On the masculine side: the ww.tc Shadow
After having been the watch of stockbrokers, then a fan of shopping, the ww.tc is being presented this year in a complex 43mm black ceramic case (1500 hardness on the Vickers Scale), with a satin finish to accentuate even more its sombre appearance. It is equipped with an internal titanium container that encloses a Girard-Perregaux GP0387 automatic movement specially developed for this model. The movement features the date, small seconds, hours in 24 different time zones, flyback chronograph, and a contrasting dial created to accentuate readability.




On the feminine side: the Cat’s Eye Annual Calendar and Signs of the Zodiac
In its characteristic gold oval surrounded by a bezel set with 68 diamonds, the iridescent dial of the latest model in the Cat’s Eye line displays earth time, lunar time, and stellar time driven by a Girard-Perregaux GP033M0 automatic movement.
The watch also features a date placed at 2 o’clock, and an annual calendar that only requires one correction per year, during the month of February. The lunar phases appear at the centre, while at 6 o’clock, a window in the form of a comet displays the changing signs of the zodiac throughout the entire year. At 9 o’clock, the small seconds are shown in an oval indicator. This charming little jewel is as refined as it is poetically astronomical.
