MUMBAI: Fastrack has launched a new watch collection, Loopholes, that specifically highlights the design inspiration perforations on the straps. The campaign has been conceptualised by Lowe Lintas’ Bengaluru office.

The creative leap that the agency took was to create two worlds, one within the hole and the other on the outside. The characters in the stories are seen getting their way by literally using the perforations as Loopholes (also the name of the watch collection) to their advantage and make a quick getaway. There are three films that amplify this idea.

The campaign will be visible on online media - YouTube and social media platforms. A series of outdoor communication augmenting the design idea will also bolster the campaign’s visibility.

Lowe Lintas Bangalore executive creative director Shiv Parameswaran adds, “Sometimes, the product itself can lead to an idea. In this case, it was the perforated design pattern of the watches. The typography we created for “Loopholes” also became the escape route for all our characters. After all, every situation has a loophole. You can get away if you spot them.”

Fastrack head of marketing Ayushman Chiranewala adds, “The Loopholes collection is inspired by perforations on sports apparels blended with the unique Fastrack design language. It's made for the youth who is always on the move. The campaign highlights the 'holes/ perforations' on the watches and adds a quirky and fashion forward touch which depicts how the consumer is on the lookout to get out of sticky situations by finding out loopholes. The collection has 36 watches sporting various functions like day date feature and multifunction feature, split equally between guys and girls.”

Lowe Lintas president South Hari Krishnan mentions, “When Fastrack showed us their new range of perforated watches, we saw the quirk right there. Every perforation is a loophole and every loophole, an opportunity."
