Instrumental in the launch of the Fifty Fathoms is Blancpain President and CEO Marc Hayek. A maverick in the true sense of the word, Mr Hayek was a professional motorcross rider, vintage car enthusiast as well as a fiercely environmentally-minded diver.

The mastermind behind the new ground breaking Calibre 13R0 movement – which forms the base-calibre for the Fifty Fathoms' Calibre 1315, Mr Hayek’s love for adventure is reflected in this Collection.
