Benedict Cumberbatch for Jaeger LeCoultre

“We have our own inner pulses. There’s our mind clock, there’s also this… thing of… breath. We’re not voluntary breathers, it just happens. So to engage with that and try to slow it down, to feel the full value of the air in your lungs, to sustain your dive… it makes you understand the relationship between that breath and time. When you slow yourself down, you gain more time. You accomplish more, you can go further, you can go deeper. But in that moment, time stretches and it feels like an eternity.”

The film was shot in the fascinating natural landscape of Rakino Island, New Zealand. The film captures the subtle relationship between breathing and time, portrays the transcendent state triggered by meditation and diving, and then presents the deep connection between man and nature triggered by these two movements.”
