The Fifty Fathoms collection embodies Blancpain’s passion for the underwater world that was originally expressed in 1953 with the creation of the first modern diver’s watch. Ever since, Blancpain has been accompanying divers and underwater photographers in their exploration and discovery of the oceans’ fragile beauty, thus contributing to the knowledge of this fascinating universe and to the motivation to protect it. All Fifty Fathoms models feature the main signature elements that forged the reputation of their legendary ancestor and established it as the archetypal diver’s watch. The same professionalism is apparent in the decisive design choices, dictated by a wealth of experience in the field of diving, its risks and its imperious necessities. The latest additions to the collection are extraordinary technical achievements as well as a tribute to the pioneers who made scuba diving possible. It is their passion and dedication which opened up whole new vistas for underwater exploration and that continue to inspire Blancpain in using innovative materials and new technical solutions in order to push the limits of its timepieces and to fulfil the most sophisticated demands.

Blancpain Watches Brand History

The tradition of innovation Blancpain has been making mechanical watches that set standards of excellence since 1735. A custodian of watchmaking tradition, Blancpain nevertheless seeks to surprise with its spirit of innovation and taste for the provocative. At Blancpain, respect for our own watchmaking tradition is not felt as a barrier to innovation. On the contrary, the past history of the Manufacture of Le Brassus is an inexhaustible source of ideas. Taking it as inspiration for pushing back frontiers is an ongoing challenge in our company. Boldness and provocation Armed with its mastery of the basic stages of watch production, Blancpain is free to follow byways, which it does with enthusiasm. This taste for boldness and provocation finds expression in the latest creations of the brand.

The creation of original products goes hand in hand with the quest for perfection of line. A Blancpain watch is more than the fruit of technical achievement. It is conceived from the start as an object of grace; a moment of pure emotion. Top-of-range quality The Blancpain Manufacture pursues a rigorous quality policy designed to produce the best possible watches, designed and assembled entirely in Switzerland. This continual aspiration towards top-quality work and service is embodied in every man and woman in the company, in the workshops of the Joux Valley, just as in Blancpain’s boutiques around the world.
