Ermenegildo Zegna patriarch, Gildo Zegna, took his great-grandfather’s 19th century pocket watch as inspiration for the Monterubello Zegna timepiece- the elegant result of a collaboration between Zegna and Swiss watchmaking heavyweight, Girard-Perregaux. The classically-styled watch is named after Zegna founder, Ermenegildo, who was given the title of Conte di Monterubello in 1939. The 38mm rose gold Monterubello is powered by a hefty Girrard-Perregaux movement with a trans-global power reserve of 46 hours. Ideal for: The gentleman who knows the difference between bespoke and su misura.
