Governance

Message from the President

Dear CTC Members,

In the association, we are working on our strategic plan, which focuses on four fronts:

Promoting the values of tennis through a competitive calendar and friendly matches between clubs around the world.
Organising online conferences on topics of interest to clubs to help us share information, news, etc.
Solidarity activity with the celebration of intra-club competitions in the month of October in collaboration with local non-profit organisations.
Discounts on tennis equipment, visits to clubs when members travel with the possibility of playing tennis, exchange-erasmus and all the advantages of being a member of a worldwide tennis club entity.

All this to help members enjoy tennis and its secondary benefits.

The perpetual calendar, a mind of gears, automatically accounts for the vagaries of months, including leap years, and may not need adjustment until the year 2100. The minute repeater, the most poetic of complications, transforms time into sound, chiming the hours, quarters, and minutes on tiny gongs at the push of a slide—a melody of pure mechanics.

The tourbillon, invented to counteract gravity’s effect on accuracy, is a mesmerizing rotating cage for the escapement, a whirlwind of technical prowess that symbolizes the watchmaker’s quest for perfection. Each complication is a chapter in a longer story of human curiosity and triumph over micro-engineering challenges.
