he used to produce these fabulously beautiful watches.

And one day, one of his customers came into his workshop

and asked him to clean the watch that he'd bought.

and one of the things he pulled out was one of the balance wheels.

that on the back side of the balance wheel was an engraving,

And the watchmaker turned around and said,

but at that point, I noticed something happening here.

in this plexus of blood vessels and nerves,

and there must be some muscles in there as well somewhere, I guess.

And from that point on, from my age at the time,

I began to think of things in a different way.

And as I took on my career as a designer,

I began to ask myself the simple question:

Now you probably know the answer to this already.

You probably think, well, I don't know which one you think it is,

And so I then moved on into my design career

One of the most early work was done in automotive design --

we found something, or I found something,

that really fascinated me, and maybe you can remember it.

Do you remember when lights used to just go on and off,

click click, when you closed the door in a car?

Do you remember the first time you were in a car and it did that?

I remember sitting there thinking, this is fantastic.

that doesn't like the light that goes out slowly.

I thought, well what the hell's that about?

So I started to ask myself questions about it.

And the first was, I'd ask other people: "Do you like it?" "Yes."

"Why?" And they'd say, "Oh, it feels so natural,"

because, as a designer, I need the vocabulary, I need the keyboard,

that there was something that did exactly that --

For the next 14 minutes or whatever it is,

I don't need you to think so much as I want you to feel it.

And when that happens, are you sitting there going,

or are you going, "That's fantastic. I'm looking forward to it.

I don't know even if there is something called a conditioned reflex.

Because the people I speak to in the northern hemisphere

that have never seen a movie or been to the theater

So this leads me to think of this in a different way.

We're not feeling it. We're thinking beauty is in the limbic system --

These are the bits, the pleasure centers,

and maybe what I'm seeing and sensing and feeling
