About Blancpain
Blancpain is the oldest surviving watch brand, recorded in 1735, and it has never made a quartz watch, a position it has advertised for decades. Its Fifty Fathoms from 1953 is among the first modern diving watches. The company was effectively dormant through the quartz crisis and was restarted in 1983, before Swatch Group acquired it in 1992.
