Moneypenny: The Agent Bond Trusts
Naomie Harris, dressed in a pristine white dress, greeted the press with a smile. We asked her about her experience filming the latest installment of the 007 series, in which she reprises her role as Moneypenny from the previous film,"Skyfall".
"When I said I was going to be in a Bond film, everyone around me reacted with 'Wow,' and at first, I felt a little intimidated by their response. But once filming began, director Sam Mendes created an environment where I could act freely and relax, allowing me to focus on my performance.
There's a family-like bond among everyone involved in a Bond film. Their loyalty and passion for the movie are immense, creating a strong connection I haven't experienced in other films. I believe this is one of the film's greatest strengths."
Harris, who possesses both the intelligence of her character and a charming, cute demeanor, described Moneypenny as "a very strong woman, humanly speaking. She's independent but also has a playful side, making her a captivating character."
The watch she wore on the day of the interview was the OMEGA De Ville Prestige Butterfly Jewellery, its pure white strap beautifully accenting her wrist. Harris believes there's a common thread between OMEGA watches and the Bond films.
"OMEGA watches are elegant and timeless. The meticulous attention to detail and the exquisite craftsmanship perfectly align with the spirit of James Bond."
Harris, who is currently partnered with OMEGA, wore a rare 1955 OMEGA secret watch at the "Spectre" world premiere in London, captivating all eyes.
"Actually, I didn't know it was a million-dollar watch when I wore it, and I was shocked when I heard the price later. I genuinely thought it was a beautiful watch, so I enjoyed wearing it. I'm truly delighted to have had the opportunity to wear a timepiece that is like a work of art."
The secret watch she wore is a luxurious piece, adorned with 44 diamonds on the bracelet and 11 on the case cover. This impeccably designed, radiant model added an extra layer of brilliance to Naomie Harris's own beauty.
