From the press[edit]
The Style section of the Wall Street Journal described Noy's Part Time Sun and Moon watch as "an exercise in experimentation. The enigmatic dial features five windows: a central one showing minutes, surrounded by four additional apertures indicating seconds, hours, day (with a sun) and night (with a moon)." Noy argues that complex design enhances the wearer's engagement with his watch.[3]
