Casquette, just because
Honestly, pictures i've seen of this watch do not do it justice. I have a couple of vintage GP watches, both very different, both beautiful and unique in their own ways. I had some free time today and this was on my wrist, so I decided to share some pictu...
Unique watch...
Hello teofft Does it eat powercells(or other watches)? Would love to have one of these. Thanks for sharing. Kind regards Anthony
Where have i seen that design before?
Thanks for the post. You have enhanced my knowledge of this brand. A great find, and now I will have to find one myself ! Dean
You've seen it on the MB&F HM5

Yep, I know
I wonder if this is where Max got his inspiration from, or if his design was totally fresh from his head ! I suspect he, like many of us, never knew of this watch, he is such a creative designer.... Dean
Oh, the crazy 70's ...
Lovely mixture between technology and 70's design. Do you have a wrist shot? Thanks for showing. Cheers, Nilo
Thank you. Now I know ...

Seriously would love to own the Casquette.
I truly see this a one of the greatest watch designs of the 1970s. And I would love to see GP relaunch this model with an automatic movement.
+1 On owning the Casquette! :)
But I am not sure IF I would prefer a automatic movement on a "remake" OR if I would prefer a more true to the original quartz movement... Best Blomman

Like a Texas Instrument
teofft, Thanks for the reminder; I had forgotten that model :-) We saw it in the G-P museum in 2003. It does remind me of the original Texas Instruments "pocket" calculators. Of course, you had those if your pockets were the size of VHS cassette tapes ! Y...
Very cool piece of GP history...
What an interesting design. I knew I had seen something like it before...I believe someone posted the MB&F. I have looked at GP's in the past, and would never have thought this would come from them. I tend to think of them as so classic and conservati...
so cool...
... like this retro look very much, am sure it is just matter of time that GP will reissue this model soon thanks for sharing. stefan
