“Titus鐵達時 天長地久(Chow Yun-fat, Ng Sin-lin)1993” is an advertisement set against the backdrop of China during World War II, with the main actors being Chow Yun-fat and Ng Sin-lin. It depicts a touching love story between an air force pilot (played by Chow Yun-fat) and his newlywed wife (played by Ng Sin-lin).
The advertisement begins with a personal photo of the pilot, followed by a group photo of him, his wife, and other pilots at their wedding. The group photo was taken in a chilly winter aircraft hangar.
Inside the hangar, four warplanes stood guard like deities, silently protecting the groom pilot, the bride, and the other pilots. After the wedding group photo was taken, the groom pilot and the bride danced gracefully to the accompaniment of music. They gazed into each other’s eyes and kissed passionately, as if they were the only two people in the world.
The scene switches to their honeymoon. At that time, they were cycling in the wild, admiring the scenery while flirting with each other, very much in love.
However, when they were expressing their love on a grassland, suddenly, they saw numerous warplanes flying overhead, and their smiling faces froze instantly.
Before the pilot returned to his unit and went into battle, he gave his wife a Solvil et Titus watch, engraved with “Forever and Ever” on the back. This gesture reminisces a love that never truly went away. It’s a beautiful way to express his eternal devotion to his wife.
The pilot returned to his unit, climbed onto the warplane, and gave his wife one last gaze before taking off for battle in his warplane.
Separated by the fence, reluctant and helpless, the wives and relatives of the pilots watched the warplanes take off, hoping that their loved ones would return safely and reunite with their families.
At this moment, the screen displays their memories: the pilot and his wife taking their last photo together in front of a billboard that reads “Forever and Ever”
This captivating story paints a picture of a love that transcends time. The couple’s time together may be brief, but the moments they share are priceless. Each memory is a cherished keepsake of the past and a beacon for the future. Owning a Solvil et Titus watch is not just about telling time, it’s about being part of a legacy.
