Sector Compass Torch Watch For Transmitting Messages in Morse Code

With all of the communication technology we have at our disposal today, good old fashioned Morse code is all but forgotten. However, I can see it making a comeback in a big way if these "Sector Compass Torch" watches take off. A small flashlight is embedded into the side of the watch and can be used to deliver messages along with the complete chart of international Morse code that is printed on the face. Unfortunately, the watch is a Japan-only release (and it is expensive at $620 to boot), so I'm afraid we will have to continue to transmit our •—•• — — — •—••'s via text messages for now.

Hiranao Tsuboi Minimalist LED Watch is, Sadly, Just a Concept

There's minimalism, and then there's this LED concept watch from Hiranao Tsuboi at design firm 100%. The LED lights forgo the need for a watch face by being interwoven with the links on the wristband. The look is sleek, and unlike many concept timepieces these days, I can actually tell the time.

Im into Nixon right now......this is how i vent. ..hahah

All i want for Christmas.....

This past weekend, South African surfer Royden Bryson claimed victory at the Nixon WTA in Mundaka, Euskadi, for getting the longest tube. The first South African to win a WTA title, Bryson snagged a 3.14 second barrel during heat 13 of round two. Despite the less than stellar conditions, there was a burst of activity during the second round with Jordy Smith and Fred Patacchia following closely behind Bryson with tubes at 3.12 and 3.09 seconds, respectively.

"Mundaka came through for us again this year with some small tubes which created some fierce competition," explains Nixon Europe's Director of Marketing, Henning Erlandsen. "After the burst of rides that made the leaderboard late in round two, we were stoked to see Royden come out on top."

Bryson joins the ranks of this year's WTA winners Ryan Hipwood (AUS) for riding the heaviest wave in May at Teahupoo and Taylor Knox (USA) for achieving the highest heat score at J-Bay. The WTA will reconvene on the North Shore of Oahu next month where the final prize for the year will be awarded to the overall Triple Crown winner.

Video content of each of the WTA stops and winners, including the top four contenders for the Mundaka event, are available to view on billabongpro.com.


Now in its second year, the Nixon WTA is a winner-take-all event, which awards a custom, limited edition Nixon timepiece at four different stops along the ASP World Tour. Each of the custom Nixon 51-30 tide watches feature a gunmetal finish, a custom-engraved WTA case back, and diamond baguette indices alternating with hand applied flags representing each of the four contest regions. These four one-of-a-kind timepieces are each valued at over $10,000 USD.

Nixon is taking it to another level......i am hooked

Diesel Goes Retro For Their New Line.

The latest additions to Diesel’s timepiece line, are completely inspired by the 80s. The variety of colored PU straps and backgrounds means you’ll probably be partial to at least one of these watches, if not all. Get a better at a few at the recently released retro line, below.

Introducing a couple of new models to their lineup, California based Nixon Watches have expanded tremendously since their beginnings in the late 90’s. For the Winter lineup, the popular 51-30 model gets a few new color treatments to its dials including Red, Blue, and Yellow while two new models are introduced. The R1G1 has a square frame with thinner leather straps and innovative dialing while The Private sports a more simple exterior and round frame. Included in the Winter lineup is the Time Teller in an all black colorway as well. Look for these to drop sometime in the near future at Nixon retailers such as Fieile
