GP Gyromatic ref 8888 – Hip to be Square
Friends,
Some might think this must be the luckiest reference number of them all; 8888!
Another Gyromatic from the late 1960’s.
Here featured in the 1968 catalog:
Not sure …. But the sun is shining today…. So, who knows?!
Maybe it works!
TGI Friday!

New catch?
I like this funky one. Looking for one myself, ideally with the printed numbers ;) Congrats. CC
You should try to post something about these Chronos from the 70ies...
Such as the JLC Cal 906, this one, the Ulysse Nardin Brother, and some others... It would be very interesting! Best, Nicolas
Indeed it would be!
Already started to work a post..... But a lot of facts to gather and verify first..... Best Blomman
Different movements, technical solutions, materials.....
Like the JLC 906 which uses plastic parts! ;) Best Blomman
Ahhh.. Another one from the late 60ies, which to me a bit looks like 70ies.. Nice one !.. Great you again have a catalog..
.. You\'ll be never surprised, will you ? We have to realize, you\'re on the move & hunt at all times !.. And that means pretty high speed for our Northern truck ! Best, my friend !! hs
I used to own a NOS example
when I was collecting Calibre 32As, I owned a 8888 with 32A, original Cyclops plexi and foil sticker on the back. It was too small for me and although I sold for a profit; it still went dirt cheap.
That is one of the good things with collecting vintage GP...
You still don't have to sell your house to be able to buy one... But the day will come I fear. Best Blomman
My ref.8888
Hi Blomman this is my square GP which I love to wear! Cal 32A. It has the wrong crown can you give me some detail of the crown on yours so I can try and find the correct one. Thanks in advance, Tony B. ...
Very nice, Tony! :)
Sure thing, I will try to take some shots of the crown this weekend. Best Blomman
