Nothing to be ashamed of dear Nicholas
… I’m beginning to focus on the neo vintage period … 90s to early 2000s. I believe this to be the golden age I’m some ways … (after the quartz crisis) and for many brands, they started to push the boundaries with “less fear”. Especially for GP under the macaluso family ownership, they used the mid to late 90’s bringing back the laureato in its first mechanical iteration.
It’s also a period when brands hospital shared movements with each other. JLC and GP and nouveau Lemania (which was already owned by Breguet). Even Minerva … they were in many other brands and Minerva themselves used Valjoux and Venus movements in their own branded watches.
I’ll dig more to see what I can come up with for the 7710. The tough thing about GP is that things are not always documented that well. That’s also the good thing because one can discover hidden gems at very good prices 😃
Best,
Singapore Marc ☀️
Hello 7710 Lemania chrono manual wind
Thanks Orahu … I’ll pass on the compliment
I am ashamed to confess that this is an era I don't know well, Marc, most of all because the design of these 80's and 90's were not much my taste, truth to be told.
