The Swiss watchmaker has a special relationship with the ocean, ever since the presentation of its first diving watch, Fifty Fathoms, in 1953. Since then, it has intensified its commitment to ocean conservation through multiple initiatives and partnerships. 
This was the fifth time that Blancpain has supported the World Ocean Summit since its inaugural edition in 2012. 
This strengthening of cooperation between the watchmaker and The Economist was first announced by Marc Hayek, president and CEO of Blancpain, on December 12, 2017 during an exclusive evening at the Natural History Museum in London.
