The kazbah allows new brands their chance of being sold to the thousands of Karmaloop customers. Aspiring brands can ask to be submitted via their website and if accepted, customers will be able to buy these new brands. These give great exposure to new fashion designers and brands to give them a platform to distribute their goods and also for Karmaloop to stay true to its underground roots.

Aim 2011 is to gain a Kazbah store.
