Itay Noy X-Ray Collection Watches

For 2011 boutique Israeli watch brand Itay Noy will debut a few models including the X-Ray collection. The dials of the watch simulate the look of an X-Ray, as though you are seeing the movement below. Transparent and skeletonized dials are very popular, and Itay Noy plays with this concept in a sort of graphic design manner. What is cool is that the graphics on the dial actually do represent what is under the dial on the movement. Funny enough, also new from Itay Noy for 2011 is another collection of watches that do actually have skeletonized dials.

Aside from the "x-ray" dial, you also have a subsidiary seconds hand and a brief view of part of the movement. Inside the watch is a Swiss manually wound mechanical movement. The case of the watch is in steel (not sure of the size yet), and has some interesting flaring around the edges where the screws hold it together. Check out the nicely textured leather strap. Certainly a solid collection from the often clever creative Israeli watch brand.

Deal On Limited Edition Itay Noy City Square Piazza di San Pietro Watch Collection, May 8 - 15 Only

This is a good deal from Israeli luxury watch maker Itay Noy, in celebration of the Pope's pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Israel, or course) that will take place this year from May 8th through the 15th. During this time, you can get one of five Itay Noy City Square Collection Piazza di San Pietro (Saint Peter's Square) watches for $2,500 down from the standard price of $3,300. This is a significant discount, and apt for the occasion. I'll be the first to say that it is ironic that an Israeli brand is celebrating a Catholic event, but that event will take place in Israel - so it's all good.

The Itay Noy City Square Collection of watches is pretty cool. They take an aerial view map of an area, and turn it into a Google Maps like image for the dial of the watch. Looking at the dial, you are reminded of the region all the time. Saint Peter's square in the Vatican City within Rome, is one of the most famous landmarks in the world, and makes a great center for a watch face given its relative radial symmetry. The watch itself is 42.4mm wide in stainless steel all hand assembled with a Swiss ETA 2824-2 automatic mechanical movement inside. The Itay Noy City Square Piazza di San Pietro is part of a limited edition of just 99 watches, so this special offer is made even better by that fact. The $2,500 price is available only during May 8 - 15, 2009. To learn more or get your watch visit Itay Noy here.
