Financial titanium
With the ww.tc Financial titanium, Girard-Perregaux has adorned one of its big hits with an original metal. Vitality and strength are the characteristics of this new chronograph, which indicates both world times and the opening hours of four world’s major stock markets.
Modernity. In the field of art, modernity expresses the tastes and trends of the contemporary age. In terms of fine watchmaking, the ww.tc Financial titanium illustrates modernity in its multiple facets.
Its functions are anchored in the vibrant life of the 21st century: it is the only watch in the world to display both the world’s twenty-four time zones and the business hours of the New York, London, Hong Kong and Tokyo stock markets. The system is based on two mobile discs around the dial: a ring representing the twenty-four hours is synchronised with the hour hand. A second ring may be set with the crown at 9 o’clock. It displays the names of the cities and the four stock markets opening periods. When the red index on the hour ring is opposite one of these periods, the corresponding market is open. Besides the central hour and minute the ww.tc Financial titanium also offers a chronograph, a small second and date at 1.30.
Its sophisticated mechanism is the fruit of the Manufacture’s research: the automatic winding movement GP033C0 was developed by Girard-Perregaux with the constant aim of perfection. This watchmaking technique-packed creation, with its 46-hour power reserve, can be admired through the sapphire case-back.
It has an energetic design, going back to the irresistible codes of the Girard-Perregaux ww.tc collection, with an easily readable display and timeless elegance. It revitalises them with a black dial, punctuated with blue and bright red touches, and a forty-three millimetre titanium case, a light yet strong metal. A rubber strap reinforces the technical and sporty nature of this watch.
