Agat stopwatch, a Hollywood celebrity


Agat was utilized in the motion picture K-19: The Widowmaker.

Storyline: The story of USSR’s first nuclear ballistic submarine, which suffered a malfunction in its nuclear reactor on its maiden voyage in the North Atlantic in 1961. The submarine’s crew, led by the unyielding Captain Alexi Vostrikov, races against time to prevent a Chernobyl-like nuclear disaster which threatens not only the lives of his crew, but has the potential to ignite a world war between the super powers.

An Agat stopwatch is intended for measuring time in minutes, seconds and fractions of a second. Handy when conducting sports competitions as well as in scientific research work and motion-time study. Or shooting a Hollywood blockbuster!

SAT1 Kampagne mit Agat

The German TV broadcast SAT1 has expressed the theme of “time” using an Agat Stopwatch for advertising their new show “The perfect Minute”. The watch appears in the print campaign as well as the website and of course the TV channel. Interestingly, the previously used stopwatch was more recent model then this time. The fact that Agat now came into play once again shows one more time that Agat is synonymous with stopwatches!

The TV show: In ten games the couples of candidates are able to win up to 250,000 €. After the announcement of each task they decide who of them two should accept the challenge. For each game, participants have exactly one minute. Will they not succeed to solve the task within the specified time window, one life is lost. The game must be repeated. Each couple has a total of three lives.

Der TV-Sender SAT1 hat in einer neuen Kampagne das Thema “Zeit” mit einer Agat Stoppuhr zum Ausdruck gebracht. Die Uhr taucht in der Kampagne und der Webseite auf. Interessanterweise wurde früher eine andere, modernere Stoppuhr verwendet. Das nun Agat zum Zuge kam zeigt wieder einmal mehr das eine Agat als Synonym für Stoppuhren steht!

Die TV-Show: In zehn Spielen können die Kandidaten-Paare bis zu 250.000 Euro gewinnen. Nach der Verkündung jeder Aufgabe entscheiden sie, wer die Herausforderung annehmen soll. Für jedes Spiel haben die Teilnehmer genau eine Minute. Gelingt es in der vorgegebenen Zeit nicht, die Aufgabe zu lösen, geht ein Leben verloren. Das Spiel darf wiederholt werden. Insgesamt hat jedes Paar drei Leben.
