BLANCPAIN

Fifty Fathoms

Blancpain is the oldest current watchmaker in the world, founded in 1735 by Jehan-Jacques Blancpain in Villeret, Switzerland. Now headquartered in Paudex/Le Brassus, Switzerland, it is also among the most prestigious watch brands in the world. In 1953, Blancpain launched one of the most significant watches of the 20th century - the Fifty Fathoms. This was the world’s first modern diving watch built in collaboration with the commando frogmen unit of French Navy. At 42mm in diameter, it was a massive piece at the time and a 37mm civilian version followed in 1956, the Bathyscaphe. Although initially designed for separate clientele, the two lines eventually merged into one collection that remains to be the brand’s signature today.
