To be perfectly honest, I had to be reminded of most of these. As the credits roll, it’s never the jewellery worn on screen that sticks in my mind. I can remember countless other details but the jewellery, never. I’m more Marilyn than diamonds. That she wears gowns and jewels fit for a queen makes no difference. For me her charm lies elsewhere and frankly, if it depended solely on her wardrobe, how sad and empty it would be.

No matter if the news from the retail front is deceptive, if for some sell-out is cause for concern; tired faces will have had a UV pick-me-up, hands will be shaken, backs slapped, secrets well-kept. For once we have the impression we are “at the centre of the universe”, so why spoil things? But everyone knows: oil is at the centre of the universe, rare earths are at the centre of the universe, chemicals are at the centre of the universe. But watches?

Espontáneamente asociamos Chanel con dos colores esenciales: el blanco y el negro. La propia Gabrielle Chanel declaró y demostró que “el negro lo tiene todo. El blanco también. Poseen una belleza absoluta. Están en perfecta armonía”. Prueba adicional: el J12 debutó en el año 2000 con un diseño de cerámica negra, y regresó en 2003 revestido de cerámica blanca. Colores poco comunes en la relojería y creaciones que marcaron la llegada de la cerámica como material noble para la medición del tiempo.

Your browser does not support the audio element. We spontaneously associate Chanel with two essential colourways: black and white. Gabrielle Chanel herself declared, and demonstrated, that “black has everything. White too. They have an absolute beauty. They are in perfect harmony.”Further proof, the J12 made its debut in 2000 in a black ceramic livery, returning in 2003 clad in white ceramic.

There he opened a small shop selling oils (including whale oil) and paraffin.

Resulta tentador comparar a los relojeros de Les Cabinotiers de Vacheron Constantin con Penélope, que tejen, destejen y vuelven a tejer día tras día. La imagen cobra relieve cuando nos enteramos de que se tardó un año entero únicamente en ensamblar el movimiento, primero como un “ensamblaje de prueba” para verificar cada detalle, después se desmontó, se decoró y se volvió a ensamblar. 2.877 componentes, 2.877 hilos en un tapiz.

Your browser does not support the audio element. It’s tempting to compare the watchmakers at Vacheron Constantin’s Les Cabinotiers to Penelopes who weave, unweave and reweave, day after day. The image comes into relief when we learn that it took an entire year solely to assemble the movement, first as a “trial assembly” to verify every detail, following which it was taken apart, decorated and assembled all over again. 2,877 components, 2,877 threads in a tapestry.

Hace poco, en una de esas grandes conferencias de Silicon Valley, nos dijeron que, dentro de poco, ya no será posible distinguir una voz sintética de la de un ser humano real. Ya no tendremos la certeza de si estamos hablando con una máquina “inteligente” o con un ser real de carne y hueso, por muy inteligente o estúpido que sea (y si es estúpido, probablemente sea una señal fiable de que es humano.
