New York Subway Vignelli Diagram Watch

Meet me where the "I love Design" train meets the "I love New York" train with this unique watch that celebrates legendary designer Massimo Vignelli. Mr. Vignelli created these modernist visual diagrams that were used throughout the New York Subway System from 1972 to 1979.

These are the last of our Vignelli watches with our retired 38mm bezel and battery operated Japanese movement. Our new Vignelli watches have the updated 40mm stainless steel bezel and battery operated Swiss movement that our baseball watches have.

Massimo Vignelli

The subway map design by Massimo Vignelli was published from 1972-1978. He was invited to recreate the map after successfully installing new subway signage. Both projects feature the Helvetica font, which, along with his map, have become modern design icons. A copy hangs in the NY MOMA and the Met. This colorful, abstract map, or "diagram," as described by Massimo, was originally inspired by Henry Beck's 1933 London Underground map. In 2011, Massimo again teamed up with the NY MTA to offer riders The Weekend, an interactive digital map based on his original design.
