Casquette 2.0 Saint Laurent 01

La Chaux-de-Fonds, June 6t^h, 2023 (3PM CET) – Girard-Perregaux and Saint Laurent Rive Droite have produced a new interpretation of the iconic Casquette watch limited to 100 pieces.

In the 1970s, the Casquette embraced new technologies, new materials and a new design. “Disruptive”, “innovative” and “unorthodox” were just some of the words uttered at the time of its launch. This latest version is as practical as ever, yet as avant-garde.

This watch model, the Casquette, has never bowed to convention. When it was launched in 1976, it represented a break with the conservative norms of Haute Horlogerie. Girard-Perregaux chose to equip the original avant-garde model with a tubular LED display and a quartz movement, in keeping with the watchmaking zeitgeist of the 1970s. Girard-Perregaux was, and remains, a trendsetter.

Anthony Vaccarello decided to re-edit this model in black ceramic and black PVD-treated grade 5 titanium. The light, ergonomic case arches around the wrist, offering comfort. The watch is also equipped with a chronograph and can also display the time in a different location.

The Casquette 2.0 Saint-Laurent 01 will be available exclusively at Saint Laurent Rive Droite stores in Paris and Los Angeles, as well as online via the official Saint Laurent Rive Droite store, in selected countries only.
