World timer for ladies by Girard-Perregaux.

This 2008 launched women's watch in the series ww.tc - Lady from Girard-Perregaux received the award Ladies' Watch of the Year 2008 from the watch magazine "La Revue des Montres" . It combines engineering feat with feminine elegance: all world time zones around the globe can be read. Instead of the "classic" city names usual in world timers, it shows rather legendary shopping addresses such as Rodeo Drive, Faubourg Saint-Honoré or Orchard Road . The jury recognized also the elegant composition of the model with white mother of pearl dial and black city ring and the bezel set with diamonds.

According to the declared intention of Girard-Perregaux, also to offer the ladies technically interesting and elegant watches, this watch was equipped with an automatic movement, not a quartz movement, which is visible through the caseback. In addition to displaying the world time, it offers a power reserve indicator and a small second.
