Rolex, Swatch, and More: The Best Watch Advertisements
I plan to do A LOT of writing this year... Besides creating unique, detailed product descriptions for the most-popular and important ads, you can expect articles about the ads! I have so many topics in mind... All will touch on my experience and passion for vintage advertisements.
So without further ado, here's my first article about some good ads - that'll look awesome framed. Enjoy!
This isn't my "10 Best" list. Narrowing down the very-best 10 from hundreds of great ads would be a torturous task. This list is simply 10 really-good watch advertisements. Ads that cover the decades. Come in black and white - and color. Ads for simple and fun watches, but also featuring icons and Grails. Many incredible ads aren't part of this selection. You won't see the Matterhorn or Cartier Panther - ads that proudly hang in our home. I mostly went down the list of watch brands and allowed the ads to jump out at me. Some did for sentimental reasons. Some did for historical reasons. Some because they felt under-appreciated.
AD PATINA on YouTube
I love talking about magazine ads... From how I find them to how I frame them. Throughout 2024, YouTube will be another way I share my experiences! This is a new adventure for me, but I'm looking forward to it all... Video is the perfect format to speak about my passion and share my perspective. Ad Patina's YouTube channel will be a great way to engage and connect. Hope you enjoy!
