Girard Perregaux 2014 BaselWorld: Traveller WW TC, Rose Gold.

Watches with different time zones are not a recent love story, for Girard Perregaux. I have been aware, through the press release document, that Jean François BAUTTE made Pocket watchs with different time zones as soon as... 1830! The first time zone Pock...  

In a nutshell.......

I really like the complication, I really like the case and its lugs and I really like the hands. I do not like at all, the date which detracts from an otherwise very nice and thoughtful dial and I cannot see myself wearing a 44mm watch. So, for me very ni... 

Thanks for your input, my friend. Yes, smaller would be better...

But I agree even more with you on the date... :) Best, Nicolas

Great overview

Thx Nicolas for this report with the various new Traveller models, in particular for finding that old pocket watch. I believe GP dropped the cumbersome naming, which is a good change. Overall, I still in favour of the previous models, but that's just my... 

For the pocket watch, the picture has been provided by my contact at the Manufacture.

To be honest, I much prefer the former WW TC, except for one detail that I find to be really interesting and great, the lack of the crown. Best, and thanks for your feedback, CC. Nicolas

Thank you for this report, Nicolas! :)

I must say that I prefer the new Traveller without the crown at 9 o'clock. 44 mm is big, but as you can see in this photo of the steel version, it is not too big. The dial is beautiful and even if crowded, it doesn't feel like too much. If something shoul...  

Without the date, that would be much better, I agree.

Still have to get familiar with the lugs on the left side, though... Best, my friend, and thanks for reading. Nicolas

Or move the date to 4 o'clock...?

That would make the dial "cleaner". I must say that I like the lugs on the new case - they are curved downwards which makes it easier to wear, IMO. Best, my friend Blomman

Tx for the post...

I'm not so sure about the new case design. Having said that, I'll reserve any further comment until I see it myself. In the meantime, still enjoying mine... ...  

Nice one, Jester!
