The Worldtimer from Girard-Perregaux from the 1990s is a true classic and is considered one of the first world time watches on the market. The polished steel bezel is edged with gold fluting and bears the names of 24 cities around the globe, each representing a time zone. On the outside of the dial is a rotating 24-hour chapter ring with Arabic numerals for the second time zone. The hour markers are designed with Roman numerals. The blued Breguet steel hands provide an elegant colour contrast. The centre is finely engine-turned and features the classic "Clous de Paris" decoration. The watch is fitted with a stainless steel bracelet with narrow centre links in 18-carat yellow gold.
