Blancpain

Hello All Fifty Fathoms Hard Core Fans,

Some weeks ago, I posted something about the exhibition Blancpain is organizeing about our dear FFs.

As I told you, Blancpain wanted to find some Collectors Specimen to " feed " the Exhibition.

I just recieved an email from Caroline Moser informing me that the 4 pieces I suggested have just been selectionned.

1/The Pakistanese:



2/ The Early Milspec:



3/ The AM 103:



4/ an Early FF:



Let's have an " avant gout "of this exhibition: Show us your selected watches!

Best,

Congratulation on your selection. They have great taste so far! My three have been selected for the exhibition!

These are 3 wonderful pieces, my friend.

And the fact that one comes with its box and papers is just exceptional.

Congratulations.

Best,

Nicolas

These 2 .... Happy to participate in sharing the history of FF

The excellent thing is that I will see all your pieces in the flesh, very soon!

Do you come to Paris to see all these marvels in the real life?

Best,

Nicolas

It would have been great to count you in!

Best,

Nicolas

Nicolas

thank you Nicolas !

a email from Blancpain that they have enough from the models I have, but I got an invitation to the exhibition on 29th Oktober in Paris. So I think I will come to see you guys there.
I hope traffic is running again in Paris next week....
The party ends at 23.00 in the Blancpain boutique. Is a "after works party "  on your mind ?
who else is coming to Paris ??


Best Stephan

What traffic  problem?

There is no traffic problem here in France.

There is no fuel anymore!

See you here, then!

I'm veeeery happy, as you'll meet my FF Squad!

Best,

Nicolas

have been selected, watches from the 1970s:

And a warm congrats to all who's watches will be exhibited! A pity that I'll be some 10.000 miles away... Cheers, Magnus

I saw the pics if the selected watches, my friend, and I can confirm you that it will be there!

A pity you can't come.

Another time, I hope.

Best,

Nicolas.

I was confident you would make it given te exceptional pieces you have, and wow, 4 is super cool!  Matt

With a certain emotion...

Thanks, my friend.

Nicolas

Hi - first time poster. I've been avidly reading the forum this year and thought this would be a good way to make a brief introduction as two of my Blancpains have been slected for the exhibition.

The first is a small crown Fifties model.

The second is the classic Heavy Metal "Kampfschwimmer" from the mid-Seventies

Thanks to everyone who posts here I've learnt a lot over the past year about vintage Fifty Fathoms from this forum, you have a wonderful, exciting, community here.

The rest of my collection is almost entirely vintage, with a focus on "tool" watches; divers, aviators and chronographs of all makes, military and civilian.

I live in London, but hope to get to Paris for the dinner and to feast on the Fifty Fathoms collected there.

I'm very happy to meet you on the 29th!

Welcome here and feel free to share our common passion with your other watches which seem to be very exciting.

Best,

Nicolas

I appreciate your welcome and look forward to it.

It's been a couple of years since I've been to Paris,  I hope to have some time before the ceremony,
could I ask your advice about where the best places to do some vintage window shopping might be?

best - Eitan

Feel free to PM me, we may try to do it together...

Best,

Nicolas

So you've been hiding these!...  Welcome to the community of vintage fans, looking forward to see more!  thanks.  Matt

Appreciate the welcome. I have to say that the members here have some of the most amazing vintage watches I've seen.

...to the watches and owners who have been selected...

As I am still to purchase my first vintage FF and only follow this community out of pure pleasure and an avid interest in BP FF and an urge to become the owner of a FF, would I appreciate tonnes of pictures and details for your 29th meeting

Best
Hans

We'll try to take some pics of the event, and to make a post of it.

Some Legends will attend, too.

An exciting moment to live, for sure!

Best,

Nicolas
