Tissot | The Gift Of Time

Seventeen Agency

In 2025 we had the immense pleasure of producing the live-action shoot for Tissot’s 2025 Christmas Gifting Campaign, created by the brilliant team at Seventeen. The film traces Tissot’s journey through time as our hero moves through a mysterious train carriage winding across a snowy Swiss landscape, with each vignette revealing a new decade and a milestone in the brand’s story before we arrive in the present day.

Working with the unmatched creativity of Menno Fokma, we challenged our art department to build a full-scale train carriage from the ground up-complete with a phone booth, a photo studio, a race car, and even a tiled plunge pool, creating 6 unique worlds to chronicle the Tissot history. Casting nine distinctive characters to personify each decade, each brought to life with the skill of our wardrobe and HMUA teams. And behind the camera DOP Miguel Carmenes and a crew of exceptional skill, whose vision shaped every frame.

With too many names to thank individually, and many fantastic individuals and suppliers behind it, we’re proud to finally share the results.
