About Blancpain:
A luxury Swiss watch manufacturer, founded in 1735 by Jehan-Jaques Blancpain. Blancpain was saved from near bankruptcy by Jean-Claude Biver, an executive with Omega. Blancpain is owned by the Swatch Group. Nick Hayek, the son of Swatch Group's founder and chairman, Nicolas Hayek runs the company. Blancpain started making watches in 1735 in Villeret, Switzerland. Blancpain produces fewer than 10,000 watches a year. Each watch is made by a single watchmaker.

Blancpain is also famous for being the creator of one of the most complicated mechanical watches ever made, the Blancpain 1735, which is a true grand complication (Tourbillon, minute repeater, perpetual calendar, split chrono), a limited edition of 30 pieces only, production of just one piece per year.

Blancpain is also known for its Fifty-Fathoms watch, selected by the United States Navy and worn by Jacques-Yves Cousteau in his award winning film. In 1984, Blancpain launched the world's smallest movement, followed in 1989 by the launch of the world's thinnest movement.

1:38 "That is very awesome, yes" - I love that Blancpain spokeswoman. :D

I'm not a big fan of the normal Fifty Fathoms, however the Fifty Fathoms Tourbillon in Rose Gold is one of my top 5 favorite watches.

Thanks for the video!

No disrespect, but the Fifthy Fathom looks like a $10 fashion watch.
