THE CAUSE

The inaugural Green Auction held on Earth Day in
2010 raised $2.4 million.
This year, on March 29th, Christie’s auction house
will stage its Green Auction to benefit the environment,
with proceeds earmarked for not-for-profit environmental
organizations such as:

• Conservation International – the international association
empowers societies to responsibly and sustainably care for
nature.

• Natural Resources Defense Council – this American
environmental action group, combines the grassroots power
of 1.3 million members.

• Oceana - it focuses solely on ocean conservation,
protecting marine ecosystems and endangered species.



THE WATCH

The Swiss Haute Horlogerie Manufacture Girard-
Perregaux joins this collective action by donating a
unique timepiece: the ww.tc Chronograph for Green
Auction.

Stefano Macaluso, President of the Sowind Group
said: “We are pleased to create an exclusive watch for
the Green Auction. At Girard-Perregaux, we are fully
aware of the ecological issues at hand and feel it is
important to incorporate environmental responsibility
in our business philosophy.”

The ww.tc (world wide time control) collection is one
of the Girard-Perregaux’ iconic lines.
The exclusive GP033C0 in-house movement combines
chronograph and date functions with world time
indication. Its finishes, which can be seen through the
sapphire case-back, are examples of the brand’s finest
tradition: circular graining on the main plate, Côtes
de Genève on the bridges and oscillating weight, or
blued steel screws.

For the ww.tc Chronograph for Green Auction,
the generously sized case is satin-finished, which
emphasizes the subtle strength of its design and the
24-hour ring has been decorated with a green/white
contrast to honor the Green Auction cause.
