Watches of Switzerland Australia releases ‘The Journey’ national brand campaign via Moonsail

This year is a special one for Watches of Switzerland Australia – it marks 25 years since the family-owned luxury watch retailer opened its doors. To celebrate this truly special moment in time, a brand campaign via Moonsail, titled ‘The Journey’, has been rolled out nationally.

 

The emotive campaign, created by Moonsail and brought to life by Beautiful Pictures and Natalie Matthias Music Composition, focusses on the journey of a man devoted to extraordinary timepieces, from his childhood through to adulthood – the 90s through to now – and the passing on of this passion through generations. Each of his significant life milestones is rewarded with a truly outstanding timepiece of the relevant era. The viewer is then prompted to begin their own extraordinary journey. Each piece featured in the film is available front and centre at the e-commerce level, along with the featured watch box, hand-crafted in Italy specifically for WoS and exclusively available to the most VIP of clients who have been there along their 25 year journey.

“25 years of extraordinary. Start your extraordinary journey.”

Moonsail Creative Partner, Paul Coghlan, said: “It was a privilege to bring this campaign to life and help WoS celebrate such an extraordinary milestone. 25 years is a solid journey, and some of their customers have been there from the start, carrying their devotion through to the next generations. Hats off to Beautiful Pictures and WA’s hard-working, world-class production specialists including Natalie Matthias Music Composition who created the fantastic original score – we couldn’t be prouder.”

Sam van der Griend, Managing Director of Watches of Switzerland, said: “Moonsail and their partners have again gone above and beyond to create our new campaign to celebrate our 25th Anniversary. Paul, Matt and the entire team were deeply involved in making it come to life. From its inception, to the execution, Moonsail were able to completely understand our brief and investigate on a deeper level what we wanted to achieve. I am so proud of the quality of what we have produced, and how it represents the values of Watches of Switzerland to our clients.”

Moonsail Creative Partner, Matt Nankivell, said: “Watches of Switzerland is a truly world-class business – with unparalleled service, products and operations. It has been a huge honour to help elevate their brand and comms to this same level of excellence over the past year, and further bolster their positioning as Australia’s leading watch retailer. We look forward to continuing this enjoyable partnership (a relationship that really does feel like a partnership) and creating work that continues to lift WoS to new heights.”
