Girard-Perregaux and Saint Laurent Rive Droite have begun production and sales of a new interpretation of the iconic "Casquette," limited to 100 pieces.

This model, known as the "Casquette," was unveiled in 1976 and shattered the conservative norms of the luxury watch industry. Girard-Perregaux combined the avant-garde original model with a tubular LED display and a quartz movement, reflecting the spirit of the 1970s. Girard-Perregaux is a brand that consistently sets trends.

Anthony Vaccarello decided to reconstruct this model using black ceramic and Grade 5 titanium with black PVD coating. The ergonomic, lightweight case fits the wrist for comfortable wear. Furthermore, it features a chronograph function.

"SAINT LAURENT RIVE DOROITE" is a creative and cultural destination curated by Anthony Vaccarello. Located at 213 Rue Saint-Honoré in Paris, it has also expanded to 469 Rodeo Drive in Los Angeles. This space is named "Rive Droite" in homage to Saint Laurent's Rive Gauche line, which contributed to the democratization of fashion and luxury in the 1960s.

"SAINT LAURENT RIVE DROITE" is a new retail concept for expression, exchange, and lifestyle, offering a wide range of products including limited editions, library items, vintage pieces, music, and photography. It serves as a venue for art, performances, exhibitions, events, and cultural exchange. Under the concept of Creative Director Anthony Vaccarello, it expands the world and DNA of Saint Laurent through a broad and diverse offering, existing as a place to be imagined and embraced in new ways.

Founded in 1791, Girard-Perregaux is one of the oldest continuously operating luxury watch manufacturers. Its name is widely recognized for its exceptional creations that masterfully combine aesthetics and functionality. Its history is marked by numerous impressive pieces, including the iconic "Laureato" model born in 1975 and the legendary "Three Gold Bridges" tourbillon. Girard-Perregaux positioned bridges as essential elements of watchmaking, adopting an innovative approach that makes the invisible visible. Its pioneering spirit is evident in its over 100 patents and awards.

Girard-Perregaux remains one of the few manufacturers driving innovation in watchmaking, having independently mastered watchmaking techniques to create highly reliable timepieces. While it has established its status as a manufacture over a long period, the brand continuously evolves by respecting tradition while always challenging itself with new technologies, cutting-edge materials, and iconic designs. Today, Girard-Perregaux, alongside its sister maison Ulysse Nardin, forms a group of luxury watch manufactures.
