Girard Perregaux WW TC: How do you like it?

Classic?

Simple?

Sporty?

Dark, very dark?

Complicated?

Highly complicated?

Deliciously sophisticated?

During its 10 years of life and since the birth of the first model, the WW TC Chronograph featured in the first pciture of this view, GP, as you can see, released a a wide range of offers.

Among all of these beauties, I had the WW TC Chrono, exactly like the one featured in the first picture, in white gold.

I sold it, but the WW TC is a watch and a family I always loved.

If I had to come back to this family -which I thought more than once- I would certainly change my mind, and take another direction.

First, a no date version, like the one in the second picture, called " Simple ", or the deliciously sophisticated " John Harrison ".

But both house an automatic movement... But both are so highly desirable!

So, if possible, and if money was not a problem, the WW TC Tourbillon, which is my absolute favourite, and not only among the WW TC!

Or, this superb enamel WW TC Tourbillon, which is just the pinnacle of the Sublime, if I may say so.

World Time + Enamel Cloisonné + Tourbillon with 3 Gold Bridges, what else?

And you? What would be your take, here, and why?

Best.

Nicolas.

With the moon display, it is the perpetual calendar. Nice choice. [nt]

Tourbillon Three Golden Bridges, Enamel World map, .....

The smaller case in white metal! :) Only problem is that it is a Piece Unique... So either the John Harrison Enamel dial or the Tourbillon Three Golden Bridges... Thank you for this great line up, Nicolas! And there are several more versions you could add...

Well, this last two years line is the Traveller WW TC, not really the same..

But I do agree with your selection... Surprising? No! ;) Best, Nicolas

I prefer the classic small seconds only, in titanium

although I bought (and am wearing right now) sporty, so ... Cazalea ...

The small seconds has another advantage. It comes in a smaller case, if I am correct. [nt]

my vote goes to the perpetual calendar...

By: iadxb : January 2nd, 2015-09:02

Thank you for your post and a selection of delicious WWTC examples. The list of options is a bit unfair though, who would say no 3 gold bridges tourbillon with enamel dial? But that being piece unique, most of us are unlikely to ever see it :) So from the...

Thanks for your feedback, Ibrahim.

all classic guy :) First one hits all the right buttons for me Enamel tourb piece unique is sublime but I like old case more than new There was piece unique for Green auction I like very much Great idea to line up different versions of It would be great ...

Shared love for the WW TC former versions.

Many versions, yes, at the oint I think it would be very tough to sum all the editions of the different references. But the good thing is that you can't go wrong. The WW TC is a super cool concept, and should I precise that when they were launched, there ...

The enamel one, three bridges Tourbillon gets all the essence of this brand...

By: Clueless_Collector : January 2nd, 2015-13:18

Really nice and delicious. Not to forget one that tells the time for financial market opening, which is useful for some. Thanks for the compilation, this series from GP needs more recognition. Rgds Raymond ...

A feast for the eyes, all these WW TCs. Thanks, Raymond. I can't agree more.

There are so many cool, fine, refined and highly tempting GPs to discover or rediscover! Best, Nicolas

Hello Nicolas! You know that I´m a man of simple tastes...

By: Subexplorer : January 6th, 2015-12:15

... so I would go for the enamel dial Harrison version (or the enamel/tourbillon if money wouldn´t be a problem) but as money IS a problem I am happy with my plainer (but no less charming) stainless steel case version with power reserve (Special Edition f...

What's not to love, my friend. I would go even simpler, for the small seconds one. [nt]
