Nooka Teamed-Up with DC Comics for this Line of Superhero Watches

— April 9, 2014 — Fashion
New York-based watch manufacturer Nooka has joined forces with the company that employs fictional crime-fighters, DC Comics, to create a line of superhero watches. DC Comics approved a fully licensed set of superhero-inspired watches to be made by Nooka, just in time for the summer season and its superhero blockbusters.

Some gentlemen like to stick to sophisticated, leather or gold watches to match their suits, but this line will probably attract more attention. The watches are brightly colored to replicate each Justice League character's uniform. The several different watches resemble Superman, The Flash, Batman, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman.

Unfortunately, they are only available in the Asian markets at the moment, but I'm sure with their success and the influence of crazy North American fandom that the watches will make their way overseas.
Trend Themes
1. Superhero Watch Trend - The rise of superhero watches in the fashion industry opens up opportunity for more brands to create licensed and exclusive lines of watches that cater to people's love for superhero characters.
2. Branded Collaborations Trend - Nooka's collaboration with DC Comics proves that working with established brands in different industries can lead to innovative and unique products that appeal to fans of both brands.
3. Geographic Expansion Trend - The watches are currently only available in Asian markets which presents an opportunity for Nooka to expand globally, tapping into the North American market to present the watches to audiences that appreciate the essence of superhero characters.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - Fashion brands can collaborate with comic book publishers to create licensed fashion pieces that appeal to comic book enthusiasts.
2. Entertainment - Collaborations with fashion brands and publishers can be a new avenue for comic book publishers to introduce and sell merchandise to fans.
3. Retail - The licensed superhero watch line creates an opportunity for both online and brick-and-mortar retailers to tap into a previously untapped market of superhero watch enthusiasts.
