A Partnership with Sowind, Owner of the Girard-Perregaux Brand



The "High Performance" collection expresses Ermenegildo Zegna's signature elegance through timepieces. Its roots trace back to 1985, when the brand revolutionized the concept of suits by introducing wrinkle-resistant "High Performance" fabric, breathing new life into menswear.

The watch collection, characterized by its simple styling, elasticity, and strength, is produced by Sowind, a Swiss fine watchmaking master and owner of the Girard-Perregaux brand. Innovative materials, such as ceramic components used in luxury cars and technologies advanced in the world of sports, have been incorporated to bring high precision to everyday elegant timepieces.

The "High Performance Chronograph," available with a black or white dial, features ergonomically designed rubber-coated push-buttons and a screw-down crown. The hour markers, with Arabic numerals and baton hands, are designed for enhanced legibility on the face and subdials.

The "High Performance Sea Diver," a robust steel diving watch, boasts a bidirectional rotating bezel mounted in a boldly designed black aluminum sleeve. Its stylish design is highlighted by sword-shaped minute hands and snakehead hour hands.

The "High Performance" collection, a fusion of precision, technology, and style, is the result of the collaboration between Ermenegildo Zegna and Sowind. It is the ideal timepiece for men leading fulfilling lives, suitable for any occasion, whether for business or vacation, throughout the year.
