Commissioned by Style magazine and Style:MEN, and a collaboration with The Boy Who Cried Action, ‘Ebb & Flow’ is a short film that embodies an expression of time, as inspired by Tudor’s Chronograph Heritage Blue. Influenced by the carefree warmth and glamour of the Mediterranean and holiday destinations of the ‘60s and ‘70s, the elegant yet sporty watch pays homage to Tudor’s original 1970 Montecarlo Chronograph. Here, the piece’s bright tangerine and stark white hues are translated onto the body and face, while ribbons of blue are looped around her hands and body — a poetic representation of the tendrils of time. Engulfed in a sea of blue, the model remains rooted to the spot, while time, metaphorically represented by the ribbons, washes over her. Her movements are slow, deliberate, and controlled — an expression of how one is ultimately bound by the indefinite, infinite and almost-morbid concept of time. The model fades out gradually as the film concludes — a slow quietude of eventual rest.
