Features:

The Origin. Born in 1976. Reborn in 2022. Or so the marketing for Girard-Perregaux’s Casquette 2.0 goes. But to be honest, reborn is about right. The 2.0 is an incredibly faithful reimagining of the 1.0 that was released almost 50 years prior.

The Reason. The original Casquette was produced between 1976 and 1978, during the height of the quartz “crisis”. But it wasn’t your typical kneejerk response. Rather than create a simple three-hander with a quartz movement under the hood, Girard-Perregaux embraced the technology and created the sort of watch Marty McFly would see on his travels (back) to the future. 

The Rarity. Despite an original production run of only 8,200 units, it gained a strong cult following over the years thanks to the retro-futuristic charm. So when it came to the 2022 reimagining, Girard-Perregaux limited it 820 units - exactly 10% of the original supply. 

The Calibre. And Girard-Perregaux didn’t stop at simply recreating the design. As a courtesy to owners of the original Casquette, Girard-Perregaux designed the new GP3980 quartz calibre to fit both the new and old cases alike - meaning vintage owners can opt to upgrade to the modern movement during a service. A compelling option, given the functionality offered by the new and upgraded movement. You can now cycle through the time, triple date, chronograph, GMT, and a programmable reminder date. 

The Case. But it’s more than just a horological oddity - the finishing on the Casquette 2.0 is sublime. The edges are so perfect and the brushing is so soft that the photos almost look like CGI renders. Just like the case, the stepped bracelet is crafted from solid titanium - and the inside has been thoughtfully lined with silicone, making it exceedingly comfortable to wear all day. And as a final, subtle upgrade, both the logo and pushers are executed in solid 18K gold. The perfect cherry on top.

      FAQs

      Are your watches authentic?

      Everything we sell is 100% authentic.

      All of our watches are inspected and verified for authenticity - both inside and out. We have over 15 years of sourcing and collecting rare watches in Japan, which is often considered to be one of the best markets for authentic and fully original vintage watches.

      Do you ship globally?

      We are based in Japan and regularly ship all over the world. We typically use FedEx and it takes:

      • 3-7 business days to reach North America
      • 3-7 business days to reach Europe
      • 3-7 business days to reach Asia and Oceania.

      All of our packages are securely shipped, fully insured, and trackable door-to-door.

      What condition are your watches?

      Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of the watches we typically sell, the condition varies from watch to watch. However, our photos are high resolution and our descriptions are accurate. You can buy with confidence knowing there won't be any nasty surprises.

      If the condition of a watch is ever misrepresented, we would offer a full refund.

      Are all of your watches serviced?

      Most but not all of our watches are serviced. The "Condition" section of each watch will confirm if the watch has been serviced.

      All of our watches are tested by an independent watchmaker - if a service is needed, the watch will be serviced. If a service hasn't been conducted, it's because the watch itself is too new to need a service, or there is evidence of a recent service.

      What payment methods do you accept?

      We accept payment by all major Credit Cards and Wise.com

      Do I have to pay customs or taxes?

      It depends on so many factors, including but not limited to the cost of the watch, the type of watch you've bought (vintage or new), and the import laws of your country. If you're unsure we recommend checking the import laws that relate to your country before ordering.

      Are your watches water resistant?

      Our serviced watches are typically tested to their original water resistant specifications, but we would never recommend pushing vintage or neo-vintage watches to their depth limits.

      What is your returns policy?

      Due to the vintage and neo-vintage nature of most of our watches, we do not offer returns under normal circumstances. All sales should be considered final.
