Condor Films travels to the Galapagos Islands with IWC
Condor Films has once again produced a product film this year for the Schaffhausen-based watch manufacturer IWC. The goal was to showcase the relaunch of the Aquatimer product family and link it to the partnership between IWC and the Charles Darwin Foundation.
Condor Films has once again produced a product film for the Schaffhausen watch manufacturer IWC this year. In 2008, the corporate department headed by Dominik Stibal and Olivier Egli won the pitch for the film budget. The aim was to showcase the new edition of the Aquatimer product family and link it to the partnership between IWC and the Charles Darwin Foundation.
The result is a hybrid production of documentary film and product spot. Over the course of a day, the camera follows the work of researchers from the Charles Darwin Foundation in their efforts to preserve the unique fauna and flora of the Galapagos Islands. The scientists are equipped with a functional and, of course, water-resistant IWC watch around their wrists, as demonstrated during a dive. The film was directed by well-known Swiss director Luki Frieden and co-written by Academy Award nominee Christian Frei.
The film is introduced by a quote from Darwin that seems more relevant than ever in view of the economic crisis: "It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the most adaptable to change."
