Christianch shares an in-depth look at the Girard-Perregaux Casquette 2.0, offering a fresh perspective with high-quality photographs that capture its distinctive 70s-inspired design. His initial skepticism as a mechanical watch enthusiast gives way to appreciation for its innovative execution and lightweight ceramic/titanium construction. This article delves into why this re-issue has captivated collectors, exploring its unique appeal and the community's reactions.

As promised I wanted to share some better photos (the previous photos were taken at the retailer with less than ideal light).

May be I am falling in love💕 with this watch 😁 the design and 70's vibes are really very cool.

Since the times stays on just for 1 second is not easy to take the photos but I did take also one with the seconds counter that stays for a few seconds longer.











the watch is not too large and the ceramic/titanium combination makes it very light.  It was not love at first sight because I am very biased toward mechanical watches, but I am enjoying it a lot. A very well executed re-issue from Girard-Perregaux. Well done ! 👏

Is the time able to be switched to the 12 hour format? I think every photo I’ve seen is in the 24 hour format. That detail and the need to hit the button are demerits in my mind, but it looks awesome!

My name is on the list but so are way too many people. I am not hopeful but at least I hope to wear it once. The Casquette looks awesome on you. I think I will go to the launch wearing another digital watch!

indeed hitting the button was a drawback on paper but ..in real it gives you the chance to establish a different relationship with time may be ? if you hit it in a meeting it sends a not so discreete signal 😏 I think price value is certainly very high on this piece.

The space age design of the Casquette is unusually appealing to me and I am pretty conservative!

a bit of getting used to clicking the button but it has a of character. The design is realy a killer, everyone asks "what it is"

It's sold out here. Of course, GP had that intentionally.
