Girard-Perregaux WW.TC Chronograph

[Ernie Romers]

Controlling the World



Although one of Girard-Perregaux’s great classics, the Chronograph WW.TC keeps up with the times combining practicality, design and technical sophistication, the main feature of the dial is contrast, an approach that highlights the watch’s strength of character and complexity while at the same timeoffering perfect legibility.

There is no doubt, time is complex. And so is the iconic Girard-Perregaux WW.TC Chronograph. The world time function providesa simultaneous display of all time zones on its dial, as well asdate and small second, a chronograph function and a day/night indicator. In order to achieve even clearer legibility,girard-Perregaux has improved the dial details and accentuatedthe color contrasts. Legibility benefits from a thoughtfully laidout dial, with the temporal information well-arranged andorganized.

The result is a supremely practical watch with a more sportystyle, while still retaining the elegance and sophistication thatcharacterize the collection. The silver-finish multi-level dialexcels itself in its coloring contrasting black and white, whilered focuses the eye on the key elements. the indices, figuresand hours and minutes hands are enhanced with a luminescentmaterial. The day/night indicator is instantly identifiable, as arethe chronograph counters which are finished in black.


The steel case, 43 mm in diameter and water resistant to 30metres, houses a manufacture GP033C0 movement whichcombines a chronograph and a world time indicator. Itsexclusive system is based on a coupling mechanism featuring aring that indicates 24 time zones for 24 named cities. This 13’’’automatic winder caliber has a 46 hour power reserve. theworkmanship, visible through the sapphire crystal case back, ishand finished in the purest traditions of watch-making: the platefeatures circular graining, the bridges and oscillating weighthost the côtes de genève embellishment, and the steel screwsare blued.
