Why would someone choose this over an Apple Watch? Same basic shape, 10x the price, much less functionality, arguably less good looking.....

Feb 22 - welcoming back a “GP Icon”

 
 By: Cru Jones : February 21st, 2022-16:57
Hmmmmm….. what could it be? ...  

My two thoughts: Sea Hawk or world timer travel watch.

 
 By: Cru Jones : February 21st, 2022-19:40
But probably wishful thinking. It GP had something so significant lined up, I doubt Kering would have let it go when they did. This is probably just something little to create a little buzz (which it has).

I fear you are right, alas...

Sea hawk? Absolute?

I'd say the integrated bracelet is for granted.

Sea Hawk could make sense, IMO.

Hopefully not yet another three bridges variation

A return of the high frequency chronometer would be cool.

I suppose so

We've just seen so many of those from GP that something different would be refreshing - even if it is another masterpiece.

or...

Oh yes!

The motion suggests a digital read out

I wonder is this a novelty volume item considering the cost vs mechanical... could be a fun piece ...  

100% agree.

 
 By: amanico : February 21st, 2022-20:16

What came in my mind, too...

 
 By: amanico : February 21st, 2022-21:04

Actually i dont mind they re issue thw Casquette. Pretty cool

 
 By: hoseachandra : February 22nd, 2022-08:02
But they should add useful functions like timer, chronograph, world time, etc.

Maybe a smart watch?

 
 By: TeutonicCarFan : February 21st, 2022-18:58

It is indeed probably the Casquette. 🙄

 
 By: MCG (Markus) : February 21st, 2022-20:43
Fun, but as already said, ultra niche. No wonder that GP continues to deteriorate… 😑

Hard to justify among so many fine watches within their line up,

 
 By: ifraher : February 21st, 2022-22:00
I think Hamilton did an LED thing recently and that felt right for their positioning in the market, can't see where this fits for GP who have been doing a lot right recently

Exactly my feeling.

Soon... we will know :)

Pretty expensive for quartz

 
 By: Jakub M : February 22nd, 2022-10:12
Would have loved if it was refreshed and done in MBF HM5 style though...

Why?

 
 By: brauner : February 22nd, 2022-11:49

I do like the cassette a lot

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : February 22nd, 2022-12:27
Very cool

Casquette it is...
