Girard-Perregaux for Only Watch ’07
June 20, 2007
The Only Watch event is coming again September 20th in Monaco. The Only Watch event is held yearly for watchmakers to design unique pieces that will eventually be auctioned off to benefit research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy. With that being said, some of the most unique watches are showcased. One watch that stood out from the rest was a masterpiece produced by Girard-Perregaux. “Unlike any other in the world, this is the first watch to combine perpetual calendar, the indication of time in 24 different international cities as well as the business hours of four major stock markets. The dial displays the date, the day of the week, the month and the moon phase. The mechanism takes into account the length of each month, allowing for the leap years without any manual adjustment before 2100. Two mobile rings on the dial show the opening hours of the New York, London, Hong Kong and Tokyo and the different times around the world”. Ideally this would be perfect for the international traveller, yet, I could still see many others finding this extremely fascinating.
