From the listing:

Coppola extended an invitation for François-Paul Journe to visit him at his Inglenook winery in the Napa Valley. Their meeting in 2012 was creatively fruitful, with Coppola, long fascinated by historic automatons, asking Journe if a human hand had ever been used, or could be used to indicate time. With no timepieces known to have ever been produced using a human hand, the seeds were planted in Journe’s mind to figure out a way to indicate the passage of time using a single hand.

From 2016. Also:

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

This is the most horrific trophy I’ve ever seen. It looks like a cursed object found in a desert crypt.

The Drag Me to Hell trophy

Person who actually deserves a trophy is the artist who made the FIFA peace prize trophy look like everyone in the entire world holding their head in their hands out of secondhand embarrassment

obviously this is pretty funny, but making up an award for someone famous to get them to show up at your event is one of the oldest booking tricks out there https://t.co/hOsNubK3tS
