Even with its big shortcomings, such as a too short display time and meager battery life, Girard-Perregaux is following up their Casquette 2.0 with another spectacular retro desire! The Girard-Perregaux Tubette 1.0 features four classic Nixie vacuum tubes mounted laterally, with a center matching small tube to separate the Hour and Minute display.

Having received quite a bit of feedback after our Casquette 2.0 release, Girard-Perregaux has designed the Tubette 1.0 for ease in accessing the batteries. This makes changing power supplies a very simple matter using a single (included) tool. In addition, Girard-Perregaux authorized dealers will provide a lifetime of service for battery changes free of cost.

The special limited edition Girard-Perregaux Tubette 1.0 goes on sale today, April 1, only. As you can imagine, due to the limited supply of Nixie vacuum tubes, only a handful of these have been produced.

Retro design meets modern horology as each limited edition Girard-Perregaux Tubette 1.0 will also come with its own unique NFT.

To provide a fair and honest opportunity to be invited to purchase a Tubette 1.0, those interested can place an $88 deposit at their authorized dealer. While we considered offering this via the internet, we want you to experience the personal touch as only Girard-Perregaux can provide. We want you to become familiar with our authorized dealers, so we may begin a long-lasting relationship with brand enthusiasts.

(and yes, that is me wearing the exciting new Tubette 1.0)

Is the battery included? That’s a keeper.

Lifetime battery changes are included with purchase. Girard-Perregaux brings customer service to what is expected from a luxury Swiss timepiece manufacturer.

If only it was ONE millimeter smaller, it would be perfect.

Print the Krusty AA battery image below on typical Avery address mailer white sticker, then apply it to the battery.
