Girard Perregeaux WW.TC Small Seconds

There’s an infinite amount of romance in knowing the time anywhere in the world instantaneously. 

With one glance, there’s an awareness as to what point in the day that particular city is in. And the daydreamers filled with wanderlust are temporarily transported across the globe — one moment they're at the footsteps of the ‘Cristo Redentor’ in Rio De Janeiro, and the next, smack dab in the middle of Tokyo’s Shibuya Crossing.

Sound like wistful fantasy? Enter the world timer. This useful complication is a sophisticated (yet practical) way for frequent travelers and global entrepreneurs to track their peers and business interests abroad.

The Girard Perregaux WW.TC is one such timepiece that does all of the above with ease and style.

Making its debut in 2009, the GP WW.TC, which stands for World Wide Time Control, came in two different dial variations — silver and dark grey — the latter of which we have right here! This example, a Reference 49865, features a 41mm stainless steel case, a sapphire crystal, and a peculiar twin-crown configuration with one positioned at 3 o’clock and the other at 9 o’clock — one for controlling the time, the other for adjusting the local time zone.

The dial, adorned with dark sunburst grey, features a rotating world time display and a split 24-hour scale, as well as quadrant Arabic indices, matching feuille hands, and a subsidiary seconds display at 6 o’clock. 

Outfitted with a black leather strap with a steel deployant buckle, this piece is accompanied by all of its factory ephemera including its inner and outer boxes, books, pamphlets, and its original strap and hardware.

Whether you're frequently jumping across time zones or just like to armchair travel, the WW.TC will serve as an excellent companion.
