OBJECTIVE
Vacheron Constantin was getting ready to celebrate two big milestones: the grand opening of its North American flagship boutique in New York City, and the celebration of the 100th anniversary of its iconic timepiece, American 21. Vacheron needed a partner who’d develop a cohesive communications narrative that would drive ongoing press with lifestyle media outlets.
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Over the course of two years, BMF developed a 360° opening strategy threaded with partnerships, retail experiences, visual merchandising concepts, events, and celebrity – launching the new flagship with a splash, then sustaining momentum.
Starting with an in-store activation, BMF brokered an ‘impossible collaboration’ between Vacheron Constantin and the estate of contemporary artist Chris Burden, earning attention from Architectural Digest, Forbes, and Robb Report. The installation later traveled to the maison’s Miami Design District boutique, extending momentum of the partnership through Miami Art Week.
Then, BMF produced a two-part, star-studded New York Fashion Week grand opening event, debuting the flagship and celebrating the 100th anniversary of the American 1921 timepiece.
1921 & 2021 collided, celebrating the best of New York, including exclusive performances from Broadway icon Alan Cumming, while Karen Elson delivered her first-ever live performance.
BMF provides Vacheron Constantin with ongoing strategic consultation and has produced experiential retail concepts for the NY flagship, including an installation of photography by the artist Corey Richards, and holiday-focused in-store experiences celebrating New York icons.
