Making his own watches from his workshop in Tel-Aviv in Israel since 2000, Itay Noy has become an established name in the world of made-to-order timepieces. Launched at Baselworld in 2015, Itay Noy debuted the Itay Noy Part Time as a limited edition collection of 4 colorways split with 24 pieces in each collection. However, a fifth colorway was added later with a two-tone blue and black dial, which is what we have here.. While it does feature a large 44.6mm stainless steel construction boasting a rather unique design with screw-bar lugs, six exposed screws across its thin brushed steel bezel and a winding crown at 4 o’clock, its dynamic dial is its most unusual feature. Known by Itay Noy as a dynamic dial, the two dial halves only operate from 6am to 6pm and 6pm to 6am and feature a sun and moon disc at nine and three o’clock to indicate which timeframe of the watch is “active”. When the yellow sun at the 9 o’clock position is out, the time shown in the aperture above it is the daytime and when the moon at 3 o’clock is shown the time in the aperture above it is night-time. The display is completed by a central minute dial, an extra hours dial at 5 o’clock, and a subsidiary seconds dial at 7 o’clock completes the timing indicators.

Watch is presented in like-new condition. The case shows virtually no surface wear on its surfaces, and there are no major abrasions. The strap shows light signs of use and comes with the original double-folding deployant clasp.

A visually distinctive timepiece that displays the time in a fun and unique way, time and time again it is independent watchmakers like Itay Noy that create new and unusual ways to show the time and inject some fun into the watchmaking industry.
