10th June 2012 Kienzle Clock

June 10B

I have been sorting out my old Blogs for the past 5 years (originally on Yahoo's 360), throwing out some and keeping others re-posting here to group them together in one place. This is one of them.

" With Kienzle You are at home anywhere! " So says the advertisement.

I was running a modelling agency at the time as well as training models and being one myself. Kienzle was a very well known Swiss firm that makes clocks & watches. I was asked to be the image of their advertising campaign, amongst other publicity activities, to appear with a large wall clock of theirs, sitting down with my head against the clock "lovingly". Now how can any one really look and feel "loving" at a clock beats me.

I counter-suggested putting the clock up somehow on a rock in the wild, with greenery to hang it up, me in evening wear & high heels, totally incongruous with the setting. Then the above slogan as the only text. They approved delightedly, this picture was the result.


Needless to say, I charged them handsomely for advertisement design on top of my modelling fee.
