Public creative brief

Predict what’s next. What do you think watches should look like in 2, 5, or 10 years?
We are asking for your help. We’re not looking for a long list of specs or ideas that already exist. We’re looking for a cool new concept or “big idea”.

Understand how your idea will be judged, and increase your chances of winning.

Judging Criteria:

Creativity / Originality / Innovation (50% weight): Is the idea / design unique? Does the concept convey WOW or game-changing characteristics?
Feasibility (25% weight): Can this idea / product be realistically implemented with current or near-future technology?
Polish and Appeal (25% weight): Is the idea easy to understand and aesthetically appealing?

Submissions may be illustrated or rendered in any format - hand sketches, digital drawings, or renderings – rendering tool used will not affect judging process. You may submit as many entries as you like.

Private creative brief

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT US:

Launched in 2008, Rebellion is a young and audacious independent Swiss high-end watch brand, based on the shores of Lake Geneva. Rebellion’s timepieces are crafted in extremely limited quantities, with precision-engineered cases and exclusive movements. All of Rebellion’s research, development and production takes place in Switzerland, where the very highest standards are both demanded and obtained. Rebellion blends highly sophisticated technical know-how, including high-tech precision lasers, with an uncompromising approach to quality. Rebellion creates trends it doesn’t follow them and their timepieces are for those who demand a very exclusive, high quality, high-tech wristwatch. Generating deep emotion, Rebellion’s exclusive and ageless watches provide a sophisticated and powerful contemporary identity for today’s dynamic generation. Rebellion is geared toward the fiercest of individualists.

HERE IS WHAT WE NEED:

To receive ideas of new ways of displaying time with mechanical means and not by using quartz and digital movements and displays

OUR TARGET AUDIENCE IS:

high end watch fanatics and collectors.

WE LIKE THESE DESIGNS:
