I find the newest women's watch from Girard-Perregaux a little sexist (women aren't the only shoppers after all) but the watch is awfully attractive. The Girard-Perregaux ww.tc 24 Hour Shopping Watch gives the time in 24 time zones listing them, not by cities as most watches do, but by shopping destinations. The watch lists places famous for their fashion and luxury boutiques, such as Faubourg Saint-Honoré, Dubai, Ginza and Rode Drive. There are several different versions available and each one focuses on two specific venues: Faubourg Saint-Honoré and Orchard Road, or Montenapoleone and Central or Rue du Rhône and Nan Jing Xi Lu. The other time zones are indicated on the city ring by fifteen different sized diamonds, adding up to 0.18 carats. The dial has diamonds as some of the hour markets and the bezel is set with 54 diamonds (a total of 1.95 carats). The 41mm watch uses the Girard-Perregaux movement GP033G0, a mechanical movement with automatic winding. It has a sapphire crystal and a sapphire back. One nice detail is the onyx cabochons set into the watch crowns.

On September 20 this year, the Only Watch event will take place in Monaco again. For the event, some of the world's finest watchmakers create special unique timepieces to be sold at auction to benefit research on Duchenne muscular dystrophy. This watch is the entry from Girard-Perregaux and it is the only watch in the world to combine a 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. The watch has a 41mm pink gold case with sapphire front and back crystals. The Vacheron Constantin entry is after the jump and I will bring you more Only Watch 2007 models as they are released.

We first heard about this watch when it made its debut at SIHH, now check out the sexy red gold version of the Hours of the World Perpetual Calendar by Girard-Perregaux. The 41mm watch which is ringed with the names of the world's major cities is equipped with an automatic GP 033Q0 mechanical movement with 46-hour power reserve. The watch has a day/night disc and indicates the day, month, date, moon phase on a four year cycle with leap year. It has an anti-reflection sapphire crystal with a transparent screw-down caseback.
