Girard-Perregaux-Shopping-Watch

The world becomes an extremely alluring place when women take over. The proof of this is provided by the ww.tc 24 Hour Shopping, which gives the time in twenty-four time zones, with its own particular interpretation of the planet: it indicates the time not in cities, but in places famous for their fashion and luxury boutiques, such as Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Dubai or Ginza. 

 

The time has come to see the world women’s way. With the ww.tc 24 Hour Shopping, Girard-Perregaux presents an irresistible world, lit up with diamonds and alluring steps. The mechanism allows for a subtlety in the world time display: Paris, New York and Tokyo have disappeared from the city ring, yielding pride of place to avenues and squares world-renowned as cult shopping locations. The other time zones are indicated on the city ring by fifteen different sized diamonds, adding up to 0.18 carat. As an additional finesse, it is possible to adapt your ww.tc 24 Hour Shopping to your favourite locations, as there are several versions available. Each of them focuses on two specific venues: Faubourg Saint-Honoré and Orchard Road, or Montenapoleone and Central or Rue du Rhône and Nan Jing Xi Lu.



On the dial, the hours are also punctuated by eight diamonds alternating with soft arabesques. From midnight to midday, the hour ring displays a day/night contrast, while the all-black city ring stands out elegantly against the white mother-of-pearl dial. Black also adorns the alligator strap and the onyx cabochons on the crowns. To round off the work to perfection, a bezel set with fifty-four diamonds (c. 1.95 carats) gleams against the steel case. This sophisticated watch has been designed as a haute couture model, aimed at elegant women who know what they want. With its forty-one millimetre diameter case, this piece asserts its refined style on the most graceful wrists.

 


The technical aspect of this creation is in no way inferior to the brilliant aesthetics: with the automatic winding mechanical movement GP033G0 visible through the sapphire case-back, a small second and power reserve indicator complement the world time display.

 


A synonym for glamour, the ww.tc 24 Hour Shopping re-enchants time all around the world, asserting a highly feminine reality: sophistication can set its own rules, even turn the world on its head!
