Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:16,470 --> 00:00:18,432
(sirens wailing distantly)
2
00:00:19,342 --> 00:00:21,022
(heavy traffic noise)
3
00:00:28,476 --> 00:00:30,726
I've always been
really intrigued by watches.
4
00:00:30,726 --> 00:00:32,976
At first, it was a cool
way of telling time
5
00:00:32,976 --> 00:00:35,166
and then my Mom, she
had mentioned something
6
00:00:35,166 --> 00:00:38,016
about, you know, tell-tale
sign of a businessman,
7
00:00:38,016 --> 00:00:40,266
good shoes, good suit,
and a good watch.
8
00:00:40,266 --> 00:00:41,916
Watches were something else,
you know?
9
00:00:41,916 --> 00:00:43,666
I couldn't always
afford the watch.
10
00:00:44,526 --> 00:00:47,496
I came into a mindset
of saying if I wanted it
11
00:00:47,496 --> 00:00:49,596
and I couldn't afford it,
I would make it.
12
00:00:51,867 --> 00:00:54,617
(train chugging)
13
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,646
(train whistle blowing)
14
00:01:05,646 --> 00:01:08,256
How do you
measure a year?
15
00:01:08,256 --> 00:01:10,446
How do you measure a life?
16
00:01:10,446 --> 00:01:11,559
What comes to mind?
17
00:01:13,295 --> 00:01:18,009
Seasons, political
events, a global pandemic?
18
00:01:23,208 --> 00:01:25,320
Or do you think of
calendars, months, and dates?
19
00:01:27,789 --> 00:01:30,176
(gentle string music)
20
00:01:30,176 --> 00:01:32,259
Horologists study time.
21
00:01:33,306 --> 00:01:35,795
Their job lies in the
calculation, measurement,
22
00:01:35,795 --> 00:01:37,476
and the sure prediction
of time passing
23
00:01:37,476 --> 00:01:39,279
in hours, minutes, and seconds.
24
00:01:53,076 --> 00:01:55,929
Our ancestors kept time
by measuring the seasons.
25
00:01:58,265 --> 00:02:01,149
Dates of eclipses and the
movement of celestial bodies.
26
00:02:04,626 --> 00:02:07,026
Yet none of these
things truly indicate
27
00:02:07,026 --> 00:02:08,859
the inevitable passing of time.
28
00:02:20,676 --> 00:02:22,296
From a baby's first breath
29
00:02:22,296 --> 00:02:24,339
to the last beat of
a loved one's heart.
30
00:02:25,266 --> 00:02:26,856
From the moment
you are present tense
31
00:02:26,856 --> 00:02:28,359
to the moment you are past.
32
00:02:29,786 --> 00:02:32,699
The more we study time, the
more ethereal it becomes.
33
00:02:34,805 --> 00:02:37,539
To be alive is to
feel time passing.
34
00:02:40,746 --> 00:02:43,506
We humans know
that one day we will die
35
00:02:43,506 --> 00:02:46,206
and against this knowledge
comes the need for purpose.
36
00:02:47,436 --> 00:02:49,336
How will we use the
time we are given?
37
00:02:51,576 --> 00:02:54,336
This is the story of
the rebels of horology,
38
00:02:54,336 --> 00:02:57,726
who push the boundaries of
the timekeeping invention
39
00:02:57,726 --> 00:02:59,346
and use time to create meaning
40
00:02:59,346 --> 00:03:00,896
from the pieces of their lives.
41
00:03:07,348 --> 00:03:12,348
(watches ticking)
(heart beating)
42
00:03:22,396 --> 00:03:24,076
(metal shutter opening)
43
00:03:34,829 --> 00:03:35,949
(door opening)
44
00:03:38,646 --> 00:03:40,716
I definitely feel
like an anomaly
45
00:03:40,716 --> 00:03:42,849
in this world we live in.
46
00:03:43,805 --> 00:03:45,066
Early on, I'd describe myself
47
00:03:45,066 --> 00:03:47,139
as a mechanic from
the 17th century.
48
00:03:49,026 --> 00:03:51,426
When clients come
into this workshop,
49
00:03:51,426 --> 00:03:54,606
they often feel as though
they've stepped into another era
50
00:03:54,606 --> 00:03:56,829
and it definitely
feels that way.
51
00:03:58,146 --> 00:04:01,269
The work that I do
is all from eras past.
52
00:04:05,620 --> 00:04:08,203
(gentle music)
53
00:04:29,586 --> 00:04:32,106
The displays of all
of my special things
54
00:04:32,106 --> 00:04:36,666
were under my bed,
my kind of safe space.
55
00:04:36,666 --> 00:04:39,369
It was kind of dark, very quiet.
56
00:04:40,716 --> 00:04:44,316
I hung little
mirrors from strings.
57
00:04:44,316 --> 00:04:45,491
Those would catch the light
58
00:04:45,516 --> 00:04:47,516
and you'd see little
reflections and things.
59
00:04:48,546 --> 00:04:51,876
I had a large collection
of music boxes, magnets,
60
00:04:51,876 --> 00:04:55,386
compasses, mirrors, old springs.
61
00:04:55,386 --> 00:04:58,806
You know, anything I found,
a little sparkly thing.
62
00:04:58,806 --> 00:05:00,369
I would just keep those things.
63
00:05:01,916 --> 00:05:02,921
(music box chiming)
64
00:05:03,041 --> 00:05:08,741
Music boxes, they clearly have
a very delicate set of pieces,
65
00:05:08,766 --> 00:05:12,759
and there's very specific
rules that make them work.
66
00:05:14,766 --> 00:05:17,646
Something that, every
time, it was repeatable,
67
00:05:17,646 --> 00:05:19,236
it was predictable.
68
00:05:19,236 --> 00:05:21,091
And, you know,
when I wound it up,
69
00:05:21,116 --> 00:05:24,186
as long as I
didn't impose on it
70
00:05:24,186 --> 00:05:28,176
or break any of the rules, it
always functioned the same.
71
00:05:28,176 --> 00:05:30,759
And that to me had
a lot of significance.
72
00:05:36,396 --> 00:05:39,789
My mother suffers
from mental illness.
73
00:05:41,886 --> 00:05:43,359
That made things hard.
74
00:05:45,876 --> 00:05:48,966
There was a lot going
on within my home
75
00:05:48,966 --> 00:05:51,669
and my family dynamic that
I didn't really understand.
76
00:05:52,986 --> 00:05:57,249
There wasn't much
that I knew for certain.
77
00:06:00,216 --> 00:06:03,936
That's why the mechanical things
made much more sense to me.
78
00:06:03,936 --> 00:06:05,976
They were predictable.
79
00:06:05,976 --> 00:06:10,056
They basically never failed
to repeat the same thing
80
00:06:10,056 --> 00:06:15,056
as long as all the components
and pieces were in place.
81
00:06:15,096 --> 00:06:16,496
But people aren't like that.
82
00:06:17,796 --> 00:06:19,246
And my home wasn't like that.
83
00:06:20,585 --> 00:06:22,879
(lathe scraping)
84
00:06:23,736 --> 00:06:26,946
I think one thing about the
work that I do and horology
85
00:06:26,946 --> 00:06:28,926
is, it takes grit.
86
00:06:28,926 --> 00:06:32,196
It is probably one of
the most difficult things
87
00:06:32,196 --> 00:06:34,236
that you can decide
to do with your life,
88
00:06:34,236 --> 00:06:37,686
and if I didn't have
all of my childhood
89
00:06:37,686 --> 00:06:41,019
to kind of prepare me, I don't
think I would've made it.
90
00:06:42,116 --> 00:06:43,796
(manual machine
winding)
91
00:06:44,705 --> 00:06:46,385
(distant pulsing
machine sound)
92
00:06:51,516 --> 00:06:53,199
(footsteps on forest floor)
93
00:06:57,816 --> 00:07:00,116
I feel very free
in the forest.
94
00:07:01,146 --> 00:07:03,246
When I was three,
four years old,
95
00:07:03,246 --> 00:07:05,109
I used to come with my parents.
96
00:07:06,396 --> 00:07:09,789
The nature gives you quietness.
97
00:07:11,046 --> 00:07:14,569
When you are ready to
explode, you come here
98
00:07:14,569 --> 00:07:16,069
and you cool down.
99
00:07:19,276 --> 00:07:20,871
(distant traffic)
100
00:07:30,806 --> 00:07:33,704
(crowd conversations)
101
00:07:39,916 --> 00:07:41,783
Hi Philippe, happy birthday.
102
00:07:42,004 --> 00:07:43,004
Thank you.
103
00:07:43,396 --> 00:07:44,831
Hello, young man.
104
00:07:48,956 --> 00:07:52,626
It goes too fast.
Time goes too fast.
105
00:07:54,456 --> 00:07:58,728
Suddenly you are here at
71, you went too fast.
106
00:08:00,721 --> 00:08:05,721
(fireworks crackling)
(crowd cheering)
107
00:08:07,694 --> 00:08:10,444
(wind whistling)
108
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:20,469
I was born here,
in the Vallee de Joux.
109
00:08:20,469 --> 00:08:23,649
We have a lot of space,
a lot of forest.
110
00:08:25,386 --> 00:08:28,179
You live with the
nature and the season.
111
00:08:30,756 --> 00:08:33,818
Watchmaking arrived
here around 1750.
112
00:08:35,226 --> 00:08:37,025
You have to
realise that in winter,
113
00:08:37,025 --> 00:08:38,976
the Vallee de Joux
was really closed.
114
00:08:38,976 --> 00:08:41,859
So they were stuck in
the snow in the winter.
115
00:08:42,936 --> 00:08:45,096
Beside milking the
cow morning and night,
116
00:08:45,096 --> 00:08:46,159
was nothing to do.
117
00:08:48,096 --> 00:08:50,915
And they organized,
little by little,
118
00:08:50,915 --> 00:08:53,649
in every farm you
had a workshop.
119
00:08:54,756 --> 00:08:56,286
That's why we say Vallee de Joux
120
00:08:56,286 --> 00:08:58,779
is a cradle of
complicated watchmaking.
121
00:08:59,988 --> 00:09:02,571
(gentle music)
122
00:09:07,086 --> 00:09:08,919
I never invented anything.
123
00:09:10,536 --> 00:09:13,959
I took inspiration from
what was done before me.
124
00:09:16,501 --> 00:09:21,326
My idea was to carry this
nice way of making watches.
125
00:09:27,846 --> 00:09:29,246
I think he's the greatest,
126
00:09:30,126 --> 00:09:35,126
if you want to meet 350 years
of Swiss watchmaking art,
127
00:09:35,286 --> 00:09:37,956
you just have to
meet Philippe Dufour.
128
00:09:37,956 --> 00:09:41,556
He's the accumulation of
350 years of knowledge.
129
00:09:41,556 --> 00:09:45,636
He works in the quality,
in the speed,
130
00:09:45,636 --> 00:09:47,379
like in the 16th century.
131
00:09:48,516 --> 00:09:53,516
Who can afford to work today
like in the 16th century?
132
00:09:54,186 --> 00:09:56,556
I mean, it's just genius.
133
00:09:56,556 --> 00:09:58,869
There's only one.
It's Philippe Dufour.
134
00:09:59,996 --> 00:10:02,376
At the beginning,
when I explained
135
00:10:02,376 --> 00:10:03,936
to some watchmaker friends
136
00:10:03,936 --> 00:10:05,646
what I was planning to do,
137
00:10:05,646 --> 00:10:07,446
they were laughing at me,
saying,
138
00:10:07,446 --> 00:10:09,966
we don't do that anymore,
polish by hand
139
00:10:09,966 --> 00:10:11,886
and beveling,
we don't do that anymore.
140
00:10:11,886 --> 00:10:13,986
In factory now, it's
machine and everything.
141
00:10:13,986 --> 00:10:15,956
I said, no, no, this is my line.
142
00:10:17,307 --> 00:10:18,681
(gentle music)
143
00:10:28,236 --> 00:10:32,592
To make one watch, it's
about 2,000 hours. One year.
144
00:10:36,726 --> 00:10:39,759
I always say, the cemetery
are full of secret.
145
00:10:41,496 --> 00:10:44,496
Every time you have
a retired watchmaker,
146
00:10:44,496 --> 00:10:48,186
it's a page of the watchmaking
book which are missing.
147
00:10:48,186 --> 00:10:50,019
And you will never replace it.
148
00:10:52,196 --> 00:10:53,828
(music continues)
149
00:10:57,594 --> 00:11:01,177
(sirens wailing distantly)
150
00:11:03,257 --> 00:11:04,772
(gentle music)
151
00:11:15,396 --> 00:11:17,796
I was a strange child.
152
00:11:17,796 --> 00:11:20,646
People thought I was slow
because I didn't speak
153
00:11:20,646 --> 00:11:23,226
and it's primarily because I
wasn't really big on people,
154
00:11:23,226 --> 00:11:24,996
I didn't like people,
I like to observe,
155
00:11:24,996 --> 00:11:27,636
but I didn't trust people
at a very young age.
156
00:11:27,636 --> 00:11:29,649
And it's because
of what I had seen.
157
00:11:30,806 --> 00:11:32,006
(traffic noise)
158
00:11:34,026 --> 00:11:38,000
As a child,
your situation is what it is.
159
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:39,219
That's all you know.
160
00:11:40,476 --> 00:11:41,676
(traffic noise)
161
00:11:43,731 --> 00:11:45,634
(music continues)
162
00:11:53,706 --> 00:11:56,106
He stood up,
12 months old,
163
00:11:56,106 --> 00:11:59,886
and he drew from
one end of the wall
164
00:11:59,886 --> 00:12:01,926
to the other end of the wall.
165
00:12:01,926 --> 00:12:05,439
And I thought, somebody's
gonna get a spanking, but,
166
00:12:06,426 --> 00:12:09,336
when I looked at it, I thought,
167
00:12:09,336 --> 00:12:11,616
you know,
there's something here.
168
00:12:11,616 --> 00:12:15,039
There's something about
this child that's special.
169
00:12:16,056 --> 00:12:20,826
Very quiet, very focused,
always thinking,
170
00:12:20,826 --> 00:12:22,899
trying to figure out things.
171
00:12:27,096 --> 00:12:28,236
I was too
young to remember
172
00:12:28,236 --> 00:12:30,216
a lot of the struggle
that my Mom went through
173
00:12:30,216 --> 00:12:32,559
but I saw it and I
remember certain things.
174
00:12:33,457 --> 00:12:35,706
(flames crackling)
175
00:12:35,716 --> 00:12:36,996
I think the first time
we were homeless
176
00:12:37,010 --> 00:12:39,966
was 'cause somebody
burned down our house.
177
00:12:39,966 --> 00:12:41,150
With us in it.
178
00:12:43,656 --> 00:12:46,056
We were going through a lot,
you know,
179
00:12:46,056 --> 00:12:50,949
homelessness here and there,
and it was just a lot.
180
00:12:51,126 --> 00:12:52,126
(fireball)
181
00:12:55,073 --> 00:12:56,401
(tense music)
182
00:12:58,415 --> 00:12:59,736
I mean, racism
was sort of
183
00:12:59,736 --> 00:13:02,186
one of those regular things
growing up, you know.
184
00:13:05,916 --> 00:13:07,446
When we lived in our car,
my Mom slept
185
00:13:07,446 --> 00:13:09,596
on top of my brother
and I to keep us warm.
186
00:13:10,716 --> 00:13:13,176
And my Mom made it digestible
187
00:13:13,176 --> 00:13:14,706
because she always made us feel
188
00:13:14,716 --> 00:13:18,649
like we were taken
care of and protected.
189
00:13:22,710 --> 00:13:24,491
(music continues)
190
00:13:29,796 --> 00:13:32,616
In those times, I did
what a mother had to do
191
00:13:32,616 --> 00:13:34,836
to take care of my kids.
192
00:13:34,836 --> 00:13:38,346
It's okay, you know,
because they ate.
193
00:13:38,346 --> 00:13:41,046
I didn't eat, but they ate, so.
194
00:13:41,046 --> 00:13:43,326
You know,
and then we played games.
195
00:13:43,326 --> 00:13:45,696
Everything was a game because
196
00:13:45,696 --> 00:13:48,879
all I wanted them
to do was smile.
197
00:13:50,586 --> 00:13:54,096
Raising an African American
boy to try to be a man,
198
00:13:54,096 --> 00:13:56,165
it's really hard.
199
00:13:56,165 --> 00:13:59,229
I wanted better for my
boys, I wanted more.
200
00:14:02,346 --> 00:14:04,446
Intelligence and
intellect was not readily
201
00:14:04,446 --> 00:14:07,086
or normally associated
with black skin.
202
00:14:07,086 --> 00:14:09,846
It pissed me off then, it
pisses me off to this day.
203
00:14:09,846 --> 00:14:14,466
And I basically said I'm
going to be an engineer
204
00:14:14,466 --> 00:14:15,669
out of rebellion.
205
00:14:17,166 --> 00:14:18,819
Rebellion against
the stereotype.
206
00:14:22,356 --> 00:14:25,086
I was very adept at playing
chess when I was a child.
207
00:14:25,086 --> 00:14:28,569
That's how I understand
life strategy and people.
208
00:14:30,096 --> 00:14:32,646
What does this move get to
this move, to this move?
209
00:14:36,665 --> 00:14:38,796
I live in the future,
never the present,
210
00:14:38,796 --> 00:14:40,446
but I realise I have
to live in the present
211
00:14:40,446 --> 00:14:41,603
to get to the future.
212
00:14:45,035 --> 00:14:47,618
(gentle music)
213
00:15:05,036 --> 00:15:07,052
Although in some sense
I create time
214
00:15:07,348 --> 00:15:10,081
I've never really felt
the notion of time.
215
00:15:11,196 --> 00:15:13,729
Since I was little it's
been like that.
216
00:15:14,024 --> 00:15:15,890
Time passed without passing.
217
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:21,771
My mind was elsewhere,
218
00:15:22,232 --> 00:15:23,592
always elsewhere.
219
00:15:25,676 --> 00:15:27,276
That hasn't changed.
220
00:15:27,549 --> 00:15:31,130
The philosophy in my watches
is the same one I live by.
221
00:15:31,556 --> 00:15:34,111
To live in the present moment.
222
00:15:35,396 --> 00:15:36,692
(gentle music)
223
00:15:52,196 --> 00:15:55,855
My life started aged 30
with Eveline
224
00:15:56,314 --> 00:15:59,492
because, until then,
I was surviving
225
00:16:00,876 --> 00:16:03,543
The years were going by
without me living.
226
00:16:05,716 --> 00:16:08,118
That's how I met Eveline,
through my work
227
00:16:08,396 --> 00:16:13,117
because she was working for a
big watchmaking firm in Geneva
228
00:16:15,737 --> 00:16:19,955
And there was something
which can't be touched,
229
00:16:20,026 --> 00:16:21,340
can't be seen,
230
00:16:21,365 --> 00:16:22,805
can't be imagined.
231
00:16:24,219 --> 00:16:26,019
So, what's happening today?
232
00:16:29,556 --> 00:16:32,275
This is what I'm going to say
233
00:16:35,832 --> 00:16:39,399
Eveline, will you marry me?
234
00:16:40,902 --> 00:16:45,380
She was stable, unlike me,
who was completely unstable.
235
00:16:46,893 --> 00:16:49,586
I was missing that stability.
236
00:16:49,935 --> 00:16:54,009
And she was missing the
instability I had.
237
00:16:55,396 --> 00:16:58,825
I think everyone awakens
something in others.
238
00:17:00,196 --> 00:17:01,781
Yes, yes!
239
00:17:04,144 --> 00:17:05,652
Say it louder!
240
00:17:07,116 --> 00:17:08,116
Louder!
241
00:17:10,728 --> 00:17:12,259
Yes, yes!
242
00:17:13,955 --> 00:17:15,455
Yes!
243
00:17:15,761 --> 00:17:18,511
(crowd cheering)
244
00:17:20,836 --> 00:17:25,330
We knew immediately that
it was forever,
245
00:17:25,356 --> 00:17:27,839
because it was forever.
246
00:17:29,824 --> 00:17:32,158
And four years later,
we were married.
247
00:17:37,276 --> 00:17:40,430
Unfortunately, five years
after meeting,
248
00:17:40,796 --> 00:17:44,381
we found out she had cancer.
249
00:17:50,753 --> 00:17:55,753
(glass smashing)
(metal clattering)
250
00:17:56,909 --> 00:17:59,406
I had a very,
very bad accident
251
00:17:59,406 --> 00:18:00,966
when I was 22 years old.
252
00:18:00,966 --> 00:18:04,416
Hit the curb, rolled over,
I was thrown out of the Jeep
253
00:18:04,416 --> 00:18:08,466
and the Jeep, three tonnes,
ended its roll on my back.
254
00:18:08,466 --> 00:18:09,576
I should've died.
255
00:18:09,576 --> 00:18:13,026
There is no reason at
all I should be alive.
256
00:18:13,026 --> 00:18:15,276
And I always remember
when, many hours later,
257
00:18:15,276 --> 00:18:17,406
I arrived at the hospital
258
00:18:17,406 --> 00:18:18,456
and my parents were there
259
00:18:18,456 --> 00:18:19,806
and that's when I
broke down crying,
260
00:18:19,806 --> 00:18:21,126
up till then, I was not.
261
00:18:21,126 --> 00:18:25,926
And... Mum just looked
at me and she said,
262
00:18:25,926 --> 00:18:26,976
"It was not your time."
263
00:18:28,596 --> 00:18:29,870
It was not time.
264
00:18:30,464 --> 00:18:33,047
(gentle music)
265
00:18:39,006 --> 00:18:42,039
My childhood lasted an eternity.
266
00:18:43,626 --> 00:18:46,926
I was a very shy boy.
267
00:18:46,926 --> 00:18:48,756
I didn't know how to interact
268
00:18:48,756 --> 00:18:51,159
with people around me,
of my age.
269
00:18:52,416 --> 00:18:54,396
I'm an only child.
270
00:18:54,396 --> 00:18:56,196
I was always with
adults when I was a kid,
271
00:18:56,196 --> 00:18:57,696
I didn't want to be with them.
272
00:18:58,656 --> 00:19:00,496
I was a super creative kid
273
00:19:01,566 --> 00:19:02,746
who didn't fit in
274
00:19:03,756 --> 00:19:05,679
and desperately
wanted to fit in.
275
00:19:06,610 --> 00:19:08,050
(reflective music)
276
00:19:10,206 --> 00:19:12,456
My father was of that upbringing
277
00:19:12,456 --> 00:19:16,269
where children are there
to be seen but not heard.
278
00:19:17,916 --> 00:19:19,836
He would never do
anything with me.
279
00:19:19,836 --> 00:19:24,276
He wouldn't talk to me, he
wouldn't ask me questions,
280
00:19:24,276 --> 00:19:25,826
he wouldn't tell me,
"I love you."
281
00:19:29,736 --> 00:19:33,426
And I was
overachieving all the time
282
00:19:33,426 --> 00:19:36,459
to get his attention,
and I never got it.
283
00:19:37,974 --> 00:19:39,774
(reflective music
continues)
284
00:19:43,986 --> 00:19:47,739
Then he passed away on the
31st of December, 2001.
285
00:19:49,656 --> 00:19:51,916
And I cried 12 seconds
286
00:19:53,046 --> 00:19:54,996
because I was a big boy,
I was successful,
287
00:19:54,996 --> 00:19:56,316
I was making money.
288
00:19:56,316 --> 00:19:59,409
I was where I'd never even
expected to be in my life.
289
00:20:01,926 --> 00:20:04,866
I was about to enter a
big multinational company
290
00:20:04,866 --> 00:20:07,296
like my Dad, I was
interviewing with Nestlé,
291
00:20:07,296 --> 00:20:09,246
I was interviewing at
Procter & Gamble.
292
00:20:09,246 --> 00:20:11,406
That's what normal people do,
293
00:20:11,406 --> 00:20:15,426
you get a career and
you work your butt off
294
00:20:15,426 --> 00:20:17,649
to try and get that
next promotion.
295
00:20:18,558 --> 00:20:22,021
And luckily for me, I
fell into watchmaking.
296
00:20:24,509 --> 00:20:26,562
Watchmaking saved my life.
297
00:20:26,716 --> 00:20:28,396
(surging pensive music)
298
00:20:42,956 --> 00:20:44,156
Horologists study and work
299
00:20:44,166 --> 00:20:46,389
with mechanisms
that catalogue time.
300
00:20:47,496 --> 00:20:51,876
We first discovered time
through looking at the sky.
301
00:20:51,876 --> 00:20:54,699
The sun, the moon, the
movements of celestial bodies.
302
00:20:56,646 --> 00:20:58,266
So you have your first sun dial,
303
00:20:58,266 --> 00:20:59,646
just a stick in the ground,
304
00:20:59,646 --> 00:21:01,536
that you could
observe the shadow
305
00:21:01,536 --> 00:21:03,156
as the sun went
across the horizon.
306
00:21:03,156 --> 00:21:05,496
And that's where that
dial idea comes from,
307
00:21:05,496 --> 00:21:07,986
this is the rotation
of the Earth's axis.
308
00:21:07,986 --> 00:21:09,186
You're watching
that shadow fall,
309
00:21:09,186 --> 00:21:10,566
it's falling in a circle.
310
00:21:10,566 --> 00:21:13,746
This uninterrupted idea
of time, full of time.
311
00:21:14,636 --> 00:21:16,092
(music continues)
312
00:21:27,546 --> 00:21:30,666
Time tells us we're trying
to hold on to something.
313
00:21:30,666 --> 00:21:33,636
We're trying to process,
catalogue,
314
00:21:33,636 --> 00:21:36,939
understand our existence
here, account for it.
315
00:21:38,784 --> 00:21:40,144
(music continues)
316
00:21:48,126 --> 00:21:50,016
I'm an antiquarian horologist
317
00:21:50,016 --> 00:21:51,726
and I specialize
in the conservation
318
00:21:51,726 --> 00:21:54,816
and restoration of
antique automata mostly.
319
00:21:54,816 --> 00:21:57,156
An automaton is a
self-operating machine.
320
00:21:57,156 --> 00:22:00,156
The kind that I work
on are mechanical,
321
00:22:00,156 --> 00:22:02,766
they're clock- or
watch-based driven objects
322
00:22:02,766 --> 00:22:05,616
so instead of having this
equal interval oscillations
323
00:22:05,616 --> 00:22:09,186
for regulating time, you'd
have that same energy
324
00:22:09,186 --> 00:22:12,097
transmitted to
movements of the object.
325
00:22:13,296 --> 00:22:15,963
(bird chirping)
326
00:22:16,436 --> 00:22:18,131
(ethereal music)
327
00:22:29,256 --> 00:22:30,456
He's running out of air.
328
00:22:33,786 --> 00:22:36,756
My job is definitely
about being a steward
329
00:22:36,756 --> 00:22:38,356
and a caregiver to these things.
330
00:22:39,216 --> 00:22:41,766
Putting back a bird beak,
re-feathering,
331
00:22:41,766 --> 00:22:45,066
giving them eyes again,
restoring their lungs.
332
00:22:45,066 --> 00:22:47,196
This is reversing time in a way,
you know?
333
00:22:47,196 --> 00:22:48,876
These are the degradation,
334
00:22:48,876 --> 00:22:51,936
the natural aspects of
the world falling apart,
335
00:22:51,936 --> 00:22:53,589
which repeat through time.
336
00:22:55,511 --> 00:22:58,571
Objects facilitate
and elicit empathy.
337
00:22:58,596 --> 00:23:00,486
I think about
this object now,
338
00:23:00,486 --> 00:23:03,456
I'm having a direct
and tangible connection
339
00:23:03,456 --> 00:23:05,106
to those craftsmen in the past,
340
00:23:05,106 --> 00:23:08,256
and I'm actively working
within this lineage,
341
00:23:08,256 --> 00:23:10,749
this thread that
exists throughout time.
342
00:23:17,616 --> 00:23:21,876
I'm very interested in
how we used these objects
343
00:23:21,876 --> 00:23:24,996
as a way to interpret
and decipher
344
00:23:24,996 --> 00:23:27,009
the big problems
in our universe.
345
00:23:28,896 --> 00:23:30,546
What is the nature of God?
346
00:23:30,546 --> 00:23:32,499
What is the nature
of our existence?
347
00:23:34,536 --> 00:23:39,536
This, to me, really is probably
one of the most fragile
348
00:23:39,666 --> 00:23:44,666
and vulnerable windows
into the human spirit.
349
00:23:47,291 --> 00:23:50,041
(strident music)
350
00:24:00,633 --> 00:24:03,306
I was an angry kid.
351
00:24:03,306 --> 00:24:08,306
The insult was the fact
that the world expected me
352
00:24:08,466 --> 00:24:11,116
to be less and was not gonna
give me help to be more.
353
00:24:12,098 --> 00:24:13,698
(loud train passing)
354
00:24:14,826 --> 00:24:19,719
I was angry, but I used
that anger as motivation.
355
00:24:21,836 --> 00:24:24,369
(cameras clicking)
(people calling out)
356
00:24:25,056 --> 00:24:26,136
- Tell
me how it feels
357
00:24:26,136 --> 00:24:28,516
to be receiving
the Virtuoso Award
358
00:24:28,516 --> 00:24:29,856
for the Santa Barbara...
359
00:24:29,856 --> 00:24:32,466
- This is awesome, I
mean, look, as an actor,
360
00:24:32,466 --> 00:24:35,337
one of the big things that
you grow up thinking about is...
361
00:24:35,706 --> 00:24:37,206
Acting is taking care of itself
362
00:24:37,206 --> 00:24:39,036
in a grand way
right now but also,
363
00:24:39,036 --> 00:24:41,286
I have to keep my finger on
the pulse because it can slip
364
00:24:41,286 --> 00:24:43,596
and I'm at a monumental
moment in my career
365
00:24:43,596 --> 00:24:48,156
where it can be the
game-changing year.
366
00:24:48,156 --> 00:24:49,179
Yeah, man.
367
00:24:50,976 --> 00:24:52,896
Your next job could
be your greatest hit
368
00:24:52,896 --> 00:24:54,246
or your greatest flop.
369
00:24:54,246 --> 00:24:56,829
There's no sense of
just ease there, right?
370
00:24:57,726 --> 00:25:02,706
But I also am used to
hardships far more than ease.
371
00:25:02,706 --> 00:25:05,016
So I don't know anything else.
372
00:25:05,016 --> 00:25:06,759
Yeah, man!
373
00:25:07,866 --> 00:25:09,516
So why choose this pathway?
374
00:25:09,516 --> 00:25:13,536
Because just that, I choose
it, it's mine to choose.
375
00:25:13,536 --> 00:25:15,186
There's a bigger mission.
376
00:25:15,186 --> 00:25:17,136
Acting and being on TV,
that's cool,
377
00:25:17,136 --> 00:25:18,516
but what are you doing with it?
378
00:25:18,516 --> 00:25:21,456
If you're only out to get
something for yourself,
379
00:25:21,456 --> 00:25:22,746
I'm not interested.
380
00:25:22,746 --> 00:25:25,510
So with watchmaking, I'm
still very much on my journey
381
00:25:25,516 --> 00:25:26,596
of trying to figure out
382
00:25:26,609 --> 00:25:30,216
what I can contribute to
the world of horology.
383
00:25:30,216 --> 00:25:32,766
But at the same time,
establish the legacy
384
00:25:32,766 --> 00:25:34,416
that contributes something back,
385
00:25:34,416 --> 00:25:37,446
not only just to me and my
family, but to Black culture.
386
00:25:37,446 --> 00:25:39,666
I found something I
could attach myself to
387
00:25:39,666 --> 00:25:46,552
that could help me walk down
the path of the bigger mission.
388
00:25:47,190 --> 00:25:48,738
And, you know, there's
something more important
389
00:25:48,763 --> 00:25:50,409
than just catching a buck
at the end of the day.
390
00:25:51,360 --> 00:25:53,943
(gentle music)
391
00:25:55,176 --> 00:25:58,056
He was 14 when he
graduated high school,
392
00:25:58,056 --> 00:26:00,216
that's when he started to pursue
393
00:26:00,216 --> 00:26:01,959
his interest in the watches.
394
00:26:03,486 --> 00:26:07,476
He would just go to his
room and sit on the floor
395
00:26:07,476 --> 00:26:11,046
and just draw and draw
in this book he has.
396
00:26:11,046 --> 00:26:12,489
I call it the Bible.
397
00:26:14,556 --> 00:26:16,476
Every time he had a free moment,
398
00:26:16,476 --> 00:26:19,326
he would just go in his
room, shut his door,
399
00:26:19,326 --> 00:26:21,396
he's just drawing, drawing.
400
00:26:21,396 --> 00:26:25,386
And when he came out one
day with this amazing book,
401
00:26:25,386 --> 00:26:28,146
he said, "Look, Mom, this is
what I've been working on."
402
00:26:28,146 --> 00:26:30,219
I said, "You have
got to be kidding."
403
00:26:31,206 --> 00:26:33,666
From then on, we're just trying
404
00:26:33,666 --> 00:26:36,369
to figure this watch game out.
405
00:26:39,156 --> 00:26:43,596
I hope that this thing
comes to fruition for him.
406
00:26:43,596 --> 00:26:45,396
Within the next two years
407
00:26:45,396 --> 00:26:50,396
he can look at his wrist
and say, this is Hodge.
408
00:26:51,006 --> 00:26:54,126
You know, I want him
to say, this is Hodge.
409
00:26:54,126 --> 00:26:58,506
I wanna be wearing one
and say, "My baby did this."
410
00:26:58,506 --> 00:27:00,039
"This is my baby."
411
00:27:01,386 --> 00:27:03,756
This is a very difficult,
arduous task
412
00:27:03,756 --> 00:27:06,306
and it's something that is
near impossible to a degree,
413
00:27:06,306 --> 00:27:07,746
especially since
I'm American, like
414
00:27:07,746 --> 00:27:09,546
I'm not in Switzerland
415
00:27:09,546 --> 00:27:11,706
with access to everything
right around the corner,
416
00:27:11,706 --> 00:27:15,636
I gotta piece it together,
but I don't really care.
417
00:27:15,636 --> 00:27:17,916
This is about proving
something to myself.
418
00:27:17,916 --> 00:27:20,319
This is fully rooted
in passion for me.
419
00:27:21,366 --> 00:27:23,016
I need to get this thing going
420
00:27:23,016 --> 00:27:25,266
because I'm frustrated
with being patient.
421
00:27:25,266 --> 00:27:28,209
I'm tired of looking at my
designs. I wanna hold them.
422
00:27:29,140 --> 00:27:30,340
(pensive music)
423
00:27:33,599 --> 00:27:35,852
A watch... is a piece of art.
424
00:27:36,775 --> 00:27:38,515
Art has a soul.
425
00:27:38,586 --> 00:27:43,326
The soul only can come
from the fingers of man
426
00:27:43,326 --> 00:27:48,326
and the finger get
commands from the head.
427
00:27:48,636 --> 00:27:52,716
The head is
influenced by the heart.
428
00:27:52,716 --> 00:27:57,156
So if the watchmaker,
and to do this job,
429
00:27:57,156 --> 00:27:59,136
he must be passionate about it,
430
00:27:59,136 --> 00:28:03,486
if he's passionate,
passion is love.
431
00:28:03,486 --> 00:28:07,206
All this positive thinking
goes into the watch
432
00:28:07,206 --> 00:28:09,249
and then it is inside.
433
00:28:10,386 --> 00:28:13,746
And when you have it on
the wrist, it comes out.
434
00:28:13,746 --> 00:28:16,569
The vibration. That's the art.
435
00:28:18,876 --> 00:28:21,396
Philippe, he is
the purest artist.
436
00:28:21,396 --> 00:28:24,669
And he produces, I don't
know, five watches per year.
437
00:28:25,866 --> 00:28:30,336
I have a watch from Philippe,
which is called Simplicity.
438
00:28:30,336 --> 00:28:32,856
And I love the name Simplicity.
439
00:28:32,856 --> 00:28:34,179
Because it's not simple.
440
00:28:35,046 --> 00:28:38,676
It's extraordinarily complex,
but it looks simple.
441
00:28:38,676 --> 00:28:41,169
And that's the real quality.
442
00:28:42,231 --> 00:28:45,064
(watches ticking)
443
00:28:48,069 --> 00:28:49,869
(people talking
in background)
444
00:28:55,326 --> 00:28:57,936
My way of working,
my life,
445
00:28:57,936 --> 00:28:59,649
I've been completely different.
446
00:29:01,746 --> 00:29:03,080
I'm a black sheep.
447
00:29:04,776 --> 00:29:07,176
And the people
that don't like it,
448
00:29:08,374 --> 00:29:10,324
there is a lot of jealousy
449
00:29:11,406 --> 00:29:13,656
because everybody knows
each other, you know?
450
00:29:14,851 --> 00:29:17,434
(gentle music)
451
00:29:19,956 --> 00:29:22,989
To mesh with other
people isn't easy.
452
00:29:24,636 --> 00:29:28,835
Especially in this watch world,
you know?
453
00:29:29,379 --> 00:29:33,126
Because it's a world
with so much arrogance
454
00:29:33,126 --> 00:29:36,099
and I don't follow that.
455
00:29:41,046 --> 00:29:42,816
Just over a month
ago it was announced
456
00:29:42,816 --> 00:29:47,136
that Philippe Dufour will do
a Simplicity Anniversary model
457
00:29:47,136 --> 00:29:50,139
with a brand new
case back design.
458
00:29:51,306 --> 00:29:55,656
I have the privilege of
selling the absolutely first,
459
00:29:55,656 --> 00:29:59,856
number 00, Philippe Dufour
Simplicity Anniversary
460
00:29:59,881 --> 00:30:01,756
at one million,
one hundred thousand,
461
00:30:01,781 --> 00:30:04,881
going once,
going twice...
462
00:30:05,156 --> 00:30:06,800
(gavel banging)
463
00:30:06,839 --> 00:30:08,772
(gentle applause
fading away)
464
00:30:11,996 --> 00:30:14,516
I receive one or
two mails per week.
465
00:30:14,526 --> 00:30:16,296
They want to put a down
payment and I say,
466
00:30:16,296 --> 00:30:18,336
"Thank you very
much for the interest
467
00:30:18,336 --> 00:30:21,816
but actually I don't
have anything available."
468
00:30:21,816 --> 00:30:23,566
It's sad,
but that's the way it is.
469
00:30:24,906 --> 00:30:27,786
But commercially, everything
is marvelous, you know.
470
00:30:27,786 --> 00:30:30,369
I still keep some
orders for my next life.
471
00:30:33,042 --> 00:30:36,249
The negative is that I'm
still alone, you know?
472
00:30:38,076 --> 00:30:41,169
Since many years, I try
to be the team and I fail.
473
00:30:42,996 --> 00:30:44,196
With a mechanic problem,
474
00:30:44,196 --> 00:30:47,346
you can always find a
way to solve the problem,
475
00:30:47,346 --> 00:30:50,228
but human problem,
it's very difficult.
476
00:30:50,888 --> 00:30:52,521
(mournful music)
477
00:30:57,796 --> 00:31:01,956
He must transmit so
that he doesn't die.
478
00:31:01,986 --> 00:31:06,156
And he can only not die
if somebody takes over
479
00:31:06,156 --> 00:31:10,629
and maintains the soul,
the philosophy of him.
480
00:31:14,313 --> 00:31:16,896
(gentle music)
481
00:31:25,386 --> 00:31:26,436
People know that
they have
482
00:31:26,436 --> 00:31:28,116
a finite time on Earth.
483
00:31:28,116 --> 00:31:30,639
What do you do with that
short time you're given?
484
00:31:34,279 --> 00:31:36,193
(music continues)
485
00:31:41,376 --> 00:31:43,746
Some people wanna
live for the moment,
486
00:31:43,746 --> 00:31:46,326
some people wanna
change the world,
487
00:31:46,326 --> 00:31:49,836
some people wanna make one
thing, one beautiful thing
488
00:31:49,836 --> 00:31:51,846
and leave that behind
to be appreciated.
489
00:31:51,846 --> 00:31:54,953
Not for them necessarily,
but for the future.
490
00:31:57,067 --> 00:31:58,427
(music continues)
491
00:32:03,328 --> 00:32:05,531
(music continues)
492
00:32:10,635 --> 00:32:14,385
I think for 10 years
we lived more than
493
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,443
most couples do
in a lifetime.
494
00:32:24,476 --> 00:32:29,721
It was the worst
moment of our lives.
495
00:32:29,869 --> 00:32:33,453
At the same time, it made us
live for the best moments.
496
00:32:35,330 --> 00:32:37,264
For 10 years it was phases of
497
00:32:37,676 --> 00:32:43,358
chemotherapy, hellish
treatments, operations.
498
00:32:45,476 --> 00:32:50,877
I have a great ability for not
remembering the worst moments.
499
00:32:52,661 --> 00:32:54,341
(distant bird calling)
500
00:32:54,936 --> 00:32:56,799
We were not
counting the days.
501
00:32:56,940 --> 00:33:00,524
We took things as they came,
for as long as they lasted.
502
00:33:04,716 --> 00:33:07,299
(somber music)
503
00:33:09,196 --> 00:33:11,103
It changes the way
you see the world.
504
00:33:11,156 --> 00:33:12,836
It changes everything.
505
00:33:16,412 --> 00:33:18,946
I couldn't let go,
I had to be strong,
506
00:33:19,036 --> 00:33:21,367
whatever was going
on outside.
507
00:33:24,676 --> 00:33:29,501
A big brand approached
me to ask if I would
508
00:33:29,589 --> 00:33:33,661
develop a movement for
them, very complicated.
509
00:33:34,601 --> 00:33:36,642
It was a huge
amount of work.
510
00:33:36,861 --> 00:33:39,807
I stopped my own work.
511
00:33:40,069 --> 00:33:42,438
I stopped everything to work
for this big brand.
512
00:33:43,804 --> 00:33:48,277
We worked heart and
soul for a year.
513
00:33:49,316 --> 00:33:52,275
The moment we were
going to get paid,
514
00:33:52,673 --> 00:33:55,453
we were told,
"Ah, well, listen...
515
00:33:55,535 --> 00:33:59,140
you've done the work,
we don't need you anymore.
516
00:33:59,676 --> 00:34:02,125
We will take your plans,
we will take your name
517
00:34:02,489 --> 00:34:04,226
and we'll make the
watches ourselves."
518
00:34:07,156 --> 00:34:10,428
They wanted their
name on the watch
519
00:34:10,821 --> 00:34:12,197
plus all the plans
for the watch,
520
00:34:12,266 --> 00:34:13,266
for nothing.
521
00:34:17,196 --> 00:34:19,592
And a war began,
522
00:34:19,703 --> 00:34:22,215
a war which led
me to bankruptcy.
523
00:34:24,257 --> 00:34:26,074
That went on for three years.
524
00:34:26,116 --> 00:34:28,097
I was stuck with a...
525
00:34:28,835 --> 00:34:32,708
with a watchmaking firm
who wanted my blood.
526
00:34:33,690 --> 00:34:36,366
The cancer wanted
my wife's blood.
527
00:34:38,534 --> 00:34:39,972
Having been at the top,
528
00:34:39,996 --> 00:34:41,577
I was now at
the bottom.
529
00:34:43,476 --> 00:34:44,476
No salary.
530
00:34:44,716 --> 00:34:45,716
No nothing.
531
00:34:48,428 --> 00:34:50,592
Only death all around.
532
00:34:51,379 --> 00:34:52,976
Death everywhere.
533
00:34:55,795 --> 00:34:59,747
I spoke to Eveline about
what I should do.
534
00:35:00,732 --> 00:35:03,599
I'd always dreamed of
becoming independent.
535
00:35:04,757 --> 00:35:08,231
Should I now become an
independent watchmaker?
536
00:35:09,156 --> 00:35:12,165
I spoke to her a lot about
what I should do;
537
00:35:12,203 --> 00:35:13,326
I wanted her support.
538
00:35:13,351 --> 00:35:14,544
She said, "Listen,
539
00:35:14,638 --> 00:35:16,318
we only have one life..."
540
00:35:20,577 --> 00:35:21,857
(stifling tears)
541
00:35:24,045 --> 00:35:25,612
(somber music)
542
00:35:32,647 --> 00:35:34,534
She said,
"Go for it.
543
00:35:34,959 --> 00:35:39,139
Pursue your dream because
we don't have our whole lives
544
00:35:39,366 --> 00:35:42,242
to realise our dreams."
545
00:35:43,254 --> 00:35:44,614
(music continues)
546
00:35:50,596 --> 00:35:52,116
(water lapping)
547
00:35:55,276 --> 00:35:57,526
It was devastating
when my Dad passed away.
548
00:35:59,432 --> 00:36:02,646
And then a year later,
I would see any movie
549
00:36:02,646 --> 00:36:04,656
where a son would lose his Dad
550
00:36:04,656 --> 00:36:07,959
and I would start sobbing
in front of the screen.
551
00:36:08,904 --> 00:36:10,498
(water lapping)
552
00:36:15,396 --> 00:36:18,906
I thought I was
angry with my father
553
00:36:18,930 --> 00:36:22,386
and I realised that I
actually was sad for him.
554
00:36:23,646 --> 00:36:26,466
He didn't have the upbringing,
he didn't have the keys.
555
00:36:26,466 --> 00:36:28,626
Had no idea how to communicate
556
00:36:28,626 --> 00:36:30,966
and I was just pushing
back and angry.
557
00:36:30,966 --> 00:36:34,899
And so it just flared up
and went on for years.
558
00:36:36,336 --> 00:36:39,606
And if I have one regret
in life, it's that one.
559
00:36:39,606 --> 00:36:41,736
I can't do anything about it.
560
00:36:41,736 --> 00:36:42,819
I can't go back.
561
00:36:44,376 --> 00:36:46,536
I didn't have the keys myself.
562
00:36:46,536 --> 00:36:47,746
I am...
563
00:36:50,226 --> 00:36:54,609
Yeah, I'm really
sorry about that.
564
00:36:56,378 --> 00:36:57,658
(ethereal music)
565
00:36:57,728 --> 00:36:59,408
(distant church bells)
566
00:37:05,316 --> 00:37:08,616
That's when the notion
of regret emerged.
567
00:37:08,616 --> 00:37:10,806
Because before I
was living the life
568
00:37:10,806 --> 00:37:14,946
I thought people would
think was successful.
569
00:37:14,946 --> 00:37:17,856
And that was
completely pointless
570
00:37:17,856 --> 00:37:20,889
because I just, I hated my life.
571
00:37:22,146 --> 00:37:24,576
I had no empathy in those days.
572
00:37:24,576 --> 00:37:27,816
To protect myself,
I'd surrounded myself
573
00:37:27,816 --> 00:37:31,359
with an ironclad
wall around me.
574
00:37:32,286 --> 00:37:35,379
I was this cold
son of a bitch.
575
00:37:39,066 --> 00:37:41,196
The little boy who
was super creative
576
00:37:41,196 --> 00:37:42,699
had become a marketeer.
577
00:37:44,256 --> 00:37:47,376
And I met these incredible
independent watchmakers
578
00:37:47,376 --> 00:37:51,697
who were penniless
and happy and proud.
579
00:37:51,697 --> 00:37:53,649
And I thought,
I wanna be like them.
580
00:37:54,996 --> 00:37:56,769
I have to create
what I believe in.
581
00:37:59,946 --> 00:38:02,459
And I'm supposed to go for
a board meeting to New York
582
00:38:02,459 --> 00:38:06,006
where I'm actually going
to defend the budget
583
00:38:06,006 --> 00:38:08,196
of the whole new manufacturer
for Harry Winston,
584
00:38:08,196 --> 00:38:10,389
which was a very big budget.
585
00:38:11,826 --> 00:38:14,886
And I realise
it's now. That's it.
586
00:38:14,886 --> 00:38:16,866
I have to take the leap.
587
00:38:16,866 --> 00:38:20,046
And so I basically
tendered my resignation
588
00:38:20,046 --> 00:38:22,516
before the board meeting
to everybody's shock
589
00:38:23,976 --> 00:38:27,066
and told them, "You gave me
a contract I can't sign,
590
00:38:27,066 --> 00:38:28,806
I was planning to
leave at some point.
591
00:38:28,806 --> 00:38:30,546
I cannot sign that contract.
592
00:38:30,546 --> 00:38:33,246
So I'm actually gonna leave
way earlier than I planned
593
00:38:35,226 --> 00:38:37,149
and you're gonna
have to let me free."
594
00:38:40,116 --> 00:38:42,816
I needed that emotional part.
595
00:38:42,816 --> 00:38:46,896
I needed that human part, I
needed that romantic part.
596
00:38:46,896 --> 00:38:50,586
And that's what I
found in watchmaking.
597
00:38:50,586 --> 00:38:52,269
It was the history of humanity.
598
00:38:53,826 --> 00:38:56,496
Imagine, 700 years ago,
599
00:38:56,496 --> 00:38:59,466
some geniuses took
some steel and brass
600
00:38:59,466 --> 00:39:01,086
and transformed
it into a machine
601
00:39:01,086 --> 00:39:02,589
which actually counted time.
602
00:39:04,356 --> 00:39:07,176
The energy was
transformed into a beat
603
00:39:07,176 --> 00:39:09,939
and that beat was
transformed into timekeeping.
604
00:39:11,462 --> 00:39:15,712
(components
clicking rhythmically)
605
00:39:22,686 --> 00:39:25,296
A watchmaker is God.
606
00:39:25,296 --> 00:39:32,493
A watchmaker assembles three,
four, five, 600 tiny components,
607
00:39:32,916 --> 00:39:34,419
takes weeks to do that,
608
00:39:35,406 --> 00:39:39,516
and at some point, when
the barrel is armed,
609
00:39:39,516 --> 00:39:42,999
he will let it go and suddenly
the heart starts beating.
610
00:39:43,926 --> 00:39:47,376
We are all creating creatures
611
00:39:47,376 --> 00:39:49,471
which come to life in our hands.
612
00:39:54,246 --> 00:39:56,466
The skills that
it took to create these things
613
00:39:56,466 --> 00:39:58,806
in the past, it would
take a person a lifetime
614
00:39:58,806 --> 00:40:01,476
to perfect those skills
and it took several people
615
00:40:01,476 --> 00:40:02,826
perfecting several skills
616
00:40:02,826 --> 00:40:04,866
to make something so beautiful
617
00:40:04,866 --> 00:40:07,296
that would last centuries later.
618
00:40:07,296 --> 00:40:10,266
There's definitely this
feeling, this desire
619
00:40:10,266 --> 00:40:12,966
that you will make something
that will be utilized
620
00:40:12,966 --> 00:40:14,646
and enjoyed into the future,
621
00:40:14,646 --> 00:40:16,799
past your finite time on Earth.
622
00:40:18,704 --> 00:40:20,384
(gentle machine sounds)
623
00:40:31,938 --> 00:40:34,799
I remember when
I was very small,
624
00:40:34,854 --> 00:40:38,456
when I came into the workshop
I couldn't make a sound
625
00:40:38,503 --> 00:40:40,237
because he needed silence.
626
00:40:40,716 --> 00:40:43,476
(lively, but obscured
orchestral music)
627
00:40:44,276 --> 00:40:46,531
I could see he was stamping his
feet and saying,
628
00:40:46,556 --> 00:40:47,592
"No, it's no good."
629
00:40:47,636 --> 00:40:53,078
Or he sighed a little and said,
"Good, I've managed it."
630
00:40:54,836 --> 00:40:58,909
There was the smell of the
pipe and classical music.
631
00:41:01,156 --> 00:41:04,600
He's really in a trance until
he succeeds at his piece.
632
00:41:04,624 --> 00:41:05,956
He stops breathing.
633
00:41:06,060 --> 00:41:10,433
Then he adjusts something
and then... (sighs).
634
00:41:10,716 --> 00:41:14,126
He breathes, he relaxes.
635
00:41:16,062 --> 00:41:19,023
Most of my childhood was
spent in Beavais
636
00:41:19,556 --> 00:41:22,235
60 or 70 kilometers
from Paris.
637
00:41:23,596 --> 00:41:27,654
Then everything got turned
upside down in a good way,
638
00:41:28,005 --> 00:41:31,338
because my Mum met
the Dad I have today.
639
00:41:32,715 --> 00:41:39,076
My Mum and I missed
our metro exit,
640
00:41:39,137 --> 00:41:42,611
so we came out late and we
took the lift to get
641
00:41:42,636 --> 00:41:44,636
out of the metro station
642
00:41:44,658 --> 00:41:45,910
and we bumped into him.
643
00:41:47,176 --> 00:41:49,927
I was 3 and turned to
him and said...
644
00:41:51,126 --> 00:41:53,619
"You're handsome! Do you
want to be my Dad?
645
00:41:53,636 --> 00:41:58,009
Because I don't have a kind one
and all my friends have a Dad."
646
00:41:58,716 --> 00:42:01,396
And she was high
like that and she say,
647
00:42:02,226 --> 00:42:03,966
"Do you want to be my father?"
648
00:42:03,966 --> 00:42:07,213
You know. I say, "Yes, why not?"
649
00:42:08,076 --> 00:42:09,505
And then.
650
00:42:10,190 --> 00:42:12,743
And he looked at
me and then said,
651
00:42:13,716 --> 00:42:15,599
"If that's what your Mum wants."
652
00:42:15,636 --> 00:42:17,542
And then my Mum got
annoyed and said,
653
00:42:17,556 --> 00:42:20,106
"Daniella, we don't say
things like that."
654
00:42:22,236 --> 00:42:27,668
We moved here, then I carried
on my schooling in Switzerland.
655
00:42:27,716 --> 00:42:30,020
But it wasn't very easy
because...
656
00:42:32,171 --> 00:42:34,081
it was a bit like...
657
00:42:34,147 --> 00:42:36,695
the two black women
who've come to steal
658
00:42:36,719 --> 00:42:38,435
Philippe Dufour's fortune.
659
00:42:39,916 --> 00:42:42,784
In fact, in La Vallée it's a
bit like a cult,
660
00:42:42,808 --> 00:42:45,486
meaning everything is said and
661
00:42:45,520 --> 00:42:47,414
everything is known and
if you aren't from La Vallée,
662
00:42:47,439 --> 00:42:49,240
you're not in the clan.
663
00:42:49,476 --> 00:42:54,930
A foreigner who comes to live
here, has to integrate.
664
00:42:54,955 --> 00:42:58,156
I've lived through it and
so has my Mum.
665
00:42:58,836 --> 00:43:00,591
You can't hide yourself away.
666
00:43:00,636 --> 00:43:02,478
I am mixed-race,
my Mum is black
667
00:43:02,516 --> 00:43:05,396
and I've experienced
racism here.
668
00:43:06,756 --> 00:43:10,318
It was a battle to
find our place
669
00:43:10,343 --> 00:43:12,000
and now they accept us.
670
00:43:12,596 --> 00:43:14,224
(crowds talking
in background)
671
00:43:18,796 --> 00:43:20,156
(distant traffic)
672
00:43:21,696 --> 00:43:24,336
I came in yesterday
from Los Angeles,
673
00:43:24,336 --> 00:43:27,036
I'm still a little jet lagged
because right about now
674
00:43:27,036 --> 00:43:30,906
in LA I'm pretty
sure it's nine or 10 o'clock,
675
00:43:30,906 --> 00:43:32,256
something like that.
676
00:43:32,256 --> 00:43:34,219
What's happening, everybody,
this is Aldis Hodge
677
00:43:34,219 --> 00:43:39,219
reporting live from Dubai
Watch Week in Dubai.
678
00:43:39,396 --> 00:43:41,196
This is the best
place to come to learn,
679
00:43:41,196 --> 00:43:43,566
to understand because
you'll see how watches...
680
00:43:43,566 --> 00:43:46,926
I've been living on planes
for the last few months.
681
00:43:46,926 --> 00:43:49,449
I'm kind of working on
autopilot at this point.
682
00:43:51,191 --> 00:43:53,801
My Mom and my sister are
out here on this journey,
683
00:43:53,826 --> 00:43:56,226
this horological
journey with me.
684
00:43:56,236 --> 00:43:57,626
Brianna.
685
00:43:58,866 --> 00:44:01,059
Brianna. Come here real quick.
686
00:44:02,466 --> 00:44:07,056
So... this is the little sister
right here, this is Brianna.
687
00:44:07,056 --> 00:44:08,217
Say hello to the people.
688
00:44:08,217 --> 00:44:09,249
- Hello!
689
00:44:09,276 --> 00:44:10,276
(laughing)
690
00:44:11,561 --> 00:44:12,945
- Here, Mom,
can I give you this?
691
00:44:12,945 --> 00:44:14,171
- Yes.
- Thank you.
692
00:44:14,171 --> 00:44:15,171
Oh, it's cold!
- You got this.
693
00:44:15,196 --> 00:44:16,249
- Oh, Jesus, it's cold.
694
00:44:16,274 --> 00:44:17,274
Yeah, Mom, I'm not worried.
695
00:44:17,299 --> 00:44:19,711
- I know. I'm so proud of you.
696
00:44:20,350 --> 00:44:23,011
- Mom, come on!
- I am proud of you.
697
00:44:23,516 --> 00:44:24,549
- Hi, how are you?
698
00:44:24,574 --> 00:44:26,171
- [Interviewer] Talk
about what you're doing,
699
00:44:26,196 --> 00:44:28,361
sketching watches
and designing.
700
00:44:28,716 --> 00:44:34,091
- When I was 21, 22, I
started sketching concepts
701
00:44:34,176 --> 00:44:36,426
and you know, concepts
for different companies,
702
00:44:36,426 --> 00:44:38,316
so I would reach out.
703
00:44:38,316 --> 00:44:42,576
And I kept trying to
design for other people
704
00:44:42,576 --> 00:44:45,486
and I kept getting nos,
a lot of nos.
705
00:44:45,486 --> 00:44:47,946
So I said, you know what?
706
00:44:47,946 --> 00:44:50,106
I'm going into
business for myself.
707
00:44:50,106 --> 00:44:54,516
So it's a very difficult
industry to enter into.
708
00:44:54,516 --> 00:44:58,506
But I think the difficulty is
what carves out innovation.
709
00:44:58,506 --> 00:44:59,676
It's supposed to be difficult
710
00:44:59,676 --> 00:45:01,056
so we can think differently,
711
00:45:01,056 --> 00:45:03,096
so we can give you a
completely new experience,
712
00:45:03,096 --> 00:45:04,266
that's our job.
713
00:45:04,266 --> 00:45:05,919
To challenge the difficulties.
714
00:45:06,656 --> 00:45:07,992
(city noise)
715
00:45:11,616 --> 00:45:14,196
What's happening, everybody,
this is Aldis Hodge,
716
00:45:14,196 --> 00:45:15,396
I'm out here of course
717
00:45:15,396 --> 00:45:18,276
working on the
fantastic "Black Adam."
718
00:45:18,276 --> 00:45:21,336
I get to play Hawkman,
who is fantastic,
719
00:45:21,336 --> 00:45:23,859
but this brother is ripped.
720
00:45:24,911 --> 00:45:27,251
You know, preparing for
"Black Adam," it's crazy,
721
00:45:27,276 --> 00:45:31,086
like, training and getting
swole up and eating.
722
00:45:31,086 --> 00:45:32,766
It's a heavy schedule
for the rest of the year
723
00:45:32,766 --> 00:45:35,889
but you know,
it's all manageable.
724
00:45:37,806 --> 00:45:39,606
Still maintaining
the watch production,
725
00:45:39,606 --> 00:45:41,466
I still have things to design.
726
00:45:41,466 --> 00:45:44,019
And with watches there's
just so many things that,
727
00:45:45,096 --> 00:45:48,186
so many little minute
things that are big things.
728
00:45:48,186 --> 00:45:49,236
That you have to address
729
00:45:49,236 --> 00:45:54,069
in order to make
it synergistic, so.
730
00:45:55,213 --> 00:45:57,049
(fork clattering)
731
00:45:58,196 --> 00:46:02,759
Nine damn eggs, nine
eggs. It's a lot of food.
732
00:46:03,506 --> 00:46:04,626
(plate clinks)
733
00:46:06,252 --> 00:46:07,292
(bag zipping)
734
00:46:10,576 --> 00:46:11,856
(light switches)
735
00:46:12,156 --> 00:46:13,296
I designed my packaging,
736
00:46:13,296 --> 00:46:15,576
I designed the ins
and outs and everything
737
00:46:15,576 --> 00:46:19,239
so finding somebody to make
my packaging is difficult.
738
00:46:20,706 --> 00:46:22,806
It should be representative
of your product,
739
00:46:22,806 --> 00:46:24,006
wholly and fully.
740
00:46:24,006 --> 00:46:25,086
The quality has to speak
741
00:46:25,086 --> 00:46:26,976
to the quality of the
watch inside, you know?
742
00:46:26,976 --> 00:46:30,096
So, finding artisans to
do that kind of work
743
00:46:30,096 --> 00:46:31,746
hasn't been the easiest process
744
00:46:31,746 --> 00:46:34,266
but this one guy I'm
really, really excited
745
00:46:34,266 --> 00:46:36,456
about working with
who decorates wood
746
00:46:36,456 --> 00:46:39,056
and makes wood furniture
and he's a freaking genius.
747
00:46:40,596 --> 00:46:43,059
So we are working
old school today.
748
00:46:43,645 --> 00:46:45,801
(indistinct)
749
00:46:46,218 --> 00:46:47,766
'Cause I know last time
we were talking about
750
00:46:47,766 --> 00:46:49,686
either this or talking
about the drawer.
751
00:46:49,686 --> 00:46:54,246
- What I was getting at here is
just, like, a mechanical lock.
752
00:46:54,246 --> 00:46:57,696
It's a little bit like finicky,
but see it's got that pop?
753
00:46:57,696 --> 00:46:59,226
- The way you've even done this,
754
00:46:59,226 --> 00:47:02,916
to me it's like I see this
and it's just interesting.
755
00:47:02,916 --> 00:47:05,354
- This is part of
why I copied that.
756
00:47:05,354 --> 00:47:08,344
'Cause I was thinking, like,
can we do that thing?
757
00:47:08,369 --> 00:47:09,480
You know?
758
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:11,894
- 'Cause it was
becoming so that...
759
00:47:11,916 --> 00:47:14,916
- I see what you did there!
760
00:47:16,199 --> 00:47:19,206
I was like, well, that's
an opportunity, you know?
761
00:47:19,206 --> 00:47:21,846
- See, the man is smart,
he took my logo.
762
00:47:21,846 --> 00:47:24,756
He took my logo,
he worked it into the...
763
00:47:24,756 --> 00:47:28,596
So here, if this right here
was actually the component,
764
00:47:28,596 --> 00:47:31,506
it can be a latch under
here, that is holding...
765
00:47:31,506 --> 00:47:35,196
My logo is a skeleton
key because skeleton key
766
00:47:35,196 --> 00:47:37,806
was devised to bypass any lock
767
00:47:37,806 --> 00:47:40,236
and that's what this
entire company is for me.
768
00:47:40,236 --> 00:47:41,826
I want it to stand
as a representation
769
00:47:41,826 --> 00:47:45,366
to any child who has a dream
that people are deferring
770
00:47:45,366 --> 00:47:47,526
to say, "I can use my
mind, that's all I need
771
00:47:47,526 --> 00:47:49,986
to bypass any of
the world's locks."
772
00:47:49,986 --> 00:47:51,636
Do what you wanna do
773
00:47:51,636 --> 00:47:54,883
in spite of all of the
difficulties in your way.
774
00:47:55,365 --> 00:47:57,045
(interior of car driving)
775
00:47:58,276 --> 00:48:00,009
(very distant
dog barking)
776
00:48:05,076 --> 00:48:07,516
We survive for the people
who are having a hard time,
777
00:48:07,796 --> 00:48:09,671
which was my wife.
778
00:48:10,116 --> 00:48:11,396
(mournful music)
779
00:48:12,156 --> 00:48:15,781
She needed someone
strong by her side.
780
00:48:17,633 --> 00:48:19,443
I wanted to protect her.
781
00:48:19,901 --> 00:48:21,718
But it was impossible
to protect her.
782
00:48:21,956 --> 00:48:24,996
either from the cancer
or the bankruptcy.
783
00:48:25,667 --> 00:48:29,499
You can't do anything
and if you think you can,
784
00:48:29,594 --> 00:48:31,727
it will haunt you day and night.
785
00:48:32,996 --> 00:48:34,356
(music continues)
786
00:48:39,880 --> 00:48:41,281
Life is love.
787
00:48:42,836 --> 00:48:44,131
Life is love.
788
00:48:45,596 --> 00:48:46,956
(music continues)
789
00:48:55,876 --> 00:49:00,533
When your other half dies
790
00:49:03,156 --> 00:49:06,133
you die with her.
791
00:49:08,876 --> 00:49:10,236
(music continues)
792
00:49:22,036 --> 00:49:25,492
That's when I realised
the present moment is important
793
00:49:25,620 --> 00:49:28,063
and that's how it all began.
794
00:49:29,862 --> 00:49:31,542
(dramatic music
fades in)
795
00:49:32,436 --> 00:49:34,686
- The markets
down by almost half...
796
00:49:34,686 --> 00:49:36,006
- It's gotten bad.
- And if you thought
797
00:49:36,006 --> 00:49:37,236
the markets couldn't
get any worse,
798
00:49:37,236 --> 00:49:39,216
you may be in for
a rude awakening.
799
00:49:39,216 --> 00:49:42,126
- Overseas indexes
plunged this morning,
800
00:49:42,126 --> 00:49:43,888
Japan down nearly 10%.
801
00:49:43,971 --> 00:49:46,796
It was 2008, during
the financial crisis,
802
00:49:46,836 --> 00:49:51,208
and in the newspapers, on the
radio, on television,
803
00:49:51,276 --> 00:49:52,928
they were always talking
about the stock markets,
804
00:49:52,956 --> 00:49:54,636
numbers, just numbers.
805
00:49:56,156 --> 00:49:59,532
And then I thought, it's
not serious, because
806
00:49:59,556 --> 00:50:04,631
if just one number holds fast
and stays up, life continues.
807
00:50:05,556 --> 00:50:08,628
And that's what my Upside
Down watch represents.
808
00:50:09,396 --> 00:50:11,551
(tense music)
809
00:50:15,996 --> 00:50:19,196
There's only one message I
want my watches to have:
810
00:50:19,756 --> 00:50:21,689
"Live in the present moment."
811
00:50:24,727 --> 00:50:26,087
(music continues)
812
00:50:38,892 --> 00:50:41,559
(watch ticking)
813
00:50:52,584 --> 00:50:54,384
The face of the
Upside Down
814
00:50:54,876 --> 00:50:58,540
shows the time in
its current place.
815
00:51:00,516 --> 00:51:05,582
So, in fact, you can only
read the current time
816
00:51:06,396 --> 00:51:11,191
and if you see the past
and future time,
817
00:51:11,584 --> 00:51:13,428
they're upside down.
818
00:51:13,996 --> 00:51:16,989
The past is there, the
future is there,
819
00:51:17,436 --> 00:51:21,844
but we pay them
less attention.
820
00:51:28,396 --> 00:51:29,756
(music continues)
821
00:51:43,717 --> 00:51:45,162
(music becomes
more positive)
822
00:51:51,309 --> 00:51:56,139
I think craft is
really what makes us human.
823
00:51:58,086 --> 00:52:02,436
We've become so far removed
from tactile, tangible craft
824
00:52:02,436 --> 00:52:05,886
that it's hard for us
to actually understand
825
00:52:05,886 --> 00:52:07,329
how things work.
826
00:52:08,946 --> 00:52:11,916
I'm working on a
series of 10 automata,
827
00:52:11,916 --> 00:52:13,686
it's based on
medieval bestiaries
828
00:52:13,686 --> 00:52:15,279
and illuminated manuscripts.
829
00:52:17,886 --> 00:52:22,356
What's interesting is, when
I did the snail automaton,
830
00:52:22,356 --> 00:52:26,046
people were more fascinated
with the shell off,
831
00:52:26,046 --> 00:52:28,326
of actually seeing the
mechanism working,
832
00:52:28,326 --> 00:52:30,786
I think because we don't
have a relationship
833
00:52:30,786 --> 00:52:32,049
to those mechanics.
834
00:52:34,386 --> 00:52:36,396
The most fascinating
thing is actually knowing
835
00:52:36,396 --> 00:52:38,976
that it's all just
brass and steel
836
00:52:38,976 --> 00:52:40,576
which actually makes it magical.
837
00:52:45,186 --> 00:52:48,546
The overlap between
magic and horology,
838
00:52:48,546 --> 00:52:49,809
it goes back a long way.
839
00:52:53,076 --> 00:52:58,076
With automata, there's this
reflection of our desire,
840
00:52:58,146 --> 00:52:59,859
you know, to live on.
841
00:53:00,726 --> 00:53:03,606
We have this, I think,
vulnerability to wish
842
00:53:03,606 --> 00:53:07,686
that things will last
forever and they won't,
843
00:53:07,686 --> 00:53:09,939
it's part of our
human condition.
844
00:53:11,449 --> 00:53:14,032
(music continues)
845
00:53:23,316 --> 00:53:24,863
(rushing jet sounds)
846
00:53:25,476 --> 00:53:27,876
There's something weird
which happens in the world.
847
00:53:27,876 --> 00:53:31,806
When you start oscillating
on a very specific wavelength,
848
00:53:31,806 --> 00:53:33,636
most people don't hear it,
849
00:53:33,636 --> 00:53:35,916
and then suddenly,
you don't know why,
850
00:53:35,916 --> 00:53:37,236
somebody will pick up on it
851
00:53:37,236 --> 00:53:40,689
because he or she has
got the same wavelength.
852
00:53:42,006 --> 00:53:44,829
I'm just sending my sonar out.
853
00:53:49,116 --> 00:53:51,879
The HM4 Thunderbolt is
inspired by my childhood.
854
00:53:52,986 --> 00:53:54,999
Most of all my HMs
are my childhood.
855
00:53:56,916 --> 00:53:59,586
I used to make model aeroplanes
a lot when I was a kid.
856
00:53:59,586 --> 00:54:03,216
So it's basically two
reactors of a plane
857
00:54:03,216 --> 00:54:04,476
held together in the center,
858
00:54:04,476 --> 00:54:06,326
you've got the
balance wheel working.
859
00:54:07,416 --> 00:54:10,656
It looks like more or less
a plane on your wrist.
860
00:54:10,656 --> 00:54:15,656
It was the most crazy piece
I'd ever done in my life.
861
00:54:17,406 --> 00:54:19,476
I remember holding the
prototype in my hand
862
00:54:19,476 --> 00:54:22,116
six months before we
presented to anybody, going,
863
00:54:22,116 --> 00:54:24,846
"Nobody's ever
gonna buy this, guys."
864
00:54:24,846 --> 00:54:27,696
And now I'm gonna commit
suicide, basically,
865
00:54:27,696 --> 00:54:30,579
with a product which I
think nobody's gonna buy.
866
00:54:31,566 --> 00:54:36,006
I go to Basel Fair, present
it to our retailers,
867
00:54:36,006 --> 00:54:37,626
exactly what I
expected happened,
868
00:54:37,626 --> 00:54:40,271
meaning they're all looking
at it, they're,
869
00:54:40,296 --> 00:54:42,819
"Wow, do you have
something else?"
870
00:54:43,716 --> 00:54:45,816
And then a miracle happens.
871
00:54:45,816 --> 00:54:49,146
The media talk about it,
luckily the internet exists,
872
00:54:49,146 --> 00:54:52,686
the blogs talk about it
because it's completely nuts.
873
00:54:52,686 --> 00:54:55,056
Then suddenly
emails start coming in,
874
00:54:55,056 --> 00:54:56,556
the phone starts ringing.
875
00:54:56,556 --> 00:54:59,676
Retailers who had not
ordered the piece going,
876
00:54:59,676 --> 00:55:04,146
"Do you still have that
weird, plane-looking watch?"
877
00:55:04,146 --> 00:55:05,886
I'm like, "Yes."
878
00:55:05,886 --> 00:55:08,679
"There's actually a guy in
the store wants to buy it."
879
00:55:09,876 --> 00:55:13,566
And the piece which
the most terrified me
880
00:55:13,566 --> 00:55:15,579
is actually our biggest success.
881
00:55:16,866 --> 00:55:20,736
Most watch collectors or
most any normal person
882
00:55:20,736 --> 00:55:24,096
would look at it and
go, you must be insane.
883
00:55:24,096 --> 00:55:26,976
But I just needed
25 people a year
884
00:55:26,976 --> 00:55:29,859
who had the means
and were as crazy as me.
885
00:55:32,646 --> 00:55:35,073
In the middle of
these billions of people
886
00:55:35,073 --> 00:55:37,236
who don't understand
what we're doing,
887
00:55:37,236 --> 00:55:39,846
there will be one person
who will resonate.
888
00:55:39,846 --> 00:55:43,389
That's incredible. When
somebody gets what you're doing.
889
00:55:49,446 --> 00:55:52,029
(ethereal music)
890
00:56:06,413 --> 00:56:08,913
(cows mooing)
891
00:56:11,436 --> 00:56:14,444
Because my father
was a watchmaker
892
00:56:14,526 --> 00:56:16,946
I would often see him
at work concentrating.
893
00:56:17,009 --> 00:56:19,799
I could see his passion which
he would try to convey to people
894
00:56:19,847 --> 00:56:22,885
and I said to myself, "Yes,
I want to do this job."
895
00:56:23,853 --> 00:56:25,295
He tried to dissuade me,
896
00:56:25,350 --> 00:56:27,548
saying, "No, it's not
the job for you."
897
00:56:29,256 --> 00:56:31,656
I said, "Come on,
it's not for you.
898
00:56:31,656 --> 00:56:34,566
It's an old profession,
blah, blah, blah."
899
00:56:34,566 --> 00:56:38,256
And during two years
where I was pushing her
900
00:56:38,256 --> 00:56:42,992
to see if it's really what
she wanted to do, you know?
901
00:56:42,992 --> 00:56:45,396
And after two years
I say, "Okay,
902
00:56:45,396 --> 00:56:48,079
if you really want to
do that, let's do it."
903
00:56:50,116 --> 00:56:52,711
I was not prepared to accept
his "no" because I knew
904
00:56:52,736 --> 00:56:54,279
that it was what I wanted to do
905
00:56:54,307 --> 00:56:57,505
and nothing else, so
I was determined.
906
00:56:58,718 --> 00:57:01,326
I'm not an easy
character either.
907
00:57:03,246 --> 00:57:05,076
Already in this world
908
00:57:05,076 --> 00:57:07,404
of independent watchmakers,
909
00:57:07,404 --> 00:57:11,316
it's one or two women, not many.
910
00:57:11,316 --> 00:57:15,132
Of course, that's first
difficulties, then, second,
911
00:57:16,296 --> 00:57:18,309
she's not white, okay.
912
00:57:19,196 --> 00:57:23,529
But I think every
problem she has to solve
913
00:57:24,906 --> 00:57:27,936
make her stronger, you know?
914
00:57:27,936 --> 00:57:31,533
And she has a strong
character to do that.
915
00:57:33,876 --> 00:57:37,691
I see him as a man
and at school they see him
916
00:57:37,716 --> 00:57:40,070
more as a living god!
917
00:57:40,316 --> 00:57:46,675
Many people use the word
"god" in terms of watchmaking.
918
00:57:49,147 --> 00:57:51,699
Sometimes it's a
bit hard because
919
00:57:51,907 --> 00:57:54,348
I get the impression they think,
920
00:57:54,405 --> 00:57:57,208
as I'm his daughter, I
should know how to do
921
00:57:57,233 --> 00:57:59,049
all the things he does.
922
00:57:59,152 --> 00:58:04,311
But I'm in school to learn
just like everyone else.
923
00:58:08,946 --> 00:58:13,716
Yeah, my hope is
that I can still work
924
00:58:13,716 --> 00:58:19,841
so I can be beside her to
follow what I have started,
925
00:58:19,866 --> 00:58:21,628
it's all I need.
926
00:58:21,956 --> 00:58:24,676
And we can change the brand
927
00:58:24,696 --> 00:58:27,726
with Philippe
Dufour and Daughter.
928
00:58:27,726 --> 00:58:29,000
Probably, why not?
929
00:58:32,138 --> 00:58:33,666
(pensive music)
930
00:58:38,516 --> 00:58:40,076
There are many times
that I wanted to stop
931
00:58:40,086 --> 00:58:42,276
my pursuit of this.
932
00:58:42,276 --> 00:58:44,166
Not because I
actually wanted to stop,
933
00:58:44,166 --> 00:58:46,686
because I feared embarrassment
of not being able
934
00:58:46,686 --> 00:58:50,199
to do what I said
I was gonna do.
935
00:58:51,810 --> 00:58:53,946
Greubel Forsey was one
of the first companies
936
00:58:53,946 --> 00:58:56,889
that I started studying,
which inspired me to design.
937
00:58:57,726 --> 00:59:00,876
Robert Greubel is literally
the first watchmaker
938
00:59:00,876 --> 00:59:03,456
that ever expressed any support
939
00:59:03,456 --> 00:59:05,856
and belief in me
in this industry.
940
00:59:05,856 --> 00:59:07,896
So honestly,
I kind of carried that
941
00:59:07,896 --> 00:59:09,576
with me through the years.
942
00:59:09,576 --> 00:59:11,856
Everybody told me
no for all these years
943
00:59:11,856 --> 00:59:14,406
and then the first
person to tell me yes
944
00:59:14,406 --> 00:59:16,236
is from the very first company
945
00:59:16,236 --> 00:59:18,519
that inspired me to
do what I wanted to do.
946
00:59:19,896 --> 00:59:22,266
I'm sorry, but hello,
that's the universe
947
00:59:22,266 --> 00:59:24,666
trying to knock you
on your head, saying,
948
00:59:24,666 --> 00:59:25,794
the hell with
these other people,
949
00:59:25,819 --> 00:59:26,869
do what you gotta do.
950
00:59:28,465 --> 00:59:31,267
(tense music)
951
00:59:45,784 --> 00:59:47,807
(music continues)
952
00:59:52,966 --> 00:59:55,116
We're headed to the
Greubel Forsey factory
953
00:59:55,116 --> 00:59:57,639
to go meet with Robert's
business partner Stephen.
954
00:59:58,436 --> 00:59:59,921
(hopeful music)
955
01:00:02,226 --> 01:00:04,836
It's like a kid growing
up who loves basketball
956
01:00:04,836 --> 01:00:06,930
and then all of a
sudden he's got, like,
957
01:00:08,337 --> 01:00:10,070
you know,
Magic Johnson
958
01:00:10,446 --> 01:00:13,386
giving him a tour of
the Staples Center,
959
01:00:13,386 --> 01:00:14,611
you know what I'm saying?
960
01:00:14,636 --> 01:00:15,836
It's that kind of deal.
961
01:00:16,716 --> 01:00:17,838
(vehicle door closing)
962
01:00:18,666 --> 01:00:21,867
It is cold... Very cold.
963
01:00:24,186 --> 01:00:26,646
- You know, Aldis,
his passion, his energy,
964
01:00:26,646 --> 01:00:29,586
is fantastic because for
him it's totally consuming.
965
01:00:29,586 --> 01:00:32,226
Often with watchmakers it is.
966
01:00:32,226 --> 01:00:34,836
You know, some people say
it's a bit like a virus.
967
01:00:34,836 --> 01:00:37,656
Once you get in, it's something
you can't leave it alone
968
01:00:37,656 --> 01:00:40,656
because there are
so many aspects to it.
969
01:00:40,656 --> 01:00:42,168
- Bonjour.
- Bonjour.
970
01:00:42,611 --> 01:00:44,117
What other new things can I see?
971
01:00:44,636 --> 01:00:46,003
- So, let's see,
I don't know if...
972
01:00:46,276 --> 01:00:47,596
- And then you can
see the passion,
973
01:00:47,616 --> 01:00:48,876
it's the passion that's driving.
974
01:00:48,876 --> 01:00:52,351
It's not just to
make a business.
975
01:00:52,376 --> 01:00:53,736
- Good to see you.
- How are you doing?
976
01:00:53,736 --> 01:00:56,071
Very good,
yeah? Good to see you.
977
01:00:56,071 --> 01:00:58,167
It's been a while since
we've had...
978
01:00:59,526 --> 01:01:01,026
You've been busy.
979
01:01:01,026 --> 01:01:02,046
- Yeah, I stay busy.
980
01:01:02,046 --> 01:01:04,209
- Mm, yeah.
- Between this.
981
01:01:05,046 --> 01:01:07,299
- He contacted
Robert with some idea
982
01:01:07,299 --> 01:01:09,006
for a design of a watch
983
01:01:09,006 --> 01:01:11,916
and then Robert picked
up on that, thought,
984
01:01:11,916 --> 01:01:13,716
you know,
there's something here.
985
01:01:13,716 --> 01:01:16,266
He's not copying
something existing.
986
01:01:16,266 --> 01:01:17,706
There's really
something different,
987
01:01:17,706 --> 01:01:19,956
there's a creative angle there
988
01:01:19,956 --> 01:01:22,716
which would be really
interesting to work with.
989
01:01:22,716 --> 01:01:24,694
- This is primarily
where we're at.
990
01:01:24,694 --> 01:01:25,717
- Mhmm.
991
01:01:26,466 --> 01:01:27,522
I see it, yeah.
992
01:01:30,156 --> 01:01:31,316
Force constant...
993
01:01:31,356 --> 01:01:33,516
- Yeah, okay, so yeah.
994
01:01:34,518 --> 01:01:35,555
So you're taking it easy, then,
995
01:01:35,580 --> 01:01:36,657
for the first piece, then?
996
01:01:36,682 --> 01:01:39,335
- Yeah, exactly.
- Nothing too complicated.
997
01:01:40,473 --> 01:01:43,109
His allyship is priceless.
998
01:01:43,109 --> 01:01:45,036
His boost of confidence
999
01:01:45,036 --> 01:01:48,006
is a big part of why
I am where I am today.
1000
01:01:48,006 --> 01:01:51,546
You know, part of it was
like, if he believed in me,
1001
01:01:51,546 --> 01:01:53,169
you couldn't tell me nothing.
1002
01:01:53,952 --> 01:01:55,201
(city noise)
1003
01:01:57,014 --> 01:01:59,886
You know me, I'ma just
be honest, I'm tired.
1004
01:01:59,886 --> 01:02:03,786
I mean, we just wrapped up
production on "Black Adam."
1005
01:02:03,786 --> 01:02:06,516
Back into the third season on
"City on a Hill" right now,
1006
01:02:06,516 --> 01:02:07,926
we're shooting this week.
1007
01:02:07,926 --> 01:02:09,726
We got WatchTime
New York this week,
1008
01:02:09,726 --> 01:02:10,989
so it's a work weekend.
1009
01:02:11,826 --> 01:02:14,649
To say I'm tired is an
understatement, as you see.
1010
01:02:14,779 --> 01:02:15,779
(laughs)
1011
01:02:16,866 --> 01:02:20,646
I finally have a non-working
prototype in my hands
1012
01:02:20,646 --> 01:02:23,289
of two years' worth
of work now, I think.
1013
01:02:24,966 --> 01:02:26,053
Let's see.
1014
01:02:27,808 --> 01:02:28,983
All right.
1015
01:02:33,546 --> 01:02:34,645
She's a beauty.
1016
01:02:36,796 --> 01:02:38,036
Look, it's my baby.
1017
01:02:39,022 --> 01:02:40,031
As you can see.
1018
01:02:41,046 --> 01:02:44,196
The piece unique dial,
the motif that I chose,
1019
01:02:44,196 --> 01:02:45,996
there's this thing,
it's called
1020
01:02:45,996 --> 01:02:47,706
the Egyptian "Book of the Dead."
1021
01:02:47,706 --> 01:02:51,366
And I saw a page as I was
going through the book
1022
01:02:51,366 --> 01:02:53,949
that for me,
it was just pure art.
1023
01:02:55,476 --> 01:02:58,506
I love African history.
1024
01:02:58,506 --> 01:03:00,126
So when it comes to this,
1025
01:03:00,126 --> 01:03:03,366
for me it is a standing
representation of elegance
1026
01:03:03,366 --> 01:03:07,386
and class and eloquence
in art, theory, academia.
1027
01:03:07,386 --> 01:03:10,146
All of these things that
are tied to my culture
1028
01:03:10,146 --> 01:03:11,856
that we don't get credit for,
1029
01:03:11,856 --> 01:03:13,743
we don't get publicly
acknowledged for.
1030
01:03:13,743 --> 01:03:16,986
And the whole point
of watchmaking for me
1031
01:03:16,986 --> 01:03:18,246
is to represent what I believe
1032
01:03:18,246 --> 01:03:20,949
is the beautiful
truth of my people.
1033
01:03:22,146 --> 01:03:24,249
It's storytelling
through the wrist.
1034
01:03:25,980 --> 01:03:27,581
You know, a lot of people
told me, "Don't do it,
1035
01:03:27,606 --> 01:03:29,436
it's gonna be hard."
1036
01:03:29,436 --> 01:03:31,386
You want me to not do something
1037
01:03:31,386 --> 01:03:33,159
because it's going to be hard?
1038
01:03:34,026 --> 01:03:35,706
That is the dumbest
thing in the world!
1039
01:03:35,706 --> 01:03:37,836
Like, everything is hard
1040
01:03:37,836 --> 01:03:42,306
but that's where you find
yourself, in the challenge.
1041
01:03:42,306 --> 01:03:43,986
It's more than just
making a product to me,
1042
01:03:43,986 --> 01:03:48,366
it's a vehicle that I use
1043
01:03:48,366 --> 01:03:52,356
to travel through my life
1044
01:03:52,356 --> 01:03:53,919
and understand what life is.
1045
01:03:55,676 --> 01:03:57,703
(gentle string music)
1046
01:04:02,476 --> 01:04:05,484
I've always been fascinated
by things which fly.
1047
01:04:05,953 --> 01:04:07,980
I'm drawn to the sky.
1048
01:04:09,156 --> 01:04:10,956
I think I'm drawn to things
1049
01:04:11,298 --> 01:04:12,978
which others are not.
1050
01:04:13,756 --> 01:04:16,108
I notice the imperceptible.
1051
01:04:19,116 --> 01:04:22,828
I think I've had a lucky star
above my head
1052
01:04:22,836 --> 01:04:24,316
which has protected me.
1053
01:04:27,556 --> 01:04:30,500
I had the incredible
fortune of meeting Flavia
1054
01:04:30,871 --> 01:04:35,306
and the meeting was
almost premeditated.
1055
01:04:35,756 --> 01:04:38,153
Before passing away,
Eveline said,
1056
01:04:38,178 --> 01:04:39,801
"You're going to meet someone.
1057
01:04:39,849 --> 01:04:42,419
Maybe even someone
who will give you a child."
1058
01:04:47,204 --> 01:04:49,995
I didn't believe her, especially
given the disastrous state
1059
01:04:50,218 --> 01:04:52,868
I saw myself heading towards.
1060
01:04:53,875 --> 01:04:55,921
But life is like that.
1061
01:05:01,516 --> 01:05:03,349
I'm 45 years old
1062
01:05:03,526 --> 01:05:04,982
and the idea of
becoming a mother,
1063
01:05:05,014 --> 01:05:07,732
because I hadn't met the
right person by that point,
1064
01:05:07,756 --> 01:05:09,489
I wasn't dreaming about it.
1065
01:05:10,630 --> 01:05:13,734
And then all of a
sudden I meet Ludovic,
1066
01:05:13,765 --> 01:05:17,711
who was coming through a
very difficult time in his life.
1067
01:05:19,436 --> 01:05:22,275
We got on so well that
we said to each other
1068
01:05:22,276 --> 01:05:26,205
the only thing that would
make it more perfect is a baby.
1069
01:05:29,596 --> 01:05:33,355
We let nature take its course
1070
01:05:33,356 --> 01:05:34,607
and it happened.
1071
01:05:41,476 --> 01:05:44,347
For me it’s really a
miracle of the universe.
1072
01:05:45,661 --> 01:05:49,460
I’m sure there is
a mystical energy
1073
01:05:49,556 --> 01:05:52,035
which follows, it
follows people.
1074
01:05:52,036 --> 01:05:56,097
Everything is planned,
already programmed.
1075
01:06:00,490 --> 01:06:02,331
Her friend gave her two
1076
01:06:02,356 --> 01:06:04,274
gynecologists’
addresses in Geneva.
1077
01:06:06,799 --> 01:06:11,515
Flavia calls them and one of
them proposes an appointment.
1078
01:06:11,516 --> 01:06:13,193
And she says to her, "I have an
1079
01:06:13,218 --> 01:06:16,461
appointment for you
on 13 March 2018."
1080
01:06:17,076 --> 01:06:21,350
And that was the date of the
anniversary of Eveline’s death.
1081
01:06:22,796 --> 01:06:25,195
We went to the gynecologist
1082
01:06:25,196 --> 01:06:30,755
and we found ourselves
in the road and the building
1083
01:06:30,756 --> 01:06:33,719
of the famous doctor
who took care of Eveline.
1084
01:06:35,316 --> 01:06:38,075
And, as if it wasn’t enough to
find ourselves on the same floor
1085
01:06:38,076 --> 01:06:41,515
we were in the same
corridor with two doors.
1086
01:06:41,516 --> 01:06:43,995
The door on the right
was the oncologist
1087
01:06:43,996 --> 01:06:47,550
and the door on the left
was the gynecologist.
1088
01:06:48,119 --> 01:06:49,861
On the right is
the door to death,
1089
01:06:49,876 --> 01:06:51,679
on the left the door to life.
1090
01:06:54,076 --> 01:06:56,078
And we chose the door to life.
1091
01:06:57,417 --> 01:07:01,084
(sweeping orchestral music)
1092
01:07:20,876 --> 01:07:22,275
I work for myself,
1093
01:07:22,276 --> 01:07:23,759
to my rhythm.
1094
01:07:25,796 --> 01:07:28,995
In the morning I am
happy to go to work
1095
01:07:28,996 --> 01:07:33,645
and I’m happy to go
back to my wife and child.
1096
01:07:36,716 --> 01:07:37,913
It’s wonderful.
1097
01:07:46,626 --> 01:07:48,279
I never expected to be here,
1098
01:07:49,116 --> 01:07:51,039
either professionally
or personally.
1099
01:07:51,876 --> 01:07:55,146
And now for the first time
in my life, I'm scared.
1100
01:07:55,146 --> 01:07:57,456
I never used to be scared.
1101
01:07:57,456 --> 01:07:59,616
There was no boundary,
I just pushed
1102
01:07:59,616 --> 01:08:02,649
and I could die, it's okay.
1103
01:08:04,266 --> 01:08:08,196
And now it's like, now I'm
scared of losing what I have.
1104
01:08:08,196 --> 01:08:09,549
In every sense.
1105
01:08:12,572 --> 01:08:13,772
(rolling waves)
1106
01:08:18,888 --> 01:08:22,116
I found a place
where I'm good at
1107
01:08:22,116 --> 01:08:26,289
and it just makes me feel
good, it makes me feel alive.
1108
01:08:32,076 --> 01:08:35,106
This more or less
unhappy childhood
1109
01:08:35,106 --> 01:08:37,629
is fueling an
incredible adulthood.
1110
01:08:38,466 --> 01:08:41,009
And that's what I'm realizing,
what's happening now.
1111
01:08:47,435 --> 01:08:51,396
Life was so much
easier and simpler
1112
01:08:51,396 --> 01:08:53,049
before I had a family.
1113
01:08:54,306 --> 01:08:55,509
But I was a machine.
1114
01:08:57,816 --> 01:08:59,706
What Tiffany and
the family brought me
1115
01:08:59,706 --> 01:09:03,129
is that I feel human
for the first time.
1116
01:09:05,616 --> 01:09:07,716
- It was already one
of his great strengths,
1117
01:09:07,716 --> 01:09:11,196
is to be genuine, as
in, he's not gonna lie.
1118
01:09:11,196 --> 01:09:12,746
He doesn't know how to do that.
1119
01:09:13,896 --> 01:09:15,036
But it's a great thing,
1120
01:09:15,036 --> 01:09:17,439
it's always going to
be straightforward.
1121
01:09:19,206 --> 01:09:22,986
I think now he has the
empathy to go with it
1122
01:09:22,986 --> 01:09:25,761
which make him look less of...
1123
01:09:27,396 --> 01:09:30,216
an asshole?
1124
01:09:30,216 --> 01:09:33,246
And more of somebody who's
willing to share his ideas
1125
01:09:33,246 --> 01:09:34,956
with a lot of generosity.
1126
01:09:34,956 --> 01:09:36,966
And that's who he is, actually,
1127
01:09:36,966 --> 01:09:39,068
a very, very generous person.
1128
01:09:39,951 --> 01:09:42,714
(gentle orchestral music)
1129
01:09:52,356 --> 01:09:54,104
- I shall give you this.
1130
01:09:54,236 --> 01:09:55,329
- Okay.
1131
01:09:55,356 --> 01:09:59,596
- And close your eyes,
keep them closed
1132
01:09:59,616 --> 01:10:02,023
'cause you have a tiny wrist.
1133
01:10:02,916 --> 01:10:04,118
Let's see.
1134
01:10:05,630 --> 01:10:07,740
(humming)
1135
01:10:11,286 --> 01:10:13,746
Yes. Perfect.
1136
01:10:13,746 --> 01:10:15,443
- Is this the final reveal?
1137
01:10:15,443 --> 01:10:18,653
- Yes, so this is
just a prototype, but...
1138
01:10:18,737 --> 01:10:19,925
- It's okay.
1139
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:23,660
(Aldis singing a fanfare)
1140
01:10:26,116 --> 01:10:27,296
Yes.
1141
01:10:28,956 --> 01:10:30,070
Here we go.
1142
01:10:32,616 --> 01:10:37,616
Oh my God. The
detail is amazing.
1143
01:10:37,726 --> 01:10:39,906
- How does it feel for you
1144
01:10:39,906 --> 01:10:43,478
to finally have
something to hold?
1145
01:10:45,755 --> 01:10:48,871
- I see my baby, I see Aldis.
1146
01:10:48,871 --> 01:10:52,175
I see 18-month-old Aldis here.
1147
01:10:52,175 --> 01:10:57,175
I see, I see that wall
he was scribbling on
1148
01:10:57,201 --> 01:11:01,389
and I see the artwork.
1149
01:11:01,596 --> 01:11:04,956
Aldis kept pursuing
what he wanted to do
1150
01:11:04,956 --> 01:11:06,456
and he's doing it.
1151
01:11:06,456 --> 01:11:11,456
And he did it on his own,
and so we, you know, I,
1152
01:11:11,706 --> 01:11:17,018
I was so happy for my baby
because he did it, you know?
1153
01:11:17,043 --> 01:11:18,710
I'm sorry, but he...
1154
01:11:18,716 --> 01:11:19,755
- You okay, Mom?
1155
01:11:19,787 --> 01:11:23,376
- Yeah, I'm okay but,
you know, it's sad
1156
01:11:23,376 --> 01:11:26,046
because nobody helped him,
you know?
1157
01:11:26,046 --> 01:11:27,966
Nobody would help
and they just kept
1158
01:11:27,966 --> 01:11:29,766
shutting them doors on you.
1159
01:11:29,766 --> 01:11:32,796
So we kept pushing
and pushing and pushing
1160
01:11:32,796 --> 01:11:34,386
and we're here now.
1161
01:11:34,386 --> 01:11:36,786
We're here, world,
and he's here.
1162
01:11:36,786 --> 01:11:43,088
So, you know, welcome
my son A. Hodge Atelier.
1163
01:11:43,276 --> 01:11:46,396
Here it is. Save up your
coins 'cause we're here.
1164
01:11:46,406 --> 01:11:47,564
- Mom!
1165
01:11:48,409 --> 01:11:49,575
Really, Mom?
1166
01:11:49,575 --> 01:11:52,749
- Yes, save them coins!
1167
01:11:53,978 --> 01:11:58,493
Yes, so I'm proud. I'm just
really proud, you know.
1168
01:11:59,652 --> 01:12:02,235
(gentle music)
1169
01:12:12,242 --> 01:12:13,442
(rolling waves)
1170
01:12:21,516 --> 01:12:23,434
Now life is beautiful.
1171
01:12:23,636 --> 01:12:28,791
And I appreciate it all the more
after what I have been through.
1172
01:12:30,556 --> 01:12:33,359
I lost one love,
I found two more.
1173
01:12:36,396 --> 01:12:42,235
I’ve got a strong belief
in the beauty of things
1174
01:12:42,236 --> 01:12:44,026
and the power of human beings.
1175
01:12:51,476 --> 01:12:54,356
I still have a lot of
pleasure doing what I'm doing.
1176
01:12:54,366 --> 01:12:56,458
You know,
every time a watch is finished
1177
01:12:56,458 --> 01:12:58,433
it's like a buzz, you know?
1178
01:12:58,433 --> 01:13:01,686
And if that watch can give
pleasure at end of the world,
1179
01:13:01,686 --> 01:13:03,077
the circle is closed.
1180
01:13:03,276 --> 01:13:04,636
(music continues)
1181
01:13:06,556 --> 01:13:09,516
I'm making something that,
with the intended purpose
1182
01:13:09,516 --> 01:13:12,606
of it outliving me,
outlasting me.
1183
01:13:12,606 --> 01:13:16,416
So that it can continue
to have the conversation
1184
01:13:16,416 --> 01:13:17,891
that I started today.
1185
01:13:22,476 --> 01:13:25,296
And we measure
our lives by numbers,
1186
01:13:25,296 --> 01:13:28,419
accomplishments,
milestones in our life.
1187
01:13:32,406 --> 01:13:34,716
Timekeeping gives
us a tactile way
1188
01:13:34,716 --> 01:13:37,626
to measure our existence here.
1189
01:13:37,626 --> 01:13:39,036
Everything we make
and everything we do
1190
01:13:39,036 --> 01:13:41,556
is really a reflection of
what we've been through
1191
01:13:41,556 --> 01:13:43,089
and what we have learned.
1192
01:13:44,876 --> 01:13:48,744
The journey of
why we do what we do
1193
01:13:48,876 --> 01:13:51,309
is actually more
important than what we do.
1194
01:13:52,656 --> 01:13:55,356
The decisions
we've taken in life,
1195
01:13:55,356 --> 01:13:59,679
the stands we've taken, the
dreams we have, and we've had.
1196
01:14:01,026 --> 01:14:04,063
Everything we've
sacrificed to get there.
1197
01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:06,532
(music builds)
1198
01:14:07,195 --> 01:14:08,395
(pumping sound)
1199
01:14:10,996 --> 01:14:12,356
(watch mechanics)
1200
01:14:18,096 --> 01:14:22,085
If you die and 10
minutes before you die,
1201
01:14:22,085 --> 01:14:27,085
you can look in the
back and see two traces.
1202
01:14:28,716 --> 01:14:30,755
One trace of love
1203
01:14:30,755 --> 01:14:33,519
and one trace of
passion in your job,
1204
01:14:34,686 --> 01:14:39,516
then you have the impression,
wow, I did something.
1205
01:14:39,516 --> 01:14:45,284
That means I have given
back what life has given me.
1206
01:14:46,056 --> 01:14:49,779
And before leaving, I give back!
1207
01:14:51,096 --> 01:14:52,386
That's success!
1208
01:14:52,436 --> 01:14:53,630
(sweeping orchestral music)
