Why choose this watch?

Originally designed for French navy combat swimmers, this is the watch for adventurers. Thanks to the ceramic case, the watch will still look new even in 10 years. Its water resistance of 300 m means it can easily be used for everyday challenges. Powered by a Blancpain movement with silicon balance spring, this Blancpain Fifty Fathoms can withstand any magnetic field.

This watch was born in 1953. Jean-Jacques Fiechter, then CEO of Blancpain, wanted to create a watch that he could take with him when he went diving. And so what started as a simple idea became a legend. The Fifty Fathoms name comes from the unit of measurement fathoms. The distance you could dive with the watch was 50 fathoms, or just over 91 metres. This innovation was made possible by a revolutionary sealing system that used two seals on the crown. In addition, the Fifty Fathoms was the first watch with a rotating diver’s bezel to show the diver how long they have been underwater.   From the very beginning, the watch has been a statement of innovation and is constantly being further developed. The watch runs flawlessly with an exceptionally sophisticated Blancpain movement: a built-in silicon balance spring protects the watch from any kind of magnetic field. This model also has a grey, scratch-proof ceramic case.   The Fifty Fathoms is designed to be easy to read, which is why the luminous indexes are such a striking detail on the watch. It is a bold design that is known all over the world.

I love this extraordinary watch more than ever. Thanks to the easy-to-change leather, rubber and textile straps, this timepiece is extremely versatile and looks sporty, even elegant. The titanium case, which is very light, is also sensational.

 

The HUBLOT brand fascinates me because of its incredible creative spirit when it comes to materials, such as Magic Gold, Texalium, synthetic sapphire, SAXEM or ceramics in various colours. In addition, HUBLOT designs a variety of ingenious models together with renowned artists, which makes the brand even more exclusive.

My favourite watch is the Blancpain Villeret Quantième Complet. It is actually a men’s model, but I think the watch with 40 mm diameter looks breathtakingly beautiful on a woman, too. The classic complete calendar with Blancpain’s signature moon phase looks stunning with its simple elegance. Each function on the complete calendar can be adjusted individually using the practically invisible under-lug correctors.

Founded in 1735, Blancpain is the oldest watch brand in the world. The Villeret models have barely been aesthetically altered since the early days of Blancpain, yet they still look very contemporary. They have become a timeless classic that is a dependable accessory for generations.

For me, this watch fulfils all the criteria that a watch has to fulfil. Its refined design radiates sporty elegance. The case and the stainless steel bracelet tenderly embrace my wrist. Every time I want to read the time, the sparkling diamonds on the bezel make my heart beat faster. The beautifully designed dial with its rose gold hour markers lets me combine the watch ideally with any piece of jewellery, and the open watch back lets me enjoy the fascinating finesse of the movement.

 

The Piaget brand fascinates me for its 145-year family history, its rarity and the timeless elegance that is reflected in the entire watch collection.
