路And if you didn't read all the way to the end, you might have missed this little tidbit:
Oh, one more thing. Just as with vintage Omega Speedmasters, the Swatch Group has been rigging auctions for early Blancpain Fifty Fathoms as well. The prices achived at auction have to be taken with a grain of salt. If you found yourself in a bidding war over a Fifty Fathoms, chances are you were bidding against someone at Swatch Group who was using multiple accounts to make the watch appear more popular than it actually was.

路En mi opini贸n, a perezcope le crecen los palmeros.
Rolex tampoco necesita palmeros. Esto 煤ltimo ya no es una opini贸n.

路To me, and I鈥檓 trying not to be biased as I鈥檓 an FF owner, the article does seem to draw cast-iron conclusions from a simple lack of evidence. It doesn鈥檛 seem as balanced and as objective as other articles and work by Jose.

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. That principle seems to be lost in this article...

路Pretty interesting read. The author does seem certain of his own research into the family, however the fact that 100 years ago, the company claimed to have begun in 1815, makes me think that was correct. Obviously it would be interesting to see what was claimed, in say 1840.
