마크 뉴슨이 디진(DeZeen)과의 인터뷰에서 자신이 새로 디자인한 새 제품과 애플에서의 자신의 역할에 대해서 얘기했습니다.

새로운 제품은 하이네켄과 함께 만든 SUB라는 이름에 가정용 맥주 머신인데... 생긴게 완전 맥프로.

애플에서의 자신의 역할에 대해서는... 대충 적으면

애플에서의 자신의 역할은 어떤 특별한 이유에서 많은 시간을 요구하지 않는다. 자신의 회사도 그대로 있고 자신도 영국에서 머물고 있다.

어떤 일인지는 절대 말 못하며, 말하면 바로 해고다.

애플 와치 디자인에 참여했는가? - 말할 수 없다.

기계식 시계에 대해서는? - 기계식 시계의 존재이유도 확실히 있다. 자신이 그쪽에 많이 아는 것은 아지만, 매출 또한 계속 성장하고 있는 걸로 안다.

Amy Frearson: You've taken on quite a major role with Apple, do you think you'll still have time to work on these kinds of project as well?

Marc Newson: Yes absolutely, because my role at Apple doesn't necessitate all of my time and that was for very specific reasons, so absolutely, my company still exists and I remain based in the UK.

Amy Frearson: And can you tell me what you're working on at Apple?

Marc Newson: Not really! Sorry!

Mark van Iterson: They'll fire him immediately if he does.

Marc Newson: And I've only just started!

Amy Frearson: Can you tell me if you were involved in the watch design?

Marc Newson: Apparently I can't.

PR Lady: Sorry we can't answer that, sorry.

Amy Frearson: Maybe I could ask you another question. With your background in watch design, can you tell me what you think is the future of the traditional watch?

Marc Newson: There will always be a place for mechanical watches. Apart from telling the time – which is all they do – they're about something completely different. You know, I think that the mechanical watch industry will continue to exist in much the same way as it does right now. To be honest I'm not really intimately aware of what's happening with the world of mechanical watches right now.

Mark van Iterson: We have two wrists – one doesn't exclude the other!

Marc Newson: Absolutely. But I'm sure as sales have increased in recent times, they will continue to increase for that particular type of product.
