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.

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...

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

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

Lovely mixture between technology and 70's design. Do you have a wrist shot? Thanks for showing. Cheers, Nilo

Why they call this watch a Star Trek one. Kirk or Spock should be wearing one. Congratulations, Nilo

Seriously would love to own 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

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...
