Great thoughts for this sad occasion
from my own perspective Mr. Macaluso will always be
remembered dearly because, as Nicolas said,
GP was and is definitely one of brands that fueled my watch madness
not to say that one of my all time favorite pieces I dream of is
GP Vintage 1945 XXL QP + other 5 extraordinary samples form manufacture
I adore ....
With regards and respect
Damian
My grail
Favorite wt (picture of a fellow Purist)
Favorite Moon-phase
Well whatever people might say you have to be great to produce this one

... and yes I'm in love with Vintage 1945 case
GP made some great Chronos also
not to speak about Marvelous Operas .....
