Birth of A Legend – Visitors were able to discover Blancpain’s connection to the underwater world established more than 60 years ago with the development of the first modern diving watch: the Fifty Fathoms.
Ocean Exploration – Through the Fifty Fathoms, Blancpain developed important relationships with scientists, divers, governmental organizations and other pioneers of the deep water world.
Art in Ocean – This section comprises moving color photography captured through the lens of world-renowned underwater photographers and friends of Blancpain, enabling visitors to explore the diversity of the oceans and to understand the importance of protecting them.
The exhibition also featured the latest Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe launched during this year’s Baselworld Show.
Since the first Fifty Fathoms watch launched in 1953, the world’s oldest watchmaking manufacturer, Blancpain, has become a longtime fervent supporter of environmental initiatives to explore, preserve and protect the world’s oceans.
