VERO

For the launch of the Vero SW-Q, our team at Vanguard Media House wanted to move beyond traditional lifestyle shots. We developed the original concept of a seamless "Match Cut" sequence, where the watch dial remains perfectly static and centered while the background shifts instantly through a dozen different environments.

Engineering the Vision: The Custom Match-Cut Jig

To execute our vision, we realized that standard filming techniques wouldn't provide the pixel-perfect alignment required. We took the project into the workshop, designing and building a custom mechanical mounting jig specifically for this shoot. This proprietary rig locked the SW-Q watch to the camera’s optical axis, allowing us to maintain the exact same composition from the studio to the mountain peak.

"The idea was simple but the execution was rigorous: Make the watch the heartbeat of the frame. By engineering our own mounting solution, we were able to bring our 'static watch/shifting world' concept to life, ensuring the craftsmanship of the SW-Q remained the only constant in a changing landscape.

By combining our original creative concept with custom mechanical engineering, we produced a film that is as much a technical achievement as it is a marketing asset. Every transition is frame-accurate, highlighting the rugged durability of the SW-Q in a way that feels hypnotic and effortless. This project exemplifies the Vanguard approach: If the tool doesn't exist for our vision, we build it.
