On the occasion of the SIHH 2017 exhibition, the legendary 1966 collection by Girard-Perregaux welcomes its first ww.tc model. The World Wide Time Control, or "WW.TC," stands for the world timer complication, which allows the wearer to read off time in an area of the world other than home. The world time watch is similar to the GMT or dual timezone, but with one significant advantage: while GMT watch can display time at one additional selected time zone, the world timer shows the exact time for all 24 time zones at once. This practical function, which is more relevant than ever in a globalized world, is now for the first time available in the most classical collection of urban watches from Girard-Perregaux.
The Girard-Perregaux 1966 collection pays tribute to the 1960s, when the technical and timekeeping innovations established by Girard-Perregaux, namely its high frequency chronometers that ran at 36,000 beats per hour, were awarded the Neuchâtel Observatory Centenary Prize. The modern collection of the Girard-Perregaux 1966 includes many different complications that share that share the same design cues. All of them are simple and elegant, with plain, highly legible dials, and delicate leaf-shaped hands.
The world time complication, which was initially aimed at frequent travelers, is now dedicated to the modern, fully connected gentleman. This sophisticated mechanism is offered in an amazingly user-friendly version, which remains faithful to the 1966’s DNA. The watch, powered by the GP03300, is freed from both the date and the chronograph modules that were present in previous iterations of the ww.tc. A rotating 24-hour disc surrounding the chapter ring features two black/white semi-circles to make a distinction between day and night. All settings and adjustments are performed via two crowns, at 9 and 3 o’clock. The first one is used to determine the reference city at 12 o’clock, while the second one helps adjust the hours and minutes. When setting the hours and minutes, the 24-hour disc is automatically synchronized.
Powered by a Manufacture automatic movement, the watch is endowed with 46 hours of power reserve. It also rules the small seconds indicator, which appears at the 6 o’clock position. The case is topped by a slim, skillfully polished bezel, while the transparent case-back reveals a delicate mechanism. In the spirit of traditional Swiss haute horlogerie, the movement’s components have been meticulously straight-grained, chamfered, circular-grained, and adorned with Côtes de Genève.
The new Girard-Perregaux 1966 ww.tc is available in two versions: one in pink gold with a black alligator leather strap; and the other in steel. The price is yet to be announced at the SIHH 2017.

Latest News from Girard-Perregaux
Girard-Perregaux Laureato Absolute Rock
Earlier this year, in January 2019, on the occasion of the SIHH exhibition, Girard-Perregaux introduced a new concept watch – the Laureato Absolute Rock. Laureato Absolute Rock is the ultimate sporty watch with a Carbon Glass that lies in its core. The innovation guarantees a full water resistance and an extreme compression of the materials during an injection procedure at high temperature. What makes each of the 100 limited edition watches irreplaceable is the integration of blue fibers associated with those of carbon. In other words, each of...
Girard-Perregaux Cosmos
One of the most interesting astronomical watches of the year is the Girard-Perregaux Cosmos, a watch that made it to the GPHG’s list of pre-selected watches in the Calendar and Astronomy category. This poetic and highly complicated timepiece, belonging to the Bridges collection, is a stunning interpretation of the “Earth to Sky” theme. Dominating the center of the dial are two complete globes – celestial and terrestrial. At 3 o’clock, a terrestrial globe serves as a day/night indicator, while a sky chart occupies the 9 o’clock position. The ho...
Girard-Perregaux 1966 Blue Moon Watch
The house of Girard-Perregaux adds to the 1966 collection, which pays tribute to some of the Maison’s most popular creations from the 1960s. The new member of the 1966 watch family is Girard-Perregaux 1966 Blue Moon, a contemporary take on a sporty-elegant classic. Aptly named Blue Moon, the watch features a gradient blue dial, lighter in the center and darker towards the outer edges. The blue backdrop of the dial, reminiscent of a nocturnal sky, provides a nice backdrop for contrasting baton-style hour markers and leaf-shaped hands. A single r...
Girard Perregaux Laureato Absolute Chronograph for Only Watch 2019
The house of Girard Perregaux will once again be participating in the Only Watch auction. Placed under the high patronage of H.S.H. The Prince of Monaco, the 8th edition of the famous watch event will traditionally benefit research on a rare degenerative disorder Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The Swiss watchmaker has created a handsome one of a kind model, a contemporary interpretation of the famous Laureato watch. The Laureato Absolute Chronograph for Only Watch 2019 arrives in a polished and satin-brushed black PVD-coated titanium case. The...
Girard-Perregaux Laureato Tourbillon 43mm
Girard-Perregaux introduces the new Laureato tourbillon, whose design is strongly influenced by the original icon from 1975. The famous Laureato made a majestic comeback in 2016, as a part of Girard-Perregaux’ 225th Anniversary Collection. Initially available only as a limited edition, Laureato was reborn as a complete watch family in 2017. The latest piece joining the prestigious range is the Laureato Tourbillon 43mm – a new size for the already existing model. The sporty elegant Laureato Tourbillon was previously available in four different...
Girard-Perregaux Classic Bridges Pink Gold - SIHH 2018
For the 2018 edition of the Salon International de la Haute Horlogerie (SIHH) Girard-Perregaux unveiled two new Classic Bridges models crafted from pink gold. The new Classic Bridges watches are available in either a 45mm version, tailored for sturdier wrists, or a more discretely proportioned 40mm iteration. In both cases, the new Classic Bridges provide a breathtaking interpretation of Girard-Perregaux’s iconic gold bridges. The new Classic Bridges models feature two beveled, rounded, mirror-polished and satin-brushed gold arrow-shaped bri...
Girard-Perregaux Laureato Skeleton Ceramic
The house of Girard-Perregaux has just released a new version of its emblematic casual-chic Laureato Skeleton watch. This time, the iconic model arrives in a stunning, all-black, ceramic version, while managing to retain the airy side of its nature. The beautiful Laureato, which is instantly recognizable for its polished octagonal bezel fitted on an integrated case, is crafted from the solid block of titanium. The choice of this unique material further reinforces its ergonomic qualities. It is lightweight, scratchproof, extremely hard, and very...
Girard-Perregaux Laureato Black Ceramic 42 mm
For the first time ever, Girard-Perregaux introduces its iconic Laureato model entirely clad in black ceramic. Earlier this year, the famous Swiss watchmaker introduced a completely new Laureato watch family, the fourth evolution of the 1975 created collection "Laureato." The new addition to the contemporary Laureato range is a casual chic and highly wearable watch, distinguished by its strong presence, and bold, dark design. Laureato Black Ceramic 42 mm underpins some of the signature design codes of the classic Laureato. The watch features...
Girard-Perregaux Laureato Skeleton
The latest addition to the Laureato family is the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Skeleton, an openworked timepiece fitted with a skeletonized high-end mechanical movement Calibre GP01800-0006. Interestingly enough, the original Laureato, launched in 1975, was designed to go hand in hand with Girard-Perregaux’s new quartz movement. Who could have guessed that the version released more than 40 years later would be equipped with a high-end automatic movement! The Girard-Perregaux Laureato Skeleton is a handsome new watch with a metal bracelet and a...
Girard-Perregaux Constant Escapement L.M.
In 2008, the house of Girard-Perregaux introduced the Constant Escapement, a major watchmaking breakthrough with a frame integrating a silicon blade thinner than a human hair. Providing constant amplitude and constant rate, the new constant-force escapement revolutionized the foundations of chronometry by ensuring that the watch will beat at a constant rate no matter how much power remains in the barrels. At this year’s BaselWorld watch and jewelry show, exactly ten years since the launch of the first Constant Escapement, that won the presti...
