GIRARD-PERREGAUX Unveils New "Traveller" Collection

Inheriting the DNA of the Classic "ww.tc" World Timer
The "Traveller" inherits the tradition of Girard-Perregaux's iconic "ww.tc" model, now presented in a new guise. With its smooth lines, dynamic curves, and voluminous form, this supple silhouette embodies the Maison's "now."
Both the "Traveller Moon Phases & Large Date" and "Traveller ww.tc" are equipped with the in-house automatic mechanical movement, Caliber GP03300 series. Both models feature a 44mm case diameter.
In the "Traveller Moon Phases & Power Reserve," new designs are adopted for the moon phase and power reserve indicators. The lunar cycle, representing the period between new moons, boasts Girard-Perregaux's signature precision and appears on a wheel that requires adjustment only once every 122 years. The large date display changes instantaneously in just 15/1000ths of a second, with a lustrous window that crowns the entire composition like a diadem.
Meanwhile, the "Traveller ww.tc" displays a wealth of information on its dial, built upon a complex internal mechanism. Framed by a ring listing world cities and a 24-hour day/night disc, the date is shown in a window at the 2 o'clock position. The strap, designed for maximum ergonomic support, is made of highly flexible rubber, covered in velvet-finish alligator skin, achieving a beautiful integration with the case.
The "Traveller" allows one to journey through the space-time constructed by the watch. While possessing a refined, modern style, it balances both casual and elegant aspects, a timepiece created for the man who travels the world.
