Its exclusive system is based on a coupling


Although one of Girard-Perregaux's great classics, the chronograph ww. tc keeps up with the times. Combining usefulness, design and technical complexity, the main feature of the switch is contrast, a technique that highlights the watch's strength of character and intricacy while at the same time offering perfect legibility.

There is no doubt, time is complex. And so is the iconic Girard Perregaux ww. tc chronograph. The world time function gives a simultaneous display of all time specific zones on its switch, as well as date and small second, a chronograph function and a day/night indicator. To experience even clearer legibility, Girard-Perregaux has improved the switch details and emphasized the color contrasts. Legibility advantages of a considerately laid out switch, with the temporal information well-arranged and organized.

The result is a supremely practical watch with a more sporty style, while still retaining the elegance and complexity that characterize the collection. The silver-finish multi-level switch does a great job itself in its coloring contrasting monochrome, while red focuses a person's eye on the important components. The indices, figures and hours and minutes hands are enhanced with a luminescent material. The day/night indicator is instantly well-known, as are the chronograph tables which are finished in black.

The steel case, 43 mm in diameter and waterproof to 30 metres, houses a Manufacture GP033C0 movement which combines a chronograph and a world time indicator. Its exclusive system is based on a coupling mechanism featuring a ring that indicates 24 time specific zones for 24 named cities. This 13''' automatic winder good quality has a fouthy-six hour power reserve. The know how, visible through the sapphire very case back, is hand finished in the most natural traditions of watch-making: the plate features circular graining, the links and oscillating weight host the Côtes de Genève embellishment, and the steel screws are blued.
