The latest Time Piece I’ve come across is by Nixon. For about eight years, Nixon has been creating skater, surfer, and boarder inspired accessories. I am neither, but I know a good watch when I see one. Right now watches are going with a brighter look, better feel, and unique way for telling time. High-end Time Pieces are looking less like designer watches and more like graphic designer watches.

No, this is not your average wrist apparel. And it is not as complicated as it looks. This is a ZUB ZOT model of the Mathew Waldman’s Nooka™ brand of watches. Nooka timepieces force you look at the face time differently and perhaps in a easier way. Each time piece has a different variation of how to declare the actual time. Nooka timepieces will challenge you at first, but once you see past the dots or bars it will be as easy as pie. At the very least you’ll have a conversation piece. These watches are innovative (and that is an understatement), but what else would you expect from an Artist.

An artist from the UK, residing in East London has been doing his thing for about 15 years under the name INSA – a four letter word he made up for him self back then. Although he doesn’t focus on graffiti too much, he feels it was an “important part of [his] life and a major influence on how [he sees] the world” and chose to keep the anonymity. If you are ever in London , you might catch a glimpse of a tear drop flame head sprayed on a wall or a train. He uses images of women’s high heel shoes to mostly symbolize in his most notable fetish pieces.
INSA has done work on almost everything. He has painted cars, vans, whole train cars, walls (of course), people, and he has even been invited to Sweden to sculpt the famous Ice Hotel. To add to his adventurous escapades, he plans to do some painting in Brazil in the new year.
After several years of painting heels on walls, INSA partnered up with fashion guru Ruth Shaw to make three leather heels with INSA inspired patterns. The shoes have been a big deal to bloggers, collectors and shoe connoisseurs.
Clearly INSA has become a graffiti culture mogul. In all his fame, he chose to remain anonymous, as the name INSA is really ‘just a creative evolution from
writing [his] name, but you can try your best to make out his blurred face on his blog, www.insaland.com/blog , or just catch him at any upcoming show.
