- Oliver and George sit down to discuss the first watch company Blancpain. Blancpain watches are best known for the Fifty Fathoms, the first dive watch with a rotating bezel. The original Blancpain dive watch was made famous by Jacques Cousteau! In this video you'll also learn about other designs from the oldest watch company in the world, including dress watches.

I had a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms on bracelet and a Rolex SD43 for 2-3 years. I finally sold off the SD43 and kept the Blancpain FF. In the end, it was no contest. I found the sterile utility nature of the SD43 to lack the personality, character, and soul of the Blancpain FF. In fact, it wasn’t even close, no competition at all. The affirmation that bracelet provides is absolutely the very best sports bracelet I’ve experienced - even compared to the Nautilus, Royal Oak, and Overaeas. This is the Grandfather of all Dive watches; make no mistake about it. There is only one Ocean Commitment out there; don’t be fooled by pretenders.
Keep up the amazing content; love your channel.
Thanks for watching a sharing part of your watch journey with us!
"Fully stickered, brand new ... [store owner removes sticker]"
😂😂 what a fool he is!
Came to the comments just to see if anyone else noticed. I started losing my %*?! laughing when the guy was like, “oh, well, let me remove that sticker so you can see everything clearer.” And then they never show us the back again! Lol
I wonder how much value was lost by that blunder... a grand or two?
Lol couldn’t believe it
I couldn't believe it
Just came back to rewatch this after trying the Blancpain today in the store. Thanks George.
Thanks Mike!
Nice watches. Don't pronounce the c and n of Blancpain. Their Villeret collection is also amazing.
I want to ask why the chronograph fifty fathoms does not have a clear backcase??
Panerai Luminor is hard. Breguet was right behind Blancpain and by 1800 he had patented his "tourbillion" he had invented since 1775 est. Lets Talk timepieces🗣️
What do you think of archie luxury comments on RUclips about fifty fathoms?
