In 1985 Ermenegildo Zegna created a revolution in menswear with High Performance, a new wool that fundamentally changed the way in which the business suit was worn by cosmopolitan gentlemen who wanted an all natural solution to the challenges of life on the go.
High Performance wool used a high twist superfine pure Australian merino wool yarn that both enhanced crease resistance and delivered quite remarkable levels of 'spring-back'. The combination of the innovative weaving methods and the high twist yarn created a fabric of almost cellular construction enabling unprecedented breathability that, together with its weight of only 250 grams, enabled men to wear wool all year round and in all climates, not just in autumn and winter.
Today, Ermenegildo Zegna has taken the High Performance concept that it pioneered with fabrics, clothing and applied it to the wristwatch. The result is the new range of High Performance timepieces. Purposeful in their styling and as robust and resilient as their namesake fabric, these handsome watches nevertheless evince the signature sophistication and discretion that is synonymous with the Zegna name.
The new High Performance watch collection by Ermenegildo Zegna represents a selection of high-precision timepieces that embody the signature sophistication synonymous with the Zegna name.
Zegna's High Performance Collection is manufactured by Swiss watchmaker Sowind Manufacture, owner of the brand Girard Perregaux, and delivers the precision and reliability for which the master haute horlogerie is renowned. The collection consists of two distinct styles, High Performance Chronograph in black ceramic - available with a black or a white dial - and High Performance Sea Diver in stainless steel. The dual high performance timepieces make use of the latest breakthroughs and newest materials in watch making, are inspired by sports-driven technologies such as the ceramic components used within top-class automobiles, and lend sophisticated precision to everyday elegance.
