Blancpain showcases the latest Fifty Fathoms novelties in Madrid in the presence of Gianluca Genoni

The Blancpain Manufacture recently hosted an exclusive event in Madrid, in the presence of free diving champion, Gianluca Genoni. Guests had the opportunity to discover this year's new range of Fifty Fathoms models and to experience a unique static apnea session under the expert advice of Blancpain's friend and renowned diver.

Blancpain invited an intimate group of approximately 20 guests - gathering clients and journalists coming from the main Spanish lifestyle and watchmaking magazines – for an immersive experience in the techniques of free diving. Taking place over two days, this event first started with a presentation by Ms. Lara Bartolomé – Blancpain Brand Manager for Spain - unveiling the new Fifty Fathoms models released in May this year. This special preview was  followed by an introductory course to static apnea given by Gianluca Genoni – holder of more than 15 records in the discipline. He started by explaining the mental, muscular, and breathing rules, for use in optimizing performance and avoiding any discomfort or distress. Participants took their turn at practicing their breathing techniques, concentration, and managing their position in the water with the guidance of the Italian champion. This interactive sports challenge led them to see that it is perfectly possible to remain under water without air for between two and four minutes without any major effort and in a totally relaxed manner.
