Creative Execution

Our creation was at the heart of Jaeger-LeCoultre's stand: - The astral-themed inspirational film - A digitally equipped telescope, offering visitors a virtual reality experience to discover Jaeger-LeCoultre's astral universe. Our world-class copy-written video brought together the origins of horology, the astral inspiration and the creativity of Jaeger-LeCoultre in bringing the astral theme to life. We reinforced the emotion of the video with an epic and uplifting soundtrack. To immerse visitors in Jaeger-LeCoultre's astral universe, we created a digitally equipped telescope with a virtual reality application activated on an iPhone 6+.

The response of visitors in the stand was enthusiastic, many were 'over the moon'. The contacts in the stand and enthusiasme of the professional contacts lead to the continued use of the astral video and virtual telescope throughout the year. After the huge success at the SIHH, Jaeger-LeCoultre invited the agency to create a twin telescope, to travel and amaze the world. It is used in other events and in pop-up stores. The company labelled the response to the stand realisation as 'excelllent'.

For luxury watchmaking brands, the exclusive professional Geneva SIHH fair is the annual key event to generate awareness and business. Jaeger-LeCoultre challenged us to enhance their image, conveying excellence, elegance and modernity: make the stand an exceptional experience, showcasing the 2015 astral theme, while adding digital bravoure to the professional encounter. Our creative insight: invite visitors to look up to the sky, to be immersed into the marvels and mysteries of the universe, while paying tribute to the astral theme, the infinitely big and small. The project sprung from two sources of inspiration: - Vintage astronomic illustrations to add a feeling of ageless history and elegance, - Polygons and geometric shapes influenced by the latest design of the legendary Atmos clock, to add a touch of modernity. We combined first class video with an innovative 3D telescope animation to 'capture' the visitors.
