Blancpain just announced the release of its full-length documentary film Fifty Fathoms – The history as told by the pioneers who created it.

First-hand interviews are conducted with Jean-Jacques Fiechter, its inventor; Robert “Bob” Maloubier, OBE, who oversaw the French Navy’s adoption of the Fifty Fathoms as its dive watch; and Marc A. Hayek, Blancpain’s President & CEO, who revived this iconic timepiece.
