The new 500 Fathoms is the predecessor of fifty Fathoms and both are created by Blancpain. The 500 Fathoms is also a dedicated watch for diving and the technology and the performance that the watch has reached are amazing and unbeatable for the moment. The sport design and the 1000 meters resistance to water are possible just because the Blancpain has manage to developed a gracious piece that every sportive wants. Because the 500 Fathoms is the latest watch that enters the Blancpain diver's watches is also the number one in sales and in technology.The case of the watch is made from titanium and measures 48 millimeters in diameter and that is a dimension that is not suitable for Blancpain because they usual design smaller pieces around 35 millimeters. The big case was created to ensure that the big Arabic numbers are correctly set. The big numbers are used because the watch can reach very big debts and in that distance away from the day light the measuring components are very difficult to be read. Another important feature is that the numbers are fluorescent and only need 3 hours in sun light to sustain a glowing of 7 hours under water. Most of you will think that the properties of the letters to glow into the dark it usually disappears under the effects of time, and the watch will become impossible to indicate in the depts of the ocean but that is not just correct; yes every fluorescent compound will run out their properties eventually but the 500 Fathoms has developed a new ingenious system that every number has suffered a serious numbers of treatments and the Blancpain company is given you a warranty of 10 years just for those numbers and a warranty of 20 years for the entire watch and this is to be note that the watch is not used for diving the guaranty is up to 45 years, but it will not be a normal thing to buy this watch and not use its main property that is diving.An amazing piece of technology that can be found in this watch is the pressure valve and it is positioned near the hour ten. The main property of the pressure valve is to maintain the correct functionality of the watch because all of us know that when we go diving a certain force name pressure is acting on our body but not only and the same pressure appears over our instruments. What does this force do? It can be described by a factor that apply a certain force on any object that is not in the same pressure at the water and that is because the farther you go under water the more dense the water will be and so it has another pressure and you could only imagine what a tremendous force is acting on this watch. Well the pressure valve is connected to a small chamber that is filled with air from the su***ce (this is an automatic process) and when you submerge the pressure valve release the air so the chamber is starting to fill up with water and so the watch is getting close to the real pressure that it under water. Otherwise you realize that any other watches couldn't stand this enormous pressure and even if there are watches that reach 500 meters under waters from then forward any watch need some pressuring methods to go even deeper. About this watch are many that can be spoken but the most general idea is to go and buy one and if you are a sportive person and acting in the diving area you will find out that no other watch like this one exist at this time. The watch is relatively cheap and costs only 5000 euros but this price is worthy because you buy a very strong high teak chronology. Pictures with Blancpain 500 Fathoms Tags: resistance to water

The Forbidden City of Beijing is the home of the Palace Museum which is something of a mecca for art and international culture. In this museum, you will find a highly impressive collection of national treasures. A great honor of representing contemporary watchmaking art in the Palace Museum has been bestowed upon Blancpain. This is the world's oldest watch brand and it is only apt that the privilege of showcasing the first and only modern wristwatch should be Blancpain's. Blancpain knows what an honor this is and has developed a unique, one of a kind version of its Carrousel Volant Une Minute. This was revealed in an official donation ceremony held at the Palace Museum. Blancpain Qiankun Carrousel technical details according to the press are : "Blancpain has created a one-of-a-kind version of its remarkable karussel watch, christened the Blancpain Qiankun Carrousel. This collection wristwatch is crafted from 18-carat white gold. Its half-open worked opaline dial depicts the "Yin and Yang" symbol and reveals the noble, restrained architecture of the entirely hand-decorated movement. The partially hollowed hour and minute hands are dagger-shaped, while a round dial opening at 12 o'clock highlights the stunning intricacy of the karussel.The back of the 43.5 mm-diameter case is inscribed with the words "The Palace Museum" and "Pi��ce Unique". Through the sapphire crystal, one may admire the oscillating weight specially designed for this model and bearing the inscriptions "1735", and the names "Qianlong" and "Blancpain". These inscriptions commemorate a striking coincidence in the history of Blancpain and that of the Forbidden City: 1735, the date Blancpain was founded, also witnessed the coronation of the Chinese emperor Qianlong. At the centre of the oscillating weight, the exquisitely and accurately drawn depiction of the Forbidden City serves as an eloquent reminder of the inseparable tie between this exceptional watch and the showcase in which it will now shine.The Carrousel Volant Une Minute by Blancpain is a vivid reflection of the innovative strength and pioneering spirit of the Manufacture in Le Brassus.
