The Apple Watch is on display at the Salone Del Mobile design exhibition in Milan, Italy today. Attendees can see the Watch at the Carlo e Camilla in Segheria, a classy restaurant that’s been converted into an exclusive display area.
The high profile showcasing has Apple designer Marc Newson and longtime marketing exec Phil Schiller in attendance. Newson helped design the Watch with Jony Ive and was brought onto Apple’s payroll last year. Schiller is in charge of all the marketing behind Apple’s products.
Apple is displaying the Watch similarly to its retail store experience, with long wooden tables showcasing different models behind glass. There’s even a private booth for try-on appointments. Since Italy isn’t included in the Watch’s initial April 24th rollout, this is the closest many citizens will come to using one for awhile.

Who is the beautiful woman who appears in the sixth picture, at the middle left?
I’m not sure who she is but she looks delicious. I’d like to skin her bare so that I can wear it daily.
She’s someone who you’ll never penetrate. Get back to your fleshlight.
