| 哲学 | CELEBRATING THE FUTURE, NOT THE PAST In 2023 the most iconic racing chronograph ever celebrates its 60th birthday. The TAG Heuer Carrera has so much history it would have been easy to cling to the past. But the Carrera has a different mindset. A pioneering one. It’s always been about breaking new ground and pushing the limits. This is the original racing chronograph, born in 1963: it has nothing to prove. So, in a watchmaking world that’s all about heritage and savoir faire, DDB Paris created a campaign that celebrates the Carrera by breaking all the rules of the category. “TAG Heuer Carrera is one of the most iconic collections, not only for TAG Heuer but in the whole watchmaking world. It was designed by Jack Heuer himself in 1963 and inspired by the Carrera Panamericana, a very dangerous road race in Mexico. Some of the greatest drivers in history have worn it. So we wanted to celebrate its 60 years with something really special. — George Ciz, Chief Marketing Officer , TAG Heuer. Produced by David Leitch’s 87 North, the film goes far beyond advertising. It’s an action-packed piece of entertainment that lives up to Hollywood standards, filled with crazy stunts, racing cars, adrenaline, and humor. You wouldn’t expect less from a collaboration with David Leitch — responsible for some of the most iconic action films of the last decade, from John Wick to Deadpool 2 to last year’s Bullet Train — Nash Edgerton, and of course, starring world famous actor Ryan Gosling. The campaign will live on all year through OOH, print and exclusive content on all social media platforms (behind the scenes, videos, bloopers, memes…) While pushing the boundaries of the watchmaking market, TAG Heuer reconnects with its own tradition of innovative and witty advertising, relying on Ryan Gosling’s taste for self-irony and David Leitch’s talent for mixing action with humor. The race is on for the next 60 years. |
