...Supporting Vaughn as the black sheep of the Claus clan and Paul Giamatti as Santa, the picture's got three Academy Award winners: Kathy Bates as their mother, Rachel Weisz as Fred's ill-used girlfriend and Kevin Spacey as a corporate type threatening to close down Santa's workshop. Giamatti and Miranda Richardson, who plays his wife, have been Oscar-nominated. Even Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, who has a bit as the North Pole's DJ, is a Grammy-winner. From pedigree alone, the movie should have been good...

In a tucked-away workshop, that's exactly what Suekichi does - working with old parts, he crafts watches one might imagine being worn by characters in a Jules Verne novel. Some 6,000 have been sold in the past 12 years - a very respectable figure, considering the amount one unhurried artisan can produce, and a demonstration of Suekichi's ability to imagine everyday objects afresh...
