  • Catalogue Essay

    - The Girard-Perregaux WW.TC is a unique creation that combines the brand's heritage of elegant watchmaking with the excitement and passion of motorsports.

    - The design takes inspiration from Girard-Perregaux's acclaimed Classique Elegance line, but it has been reimagined by former Girard-Perregaux president and motor racing driver, Luigi Macaluso. The result is a feature-packed 43mm world time chronograph that captures the spirit of high-performance automotive engineering.

    - This particular example commemorates the creation of the Ferrari 053 engine, a naturally-aspirated 3.0L V10 that powered the Scuderia Ferrari F1 cars in the 2004 season. That year, the engine helped Ferrari secure both the Constructors' and Drivers' World Championship titles.

    - The watch's design pays tribute to this achievement, with red accents and patterns reminiscent of the carbon fiber used in Formula 1 cars. These elements elevate the sporty, high-performance aesthetic, making this Girard-Perregaux WW.TC the perfect companion for any Formula 1 enthusiast.

    - Please note that the proceeds of the sale of the present watch will be given by the Consignor to various charities.

  • Artist Biography

    Girard Perregaux

    Swiss • 1791

    Celebrating its 225th anniversary in 2016, the company earned its fame as the first vertically integrated Swiss watchmaking company, manufacturing high-grade movements, cases and dials within its premises. Particularly noteworthy are the brand's three-gold-bridge tourbillon pocket watches built by Constant Girard beginning in 1867 — considered amongst the most beautiful movement architectures ever made. An active participant in Switzerland's observatory chronometry competitions, the brand won so many precision awards that they were excluded from competing in 1901.

    Key models include nineteenth and twentieth century pocket watches with three gold bridges, modern tourbillon wristwatches with three gold bridges, minute repeating pocket and wristwatches, as well as sport watches such as the Laureato and Sea Hawk.
