The Dark Night from Girard-Perregaux
A unique ‘dark’ version of the iconic Girard-Perregaux world-timer, the
ww.tc Dark Night features an imposing 43 mm black ceramic case. The
severity of the case and its precise finishes underline the powerful black
dial highlighted with touches of red and white. The tinted sapphire case
back also discloses the movement behind its shadow.
Beyond a mysterious black aesthetic, ceramic is not only one of the most
durable materials in watchmaking, but it is also light and wearable. The
sophistication of this structure is enhanced by the use of an internal
titanium container. Rubber coated crowns, push buttons and a black
rubber strap supplement its sporty characteristics.
True to Girard-Perregaux principles, the ww.tc Dark Night stands
apart because of its mechanism. The Girard-Perregaux GP03387 selfwinding
movement, designed specifically for this model, displays the
time in twenty-four time zones with day and night indicator, date and
fly-back chronograph. |
