Girard Perregaux ww.tc 24 Hour Shopping Judged Year's Most Beautiful Women's Watch

Last month, the Prix Officiel de la Revue des Montres 2008 in Paris announced that the Girard Perregaux ww.tc. 24 Hour Shopping was the most beautiful women's watch of 2008. The ww.tc 24 Hour Shopping is the female version of the men's ww.tc Financial that boasted the ability to track the opening and closing times of world financial markets. Taken to a whimsical extreme, the same is done for hot shopping spots around the world in the ww.tc 24 Hour Shopping. The automatic GP033G0 movement features a second crown on the left side of the watch that adjusts the time featured on the timezone dial. Adjusting the left crown moves the outermost dial ring to switch between timezones, with popular shopping locations mentioned at particular timezone indicators. Locations include the high rent Ginza district in Tokyo, to Dubai, now a world-class shopping destination. Additional features include a power reserve indicator and 24 hour ring with day and night indication.
Included on the dial and bezel are over 80 diamonds. The highly polished steel case is a large (for a woman's watch) 37.5mm wide . A mother of pearl face alludes to the popular lady's line of Girard Perregaux Cat's Eye watches, and onyx cabochons in the crowns help connect the black tones of the dial and alligator strap. My opinion is that the Girard Perregaux ww.tc 24 Hour Shopping should be awarded the most wearable women's watch of 2008 given its aesthetics and function, rather than strict beauty. The title of most beautiful watch might not be best suited in this instance.

Where is Orchard Road, as seen on the dial surround?
