This is the essence of luxury. It creates emotion and lasts.

That is what I believe. I prefer slow food, slow thinking, and manufacture-based people to the artificial and synthetic. I prefer analog to digital, although I do occasionally dabble in digital. I always have a book and a Kindle with me. I love the possibilities of technology but also the tactile connection to old objects.

Are you familiar with Omega Constellation Replica?

Yes. Yes. I am not just interested in being a model for a company, but I also want to understand the process of making things. This is what has always fascinated me. The first watch mechanism that I truly understood was an old fob-watch I found in a market a long, long time ago. I was in France on vacation when I realized that I had learned the craft of watchmaking. I loved to build things. I enjoyed taking apart the parts and putting them together again.www.trustytimenoob.com It was fun to understand how they worked. It's almost like a computer when you open the car bonnet. While I love the idea of owning an MG or an old Jaguar and being able tinker with them, it is not something that I would want. Omega Constellation Replica was an extraordinary experience. MywifeSophie, and I, went to the factory and were astonished by the craftsmanship and heritage, as well as the fact that so many people had lived there for such a long time.

Why did you decide to visit the factory?

It was crucial for me as an ambassador to be able to see the real meaning of what I had on my wrist. Not just a luxury brand. It was important to understand the amazing synchronicity I didn't know existed. Omega Constellation Replica's SIHH stand - which I visited this summer - was all about understanding craftsmanship and the people who work on every aspect of the watches, from the straps to complications. Diagrams of technical components were displayed and people could explain how they all work between engineering developments and the product we wear.Patek Philippe Replica Watches It was amazing to be so close to the action and to see it all work on such a small scale. The balance wheels are so delicate and move so quickly. It is amazing how organic the pulse appears.

Watchmaking, like many other crafts, is more difficult today than it was in the past. Are you concerned that beautifulwatches are less affordable due to this and the associated costs?

This made me feel uncomfortable and I spoke with the staff at the boutique. They explained that price is a sliding scale. This is because the watch will be passed down to the next generation.

Acting and watchmaking share a similar history with all the work behind-the-scenes, creating performance or objects that can - and often will - outlive their creator.

It's completely - it's strange, isn't? The time and effort you invest in creating a character is well worth it. This is because, if performed well, your work will be remembered by future generations. It's not like a fleeting moment in your personal life. It's not about buying a watch to match your outfit. This is an investment in the future.
