When he's not on set, the talented, multi-hyphenate artist is working on his burgeoning watchmaking career.
. Those were the companies that intrigued me because again, I was coming from architecture and design. It all made sense to me when it came to their aesthetic DNA.Right now one of my favorite architects is Tom Kundig, who has a company called Olson Kundig Associates. I think their designs are really forward-thinking, kind of like [those of] John Lautner or Frank Lloyd Wright, Frank Gehry. Those guys are the ones I grew up on.
Frank Gehry, of course, has a very specific style with his metalwork. I was watching a documentary on him; he said that sometimes he just takes aluminum, crumples it up, and whatever the shape it’s in, that’s what he goes for. But he has a very specific imprint—youhim, you’re gonna think about him first. And that all applies to watchmaking. Robert Greubel once told me that you have to define your DNA—that you have to think 10 and 20 years in the future—because people need to see that same DNA.
How do you balance a career in a field as intensive and time-consuming as acting with one in watchmaking? [Laughs] I don’t know if balance is a word that’s in my vocabulary! I’m kind of flying by the seat of my pants in all honesty. Right now my watch company, in terms of management, it’s really all me. I have a manufacturing partner right now that’s handling the production end of things. I don’t have the time to produce my pieces myself by hand. An associate of mine, Roger Smith, who’s brilliant and one of the best in the game, he’s one of the very few producing by hand.
In terms of the other side of bringing it to market—presentation and introducing my piece—I don’t really expect challenges there. There are gonna be enough people who will like it, and it doesn’t matter if it takes me a year to sell them, or five or 10 years. All that matters is that I’ve started, and I’ll have that start regardless.
