Blancpain Fifty Fathoms

I · This watch

Blancpain Fifty Fathoms (excellent condition) is an example from 2024.

II · The line

Fifty Fathoms

Blancpain launched the Fifty Fathoms in 1953 as a watch created around divers’ needs. Its contrasting display and graduated rotating bezel helped define the design vocabulary of the modern diving watch.

III · The manufacture

Blancpain since 1735

Jehan-Jacques Blancpain was recorded as a watchmaker in Villeret in 1735. The current official history dates Betty Fiechter’s succession to Frédéric-Emile Blancpain to 1932. The Fifty Fathoms of 1953 gave the house a lasting connection with diving. Blancpain joined SSIH in 1961 and became a movement-production centre within the group. Jacques Piguet bought Blancpain in 1982, linking it closely to Frédéric Piguet’s movement manufacture. Jean-Claude Biver joined the leadership in 1983 as the mechanical watch business was rebuilt. In 1992, Blancpain and Frédéric Piguet were sold to SMH, later renamed Swatch Group. Frédéric Piguet was incorporated into Blancpain’s Le Sentier manufacture in 2010. Le Brassus also houses its complicated-watch and artistic-craft workshops.
