Nooka has always been one of those companies that did things a little bit differently. Their latest watch, Zex, takes their square peg in a round hole philosophy to a whole new level. The Zex, so named for the hexagonal face situated in the round case, is one of the coolest watches we’ve seen come out of the Nooka Lab in a while. The 53mm stainless steel case (available in black, gold or silver) is one of Nooka’s largest and perfectly blends the traditional round case style and leather strap with Nooka’s innovative hexagonal face that tells time with their proprietary analog dot face (dots in the circle are hours, hashes in the line are minutes). In other words, we love it.
