Made from Recycled Skateboard Pieces: Nixon Rotolog RePly Watch

This this special edition of the Nixon Rotolog RePly has a band crafted of slivers of old skateboards. It's purely a style watch, not designed for surf, swim or hot tubs. You can find other Nixon Rotolog watches at the link below.

Update 9/29/08: Limited to 500 pieces worldwide, these one-of-a-kind, handcrafted watches are created through a labor intensive process which includes planing the boards top sheets down to .4mm. The plies, which include the boards graphics, are then individually die-cut and inlaid by hand into Nixon’s Rotolog and Chalet links. Case and link plating options include black, gunmetal, gold, antique silver, antique brass and blue metallic finishes and are topped off with custom engraved casebacks which bear the LTD logo, the athlete’s name, number in edition and the collection year.

Distribution is limited to select skate and snowboard specialty shops and all watches will be available November 15th.

Eco-Friendly Timepiece: Quiksilver Ray Watch

Quiksilver is releasing a strange concept watch and, most importantly, it’s an eco-friendly timepiece. The eco-friendliness refers to the fabrication process, which also leaves a carbon footprint.

It does seem to have borrowed Tokyoflash's flare for the unique. I wonder if the design is somehow restricted by the eco-friendly fabrication process.

In addition, the eco-friendly packaging is shipped by ship rather than by air (saving on CO₂ emissions) and is made of largely recyclable materials like wood, stainless steel, aluminum, and mineral glass.

The Ray has a limited run of 1,000 pieces.
