The Beauty of a Second ‘s challenge people to explore a second and see the fragile beauty that lies inside this small unit of time. We created an online contest www.montblanc-onesecond.com where everyone – professionals, amateurs, cell-phone camera enthusiasts – was invited to enter a one-second-long video. Online, users could also paste and edit the second-long videos of their choice using a dedicated application containing different music scores. The best one-second video and one-minute playlist (like the dials on a chronograph) both have been selected and awarded by Wim Wenders. DescriptionThe Beauty of a Second is an international campaign for Montblanc chronographs conceived for the web and a worldwide audience and target.
