A world premiere: GIRARD-PERREGAUX presents the ww.tc - Financial
The new model represents a world´s first: the first chronograph to indicate the different times around the world as well as the business hours of four major stock markets. A technological and aesthetic tour de force, this innovative, high-performance timepiece combines the two exciting worlds of finance and horology.
The ww.tc by GIRARD-PERREGAUX continues to be among the most sought after individual models of the brand. Timeless elegance blends well with resolutely modern functions. These watches can be used to read, simultaneously and very easily, the time in twenty-four different international cities, of which each represents a time zone. All together allows for World Wide Time Control or short, ww.tc.
The world time indication, an ideal feature for international travellers and businessmen, has been added with a novel feature in the ww.tc – financial automatic chronograph, which is launched at the end of this year. For the very first time, a watch now indicates the different times around the world as well as the opening hours of four major stock markets - Hong Kong, London, New York and Tokyo – for business.
The ingenious system of the ww.tc, a propietory development of GIRARD-PERREGAUX, utilizes two mobile discs rotating around the dial.
A 24-hour ring is synchronised with the hour hand, allowing to read the time of a different time zone in a glimpse.
A second disc is adjusted by means of a secondary crown at 9 o’clock; this disc displays the names of the twenty-four cities and the business hours of the four stock markets. Actual times are indicated by means of a red pointer rotating on the hour ring in anti-clockwise direction; in case the red pointer is located opposite of one of the time-slots, the respective stock exchange market is open.
The chronograph’s new exterior finishing underlines the unique lines of this model, combining a strong personality with delicate classicism. In keeping with the brand’s passion for detail, the watch has been perfectly designed and makes for a comfortable yet highly legible companion. The hour ring includes a day/night contrast, which both improves legibility and makes for an harmonious counterplay with the large-numbered, silver or anthracite dial.
The large case of 43mm in diameter is crafted in solid Pink Gold and houses the caliber GP033C0 automatic movement. Powered by a gold rotor on ceramic ball bearings, this sophisticated mechanism, designed and manufactured by the GIRARD-PERREGAUX Manufacture, can be admired through an anti-reflective sapphire crystal.
Two limited, individually-numbered series are planned for ardent steel-case enthusiasts: five hundred will combine this discreet metal with a silver dial, the other five hundred with an anthracite one.
Meninger om denne modellen?
Selv syns jeg den har en utrolig høy "kulhetsfaktor", selv om den vel ikke kan betegnes som direkte vakker. Ser for meg at dette uret lett blir en snakkis.
