CONTEXT takes time out with Gucci Swiss Timepieces.

Gucci’s skilled master watchmakers work in their own ‘ateliers’ in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, home of precision Swiss watchmaking. For over three years CONTEXT provided Gucci with precision writing.

The Language of Luxury

Luxury writing is a particular discipline that works within very specific boundaries. Luxury brands such as The House of Gucci have a distinct voice and vocabulary, balancing descriptive detail with elegance and aspiration – one slip and an entire piece of content can fall apart. CONTEXT was given the delicate task of creating regular texts for Gucci working closely with their marketing people to craft beautiful pieces.

A natural nuance

Gucci watches and jewellery are imbued with the brand’s opulent qualities. To wear Gucci is to make a statement in Italian style, which was reflected in the texts we produced. Every written piece was a nuanced reflection of the product range it encompassed, bearing in mind that we were writing for both B2B and consumer audiences. A further consideration was blending Swiss Precision with Italian Chic.

What value did we bring?

The Gucci project demanded that we embed ourselves in all things Gucci. This extended to fully understanding and adopting, not only the tone of voice and messaging, but also the values and vision of Gucci – one of those scenarios where you are writing for the client – but ultimately speaking in whispers to their customers. Selling a thing of beauty is a challenge that requires deep knowledge and a light touch.
