Featured in Architectural Digest’s December 1988 issue, this advertisement showcases 3 black and gold watches from Chanel’s Fall 1988 collection. Chanel is a French luxury fashion powerhouse responsible for creating some of the most timeless, high-end, and high-quality pieces. In this image dominant piece, each watch is depicted against a minimalist background, allowing the design to speak for itself. Chanel demonstrates how their rich heritage and quality craftsmanship can be conveyed through a simple design rather than something overly complicated. Their approach inspired a number of other brands to advertise their products in this way to create a lasting impression.
