  Never thought a piece on watches could bring a tear to the eye. Long live Blancpain

  I wish more brands did this. Wonderful testimony. Too few  people know that it was Blancpain and Omega who created the first dedicated dive watches. They wrongly associate the Submariner...

  Blancpain is so underrated. Proud owner of the FF Bathyscaphe, to me any Fifty Fathoms is the true haute horology diver.

  I've heard the story many times, from intermediaries and watch historians. But to hear it from the man himself and see the undiminished passion in his eyes was truly remarkable. Thank you Blancpain, for sharing these unique shots of the legend himself. May his legacy live on.

  The fabulous FiftyFathoms of Blancpain are one of the most important legacies in the world of watches.

  The Blancpain FF would out sell every sport diving watch on earth if they would make it 40mm - 42mm. The size is just to big for the average buyer or watch enthusiast.

  I’m lucky enough of owning an FF since 2009. I have the vast majority of competitors also on my collection, but I got a say that the Blancpain is my absolute favorite. <br>I thought I knew all about it’s story and history, but learn a lot on this amazing video. Thank you.

  That was fantastic. &nbsp;And the addition of Peter Coyote as narrator &nbsp;was a nice touch. 👍

  A first-rate documentary elucidating the obscure history of this revolutionary watch. Mr Kingston&apos;s work to interview the key players and draw together the desperate strands of this story has been so worthwhile, both for its narrative impact and historical record. That Blancpain have supported and produced this classy endeavour is testament to their values and that of their parent organisation. Both the production and ethos of the work chime perfectly with the brand&apos;s values and the Fifty Fathoms watch - deeply thought.
