In 1976, Girard-Perregaux introduced a pioneering timepiece affectionately dubbed "Casquette" by enthusiasts.
It featured a tubular LED display and quartz movement, departing from traditional watch designs.
Its innovative LED display, offering hours, minutes, seconds, day, and date, epitomized avant-garde styling reminiscent of 70s muscle cars.
Girard-Perregaux's design philosophy emphasizes integration and ergonomic considerations,
evident in the Casquette's integrated bracelets and varied case materials.
