Some of the guests milling about the gorgeously styled grounds included famous divers, ocean explorers, a world-record holder, and various personalities from the world of watches. The view out over the deep blue Mediterranean sparkling in the late afternoon sunlight was complemented by interesting conversation. That and a vague sense of honor and awe at being invited to celebrate something that so obviously moved Blancpain CEO Marc Hayek that he and his family decided to hold its announcement at their family’s summer residence on the Côte d’Azur.http://quillandpad.com/2014/10/17/blancpain-takes-to-the-ocean-with-the-fifty-fathoms-ocean-commitment-bathyscaphe-flyback-chronograph/
