It stands for "World Wide Time Control." This sounds like a replica watch gift device that a vintage era James Bond villain would have come up with, but the idea is sound.The idea is to be able and tell the time of any of the major world time zones right on the dial.This is done with a special type of rotating 24 hour disc and the labeling of the major reference cities around the periphery of the dial.System can also be used to tell which direction the sun is moving, and whether it is day or night time in cities.
I say "major timezones" because we have something like 40 or more of them on Earth, but knowing 24 of them is what most people need.There are probably over a dozen models of the tc available right now.There are chronograph versions, small replica A Lange & Sohne Langematik womens watches seconds version, perpetual calendars, power reserve models, and ones with fanciful timezone reference cities such as 24 Hour Shopping version for the ladies.I focused on the chronograph versions as they have a particularly chic look.
Plus the newest version in ceramic is really awesome.That is the Girard Perregaux tc Shadow.It is basically the same as the standard Financial replica A Lange & Sohne Lange Double Spl womens watches version but in an all ceramic case and it has a Flyback style chronograph.All the men's tc watches are 43mm wide.The ceramic case of the tc Shadow is incredible.Usually ceramic cases are made in modern or different looking styles, but Girard Perregaux took the standard shape of the watch in did it in ceramic.
