Luxury Swiss watchmaker creates cinematic dream team with four Hollywood superstars who will feature in the Maison’s ads.
Breitling recently announced the members of the first Breitling Cinema Squads. Breitling watches have always featured prominently on the wrsits of eminent actors throughout the ages, including Sean Connery as James Bond in Thunderball in 1965 and more recently Leonardo DiCaprio in Blood Diamond in 2006.
And now, with the new concept Squads, the revered Swiss watchmaker further cements its illustrious relationship with the cinematic world by signing up four outstanding actors to its first team: Brad Pitt, Charlize Theron, Adam Driver, and Daniel Wu.
The stars of the Silver Screen will be soon appearing in different squad combinations and settings as part of Breitling’s new advertising campaigns.
“At Breitling, we believe in the power of a team, the strength of a group, and the mutual identification of a common target, which ultimately leads to success,” says Georges Kern, the CEO of Breitling.
He adds, “We aim for authenticity, credibility, and honesty for our brand and our products, as well as in our interactions with our clients. The same applies for each of the squads. We are going to launch several of them, from sports to the arts, covering different areas of activity linked to our thematic worlds: air, sea, and land.
“Our squad members – world-famous or not – will be absolute masters in their respective fields. I am very much looking forward to seeing them soon, going on individual or shared challenges in one of the Breitling environments.”
