In the Watchmaking sector, professional video content has become essential for standing out in a competitive market. Whether you need promotional material, training content, or brand storytelling, Video Restoration delivers measurable results that transform how watchmaking professionals communicate with their audience.
Watchmaking video production demands the highest macro cinematography precision in luxury goods — a movement operating at 28,800 vibrations per hour, with components measured in hundredths of a millimeter, must be filmed so that viewers appreciate the engineering without needing a loupe. Specialized rigs include focus-stacking systems for depth-of-field control, microscope-adapted cameras for movement footage, and turntables with programmable rotation speeds to catch dial reflections at precise angles. The visual language distinguishes between manufacture content (showing in-house movement assembly, a story of 200-300 components) and lifestyle positioning (the watch on a wrist during meaningful moments). Distribution spans brand websites, authorized dealer networks, and enthusiast platforms like Hodinkee and Watchfinder. A single watch launch film costs 10,000 to 40,000 euros, while manufacture documentaries can reach 50,000 to 150,000 euros. The KPI is boutique appointment bookings and authorized dealer sell-through.
Luxury fashion demands video that matches the quality and attention to detail of the products themselves. 73% of luxury consumers say video influences their purchase decisions, but the content must elevate the brand rather than cheapen it. The challenge is producing video that feels exclusive and aspirational.
From runway shows to lookbooks, behind-the-scenes craftsmanship stories to influencer collaborations, fashion video must capture fabric movement, color accuracy, and the intangible quality that defines luxury. Each season requires fresh content across multiple platforms, each with different format requirements.
A luxury maison produced a 90-second brand film for their collection launch, combining runway footage with artisan workshop sequences. The film generated 8.3M views across platforms and drove a 42% increase in online store traffic during launch week.
Fashion video delivers premium ROI: lookbook videos increase online conversion by 134%, behind-the-scenes craftsmanship content builds brand heritage perception by 67%, and campaign films on social media generate 4x more engagement than static imagery. Luxury brands with strong video presence report 28% higher brand value perception.
1. Color Analysis: We review all footage, identify exposure/white balance issues, and establish the target look with mood references and LUT exploration.
2. Primary Correction: Exposure normalization, white balance correction, and overall color balance across all shots for consistency.
3. Creative Grade: Scene-by-scene color grading to achieve the desired mood, with custom power windows, secondary corrections, and film emulation.
4. Final QC: Broadcast compliance check (if needed), HDR/SDR delivery, and export of custom LUTs for future use.
Video restoration recovers degraded footage from VHS tapes, film scans, miniDV cassettes, and early digital formats — removing scratches, flicker, color fading, dropout lines, and interlacing artifacts. We use a multi-stage pipeline: first deinterlace and deflicker, then stabilize, then denoise, then restore color balance using reference frames or period-accurate color science. This service preserves institutional archives, family memories, and historical footage for modern use. Processing is slow due to the care required — expect 3-7 business days for 30 minutes of material. We deliver restored footage alongside the untouched original for archival comparison.
You receive: color-graded master in ProRes/DPX, custom LUT package, before/after comparison frames, HDR and SDR versions, and color-consistent stills for marketing.
