Apple hired Newson, a close friend of chief designer Jony Ive, last month, according to Vanity Fair.

It's unclear exactly what Newson will work on at Apple, though his experience designing timepieces suggests he may be involved in future iterations of the Apple Watch.

Apple may have also hired Newson to keep Ive at the company.

Businessweek talked to some former Apple executives who suggested bringing Newson on could be Apple's way of retaining Ive's interest in working there, as he's already become the world's most famous living designer.
