Obviously, it makes me feel like I'm Dre or Pharrell because in my mind, I am.
0:05
That's what GarageBand does, it makes you feel like you can do the impossible and then you send your song to your homies, they laugh at you.
0:17
It doesn't matter because I don't laugh at me and GarageBand didn't laugh at me.
0:21
Hey, what's happening GQ?
0:21
This is Aldous Hodge and these are my 10 Essentials.
0:26
First up, my sketch pad.
0:31
Look at this beauty, bam!
0:31
This book has been with me as long as I have been a horological designer.
0:44
I started designing watches randomly for a school project and I sort of became enamored with the idea of the movements, the intricacies of the composition when it comes to gear trades, things like that.
0:56
I just dove deep in around like 18, 19 years old and I've been designing ever since.
1:01
As you can see, it is very much well worn.
1:03
I've kept it up with the advent of magical tape.
1:06
Every now and then I'll throw a sticker on there as you see, Black Adam.
1:09
The most special sticker here is this one, Golden Heart.
1:14
When I had my daughter, she was born early, she was in the NICU for like two months.
1:19
They used Golden Hearts to tape their wires and breathing apparatus to them, so this is one for my daughter.
1:24
She represents everything for me: strength, belief, hope.
1:28
And that's what this book is.
1:29
All my dreams in here, everything comes down to that first design.
1:31
So this is probably my most prized and precious material possession.
1:40
When it comes to drafting and designing, you need a good pencil, and that leads me to my number two essential: my Muji mechanical pencils.
1:52
Legit, I love that store.
1:52
I love everything Muji, it's just amazing.
1:55
They give you the most simple, basic things in the best package possible.
1:59
But for me, 0.5 millimeter pencil, this thing is what I use for every single thing.
2:05
It's how I start, it's how I finish.
2:07
If I am sitting anywhere and I do not have one of these pencils, I get a great deal of anxiety because then I cannot work.
2:15
I just love Muji, they do some cool stuff.
2:17
I go in there, I buy about 20, 30, 40, 50 pencils just so I'm never in short supply.
2:22
You would not catch me out in these streets slipping, just saying, boom.
2:26
I gotta carry all of this in something, my Tumi bookbag, boom.
2:33
Tumi, first of all, every time you get a bag, I love how they monogram it, ABS, you know what I'm saying?
2:33
Got me feeling important, got me feeling special and fancy.
2:33
I'm like, "Okay, I'm Mr. High Jump in here."
2:33
You know, you know, it's practical, it's well made, but they also have really nice designs.
2:33
When I think about design DNA, I think Tumi has that.
2:51
I got some hand sanitizer, got to keep that on hand, you know what I'm saying, 'cause out in these streets be wild.
3:00
I got some lotion because you know, ashy knuckles is, it's a situation.
3:00
Not about to be out here shaming my mama.
3:00
I specifically look for the bags with all the compartments that can hold all of my stuff: sketch pads, my pencils, to my computers, to my paperwork, to my passport, all that.
3:00
I don't know why I need all this stuff.
3:00
I mean, this bag is at least 50 pounds, probably why I got back problems.
3:00
In fact, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it is the reason I got back problems, but it's worth it because I need my stuff.
3:27
That leads me to my next essential, which is my laptop, essential number four.
3:35
This is where a lot of my life lives because I got a lot of things to put up on this joint.
3:42
Obviously, Final Draft because if you're a writer, that's a staple.
3:45
Things like SolidWorks.
3:52
SolidWorks is premiere for any sort of designer or design engineer.
3:52
iMovie, when it comes to editing, it's actually pretty awesome.
3:53
And GarageBand.
3:57
Whenever I'm writing a movie, I by no means am a producer, but I like to play around with a GarageBand to create tracks that I use to become the pulse of my films as I see them in my head.
3:57
Plus, I got two terabytes.
3:57
Yeah.
3:57
Oh, that's a lot of space.
4:09
We're gonna move to literature, holy grail right here when it comes to horological knowledge.
4:16
I'm shuffling through these books right here to go do my, my Fang.
4:24
George Daniels, his brother wrote the Bible.
4:29
George Daniels' watchmaking, it's going to teach you about practical application to horology.
4:29
Also got Complicated Watchmaking, Francois Lequime, if anybody digs into watches, you might know that name.
4:43
And then this book right here by J.R. Caswell, horology, it gives you the base foundation so that you can approach the mathematics in an easier way.
4:57
Simplifying any complicated means of design is how you define your own DNA as a designer, simplify everything.
4:57
Number six, what is the culmination of learning those things, practical design?
4:57
Now I have a non-working prototype.
4:57
People are always saying, "Well, why do you have a non-working watch?"
4:57
Because you show the process, you show the progress.
4:57
Jumping into Black Adam, I immediately hit my manufacturing partner.
4:57
I want to just show a piece of scope of an idea, what it could be and, you know, show that on my character because the filmmakers were gracious enough to let me do so.
4:57
So I created a peace unique dial.
5:30
The dial itself was a dial that I designed explicitly for my character, Carter Hall, to represent his lineage.
5:37
There are different iterations of his backstory, but one of them is Prince Khufu.
5:40
He was an Egyptian prince.
5:43
I looked through the Egyptian Book of the Dead as a motif for the style that I felt was quite significant and representational of Carter Hall for who he is and where we meet him in the film.
5:57
You know, we have a lot of temporary metals like brass, steel, calfskin on the strap, a butterfly deployment clasp, but the design is not finalized.
6:00
But, you know, this allows me to get a sense of the feel on the wrist and the weight.
6:06
So for me, this will forever remain a huge staple in the process that legitimizes me in the space as someone who is committed to the true craft of horology.
6:20
At the same time, it allows me to wear something super cool in the film and I get to also wear my own prototype that I've also been working on for about 15, 16 years.
6:20
This is just a very early step towards the process of something that you will see hopefully very soon.
6:20
Your boy loves jewelry, but look, I'm not trying to be bling.
6:20
Now, that's not the point.
6:20
Very much a different trait than making watches.
6:20
Both my sister, my mother are gemologists.
6:20
This ring right here, now the primary stone here is garnet.
6:20
Colors match Hawkman's costume, beautiful, wonderfully, perfectly, but I chose garnet because it is my mother's favorite stone.
6:20
So for me, there's a couple personal ties there, but this is a ring that they made for Hawkman which I wear proudly in the movie, which I'm really grateful for and I love.
6:20
I'm going to cherish this forever.
7:08
When I think about men's jewelry and being able to have creative options, David Yurman is a spot.
7:16
I love what they do.
7:16
I mean, right now I'm wearing two of their gold chains, box chains.
7:16
I'm also wearing two of their spinel pieces, their spinel necklaces, which for me, I love just because the stone spinel is awesome.
7:16
It also is very similar to my other favorite stone, which is black diamonds as you see here.
7:16
Boom, and boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
7:16
It is a diamond that is not highly prioritized or highly valued amongst the space of diamonds, but it's one that I value greatly.
7:42
In all its darkness, it still reflects grand light in the greatest way possible.
7:49
Being an actor coming up, I've been opposed to simply because of the color of my skin, but I've had to shine, baby, shine.
7:56
In this little stone, I can find some kinship in that.
8:00
Even if the rest of the world doesn't look at you in the same way or values you the same way, you still deserve to be valued, you still are beautiful.
8:05
So for me, I think black diamonds and I will always have a relationship.
8:09
Now we move on to essential number eight, your boy got to smell good, I got to smell fresh.
8:22
In comes YSL Le Nuit.
8:26
Obviously, you see I've used up most of it because this stuff is awesome.
8:29
It is cool to find a cool cologne that works with your whole body.
8:38
Like people don't realize you can't just spray on something, it's going to smell good on everybody.
8:38
It mixes with your natural scents metabolically creating a whole new scent.
8:38
And some folks walk around here feeling good, feeling like they're smelling fresh, they just be stinking.
8:38
Me, when I tried this cologne, I found my spot, my place and I was like, "Oh, this is it, this is hidden, this is my goal."
8:59
And that pushes me to essential number nine, Carol's Daughter.
9:07
Now Carol, we never met you and your daughter, whatever y'all be making, I really appreciate your work.
9:14
I deal with a lot of dandruff, sometimes be a little dry because, you know, your boy doesn't drink a whole lot of water like I should be.
9:21
Looking like the Alps up here, your boy be flaky in these streets and I'm not ashamed to just let you know.
9:24
And this is definitely a staple, grow up knowing about Carol's Daughter.
9:28
Obviously, got a mom, got a sister, you know what I'm saying?
9:31
So for some reason, it hits, it works and it smells good.
9:41
Back to this, back to the scents, people, lesson of the day, smell good, simple.
9:41
I had gotten a really bad rash breakout over my face in the middle of shooting.
9:49
I was like, "I gotta go to work the next day, this looks terrible, how am I gonna fix it up?"
9:58
So I spoke to a great friend of mine, Miss Debbie, a legendary makeup artist.
10:03
So she put me in touch with her colleague, Dr. Saeeda Salam, who created this brand, Shuishi.
10:09
Her and her sister, both of them are black women who started this brand, who understand hyperpigmentation, who understand how the skin is affected, especially dealing with gradients and variations when it comes to different types of ethnic skin, things like that.
10:09
Her products know how to deal with all of this wonderful chocolatiness.
10:09
I've been rocking with this product ever since 2018.
10:37
I take it everywhere I go.
10:49
Every single set of mine, I'm using Shuishi.
10:49
There are many other cool products that come along with what they make and I would present them now, but unfortunately my lady took them all because apparently in my house, hey, let's share, this means she gonna take it, especially when it comes to good skincare products.
10:49
So your boy's out here barely holding on.
10:53
So Dr. Saeeda, can you hook your boy up with a couple more pieces on the low low so I can hide them from my girl?
11:02
I'm not ashamed to admit, I'm finna hide all my good stuff 'cause she keep taking my stuff.
11:07
My people, thank you for taking that journey with me.
11:12
These are my 10 Essentials.
11:12
Love, love, love sharing this with you.
11:15
I hope you take it home with you, so thank you for watching and I will see you on the next one.
11:20
Peace.
