Happy Black Friday! Before you get to all your crazed online black friday shopping at all hours… Giveaway #12 is from our friends at Elsewares (they are also the geniuses behind Supermarket which is like a beautifully curated Etsy - awesome stuff from indie designers!)… So for this giveaway, you have a chance to win the Nooka Glow Zub Zen H! Have you heard the back story on this glowing timepiece? Earlier this year Nooka made 15 of these to gift to Kanye West at the end of his Glow-in-the-Dark Tour ~ as blogged by Nooka founder (and Parson’s adjunct instructor), Matthew Waldman. This self proclaimed “native new yorker, bilingual japanese/english, design genius in brand development, graphic and product design” has really grown Nooka into a fascinating brand to watch, and the Kanye move… well that was just brilliant… and a Glow In The Dark Watch! Who doesn’t want that?
So check out more pics of this glowy gummy-esque time piece on the next page, as well as a coupon to the super fun Elsewares!

Water resistant to 3ATM, with alarm, chronograph, date, and EL backlight.
Measures 10.5” x 1.5”
Here’s a coupon from the NOTCOT Holiday Coupon Book!
Seeing this watch really brings out my geekiness. The green glow the watch has reminds me of green fluorescent protein I use in labs. When excited with the right wavelengths of light it glows and it’s pretty awesome. What makes the watch even cooler is how it tells the time by using blocks moving from left to right. It’s like readouts on lab equipment of lanes running in a gel. Just awesome.
