A series of assets, films and images, for a global campaign dedicated to the FREAK [S Nomad], broadcast especially on social media, on the brand's website and in the booth during Watches and Wonders Geneva. These contents showcase the FREAK [S Nomad] and its main features, especially the guilloché dial – a mix between an ancestral craftsmanship and cutting-edge technology.

The FREAK [S Nomad] has no dial, no hands, and no crown. Its carousel “drone” movement, featuring a double oscillator, inspired the concept “Expanding Horizons”, where we chose to explore the notions of travel and verticality, staging this “drone” movement like a spaceship flying over natural landscapes.

These landscapes mirror the materials and finishes of the watch: the ripples on the dunes echo the guilloché pattern of the dial, while an aerial view of rice fields evokes the textures of Carbonium® Gold used for the watch’s horns.

 

Separated elements

 

We create the entire watch and its components in CGI.
To make a focus on the main features of the FREAK [S Nomad], we integrate the most important watch components in the landscapes. As we decided to isolate them one by one to show them off-scale, this means to rework the finishing to reach the best render.

 

ADDITIONAL CONTENTS

We also created additional videos to enhance the stand at the Watches and Wonders fair. Two massive screens covered each side of the booth, immersing visitors in a simulated journey through the clouds. These looping videos, titled “Lift-Off,” take viewers on a ride through the sky, following the watch’s components as they travel.
