"With this campaign, we want to target tech-savvy people in particular and show that the 'smartness' of the purely mechanical IWC Portugieser Perpetual Calendar doesn't even have to hide behind so-called smartwatches - quite the opposite," explains Jörg Waschescio, Creative Director at Scholz & Friends Berlin. "In the end, however, we leave it up to the viewer to judge what 'smart' really means to them."
 
Features like update cycle, battery runtime, and user-friendliness are addressed in three spots.
 
The campaign will be rolled out worldwide - with the support of OOH motifs.
