The Yankees Have Won!


Yankee fans all over are rejoicing the victory after winning their 27th World Series, beating the Phillies 7-3 in Game 6. If you are a New York Yankee fan then this is the watch for you. Well for 100 of you since this watch is a limited edition of a mere 100 pieces worldwide. The watch created by a new Swiss company N.O.A ,an acronym for None of the Above, was commissioned by Joe Girardi, (Yankees Manager and official spokesperson for N.O.A. Hamilton Jewelers ), and the New York Yankess back in February when NOA partnered with Hamilton Jewelers for their most recent watch fair.

Joe Girardi, former MLB catcher and current New York Yankees Manager wears his NOA timepiece at a recent press conference.

On the white dial, each watch has the Yankees emblem , a copy of Joe Girardi's autograph as well as individual number of the watch. The watch comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Joe Girardi himself. The watch comes complete with box, warranty card, instructions and certificate of authenticity. The 40mm case is stainless steel
40mm stainless steel case. The Crown is screw down thereby increasing the water resistance to 10 ATM/330 feet. The watch dial is protected by scratch resistant sapphire crystal. When I last checked the going rate for one of these watches was around $3,000, but with the Yankees win this watch has just become more desirable, and more collectible.

Although N.O.A is a relatively new company introducing its first collection in 2003, the origins of it date back to the late 19th century when Swiss businessman ,Federico Ruefly, established two factories, " Ruefli Federico Spa" in Coma, Italy and "Fabrique de Boites des Montres SA" in Chiasso, Switzerland. The factories manufactured brass and stainless steel watch components for the Swiss and Italian market. In 1922 his four daughters joined him when he moved the factory to Coma, Italy. The new N.O.A company has merged Italian style and Swiss Watch making expertise to create functional style. A watch that works for you.

Giuliano Mazzuoli Manometro Sport Men's Automatic Watch Titanium Black Carbon Fiber Dial on Black Rubber Strap 7470S0C-510FABL

Can you handle this watch? It screams tires on a hot road and tangy scent of gasoline. That said, this is one of my favourite Giuliano Mazzuoli watches, and to think he started out manufacturing notebooks and pens... (click here to learn more about Giuliano Mazzuoli)

This watch exudes unbridled energy from its black carbon fiber case and dial. Black carbon fiber dates back to 1879, when
Thomas Edison used carbon fibers as filaments for early light bulbs. His fibers lacked the tensile strength of today's carbon fibers, their considerable tolerance to heat made these fibers ideal for conducting electric. Edison’s carbon fibers were comprised off cellulose-based materials like cotton or bamboo.

Today, Caron Fiber is made from heated plyacrylonitrile during an extremely intensive and complicated heating process. Known as the wonder polymer, Carbon Fiber is resilient, shock absorbent as well as being stronger and lighter than steel.

The case back is crafted from, titanium - extremely light weight and strong. The bracelet is black rubber, which provides extreme flexibility.

The movement is an automatic caliber: ETA 2824/2 with a shockproof system. This allows for maximum movement protection during high impact activities. As the watch is automatic, the movement is powered by the swinging motion of ones arm.
As you can see the crown is placed at the 2 'o'clock position, a signature mark of the Giuliano Mazzuoli Manometro.
