From the press
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.{{cite news |last1=Clerizo |first1=Michael |title=The World's Weirdest Watches: Good Luck Telling the Time A new breed of artful timepieces make it intentionally tricky to figure out the time. |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-worlds-most-irritating-watch-only-42-200-1516209909 |accessdate=22 May 2019 |publisher=Wall Street Journal |date=17 January 2018}}
