Time Avenue, Mumbai’s distinguished luxury watch retailer is delighted to introduce a special edition of the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe. Known for its curated selection of premium timepieces, Time Avenue is the ideal partner to showcase Blancpain’s legendary dive watches to the discerning clientele of Mumbai. Known for its heritage in crafting high-performance dive watches, Blancpain expands its presence in India with this collaboration.
Blancpain, established in 1735, is recognised as the world’s oldest watch brand and a pioneer in horological innovation. The Fifty Fathoms collection, introduced in 1953 as the first modern dive watch, is central to Blancpain’s legacy. It features high-precision in-house automatic movements with advanced complications such as moon phase indicators, flyback chronographs, and tourbillons.
The models retain essential design elements that defined their predecessors, including waterproof construction, anti-magnetic protection, and a unidirectional bezel—technical milestones in dive watch history. These advancements cater to both professional divers and watch collectors.
“Blancpain’s Fifty Fathoms is not just a watch; it’s a piece of history and a symbol of chorological excellence,” stated Jalil El Kouch Bordier, Area Sales Manager of Blancpain.
He added, “We are proud to showcase this iconic collection, which appeals to both seasoned divers and luxury watch enthusiasts alike.”
In addition to the Fifty Fathoms, Blancpain’s broader portfolio includes the Villeret collection, known for classic designs and intricate complications, and the Ladybird line, offering refined mechanical movements tailored for women.
Through its presence at Time Avenue, the Fifty Fathoms collection aims to reach a discerning Indian clientele, emphasising its blend of tradition, craftsmanship, and technical precision. This partnership marks a significant development in Mumbai’s luxury watch market, presenting an opportunity for enthusiasts to explore Blancpain’s heritage.
