Wait wait wait.... Guigario did the MK1 golf? That's incredible! The man was wild! Look at all the cool stuff he had a hand in! That is quite the legacy...

[@IlluminatingWatches]

Cool right?! Learned a lot about car design!

[@johanvandersandt8904]

@@IlluminatingWatches Incredible effort man! Well done!

[@Mofapilot]

He also designed the Fiat Panda, VW Passat, DeLorean 12

[@Agrippa31BC]

⁠@@MofapilotI remember my dad’s old Passat from my childhood, which previously belonged to my grandpa. Never knew it was done by Giugiaro.

[@MyRetroWatches]

Another excellent lessen taught! The detailed research must have taken you so long. It’s appreciated though in the end result.

[@IlluminatingWatches]

Thankyou! It’s just a hobby for me. I love chipping away at it over a while and just take my time. Great way to learn about all sorts of stuff - never thought I would get into car design but here we are!!

[@zornikzornuk3187]

Great video, I was septic at first but now I really start to appreciate this asymmetric Giugiaro design. My pick will be the last Bisho range at 15:13. Thanks for sharing

[@IlluminatingWatches]

Glad I’ve managed to help provide a new perspective !

[@mitchmitchell9588]

Another brilliant video. BTW, Giugiaro had a cult status in Japan from the very earliest stages of his career. Not many people remember the automaker ISUZU but, back in the late 1960s, the hired a very young Giugiaro to design the 117 Coupe. It looks very classically Italian, maybe reminiscent of a Fiat Dino. Later on, Giugiaro designed the Isuzu Piazza, which had that funky steering wheel with the strange controls and a Lotus suspension. We called it Isuzu Impulse here in the States. The clean lines of both these cars stand the test of time. Check them out!

[@IlluminatingWatches]

I’ve got an amazing book that covers most of these called “genius of design”. Lots more information around his car design than I could justify putting in the video. There are also a great series of interviews with him on the ital design KZbin channel

[@mitchmitchell9588]

@@IlluminatingWatches He has a fascinating career! I did not know about the Apple connection, which you mentioned in the video. You are killing it on these videos. Enjoying them a lot. Keep going!

11:17 love this watch. My fav of his designs

[@IlluminatingWatches]

I think it might be my favourite of his designs too. Love the steering wheel

Really appreciated Thankyou!

Great video! I liked a lot the Alba Duck.

[@IlluminatingWatches]

Yes it’s cool! Thanks again for the video idea!

[@manusverzoni2384]

@@IlluminatingWatches by the way being Italian I didn't know about the pasta...

[@jonfesmith7993]

Excellent video, I love the more offbeat watches from Seiko.

[@IlluminatingWatches]

Me too! Lots of variety when you dig below the surface

[@handletoocomplicatedtochange]

Super interesting video for those interested in design history! Thanks!!!

[@PA-zu1ud]

Awesome content!

[@IlluminatingWatches]

Thankyou very much ! I’m glad you enjoyed ! More on the way

[@zillsburyy1]

nice video govna. wow, so much info in one video! i feel like SHORT CIRCUIT "more input!"

[@IlluminatingWatches]

Love short circuit! Yes I do slightly overload the facts into the videos - just my style!!

[@_zzpza]

Fascinating, I had no idea there were so many different models they collaborated on. N.B. I think you had a recurring typo, the Seiko movement is the 7A28, not the A728.

[@Dynamics_Watch_Reviews]

Brilliant content, thank you

[@IlluminatingWatches]

Very glad you enjoyed!!

[@DisplayKeesBack]

Great again, real documentary stuff! I would love a asymmetrical watch! Does somebody has a great budget friendly suggestion?

[@IlluminatingWatches]

Thanks very much! Few giugiaro videos around but hadn’t seen a more comprehensive (ish) one. Thanks to Manus Verzoni on the community tab for the idea

[@iandavidson99]

Brill !!

[@IlluminatingWatches]

Cheers man!

[@jamesblonde2271]

I've confused Tallon and Guigaro myself, long assumed the Lip chronos were his......he really was as important as Genta imho, and a much more versatile talent.

[@IlluminatingWatches]

Any man that designs both pasta and Lamborghinis is the best in my book! I love the lip designer collaborations and their story more generally. Surprised you didn’t mention my little Cosmo phase reference I put in there just for you!

[@jamesblonde2271]

@@IlluminatingWatches 😖 You are obsessed with that bloody Cosmo, also I now find that I can't buy the Ripley re issue because it has that slightly shitty movement so in one pass you've upped my Seiko Savings and loan target from £600ish to £3+ grand, for an original in the correct colour.........cheers
