It's a nice video . I loved it.
Seems to me that GP is a bit under-appriciated...
Maybe because the don't use over a hundred millions $ by year in world advertising.
Anyway: Enjoy!

You're damn right...Seems like it's all about advertising and profiling in this world.
Making watches since 1791: Can many brands say that?

Sweet video Will!thumbsup.gif

I've wanted to add something from GP for a long, long time...and I agree, you don't see them posted up very often.  I'll admit to having a thing for the SeaHawk II for some time, and they have some cool rectangular cased designs in their vintage lineup (the Grande Date is way cool IMO). 

Those that do own them seem to have nothing but fantastic things to say about the brand.

That's true enough buddy! Many are talking warm about the Seahawk II and it seems like a great watch: I must say, there's not many 100% in-house companies with such pedigree who produce a 3000m titanium beast...

Great little video..thanks for that Will...sometimes I think we forget just how much time and effort goes into making a timepiece..because all we usually see is the finished product.bravo.gif

You're welcome! Remember that not every watch-brand is putting such efforts in them timepieces. G.P is among the big ones...
And as they say something who's very true: " The watchmaker's tradition of decorating parts who are not visible is considered a mark of respect for the customer..." from 4ยด
So if you paid lot of $ for a watch with a poorly or non decorated movement: You know what you bought... A finger
