Smart watches don’t have the best reputation amongst watch afficionados, but Pininfarina Hybrid Watches by Globics is one brand that’s changing perceptions, combining contemporary tech with timeless aesthetics.
Expanding its SENSO collection with the introduction of the SENSO Vanguard Edition, Pininfarina looks to horological classicism to elevate the timepiece away from the ubiquitous touchscreen model.
This new model features a SUS 316L surgical-grade stainless steel bracelet, ensuring high resistance to corrosion, moisture, and chemicals, while its hypoallergenic properties minimize skin irritation.
Creating a cohesive, old-school look, the micro-adjustable bracelet is designed to match PVD-coated watch cases, and is available in three different metal finishes – a gold-tone and black, silver-tone steel-on-steel, and black and chrome grey.
The SENSO Vanguard Edition integrates a range of advanced health-monitoring features. Equipped with state-of-the-art sensors, it tracks sleep scores, stress levels, and overall body mass index (BMI). All collected data syncs with the SENSO companion app, available for both Android and iOS, offering users a 360-degree overview of their well-being.
This combination of tech and luxe aesthetics comes as no surprise given the Italian brand’s heritage. Founder Carozzeria Pininfarina cut his teeth creating limited-run super cars in the 1930s and later designed for Ferrari, with one model, the Cisitalia 202 Coupé, permanently on display at the MoMA.
Each SENSO Vanguard Edition model is priced at £449, and is available now at pininfarina-hybridwatchbyglobics.com.
