The limited edition digital watch mixes retro with modern flair
If you're in the market for a luxury digital watch that isn’t named after a fruit, Girard-Perregaux Casquette is a good bet. First launched in 1976, it was a revolutionary move back then for a high-end Swiss manufacture, not just for the fact that it is equipped with a digital display and a quartz movement but also its boxy case design. Produced in a limited run of about 8,000 pieces from 1976-1978, it became a huge cult favourite.
