Pininfarina Hybrid Smartwatches by Globics proudly introduces SINTESI, the brand’s latest hybrid watch collection after the inaugural launch of SENSO last year.

Considered a genius of automobile design by car aficionados, Battista “Pinin” Farina started his eponymous brand 94 years ago and the company he founded was responsible for the designs of some of the most famous and desired supercars in the world, including some of the most iconic Ferraris. The new SINTESI collection draws inspiration from this iconic design legacy and is named after a concept car – Sintesi – designed to highlight new technological scenarios and built to showcase one of Pininfarina‘s latest research related to ‘Liquid’ packaging.

Typically, mechanicals have a decisive impact on the architecture of a vehicle, thereby restricting the freedom of the car designer; however, with ‘Liquid’ packaging, the Sintesi concept car was able to increase space for the passengers without affecting the aerodynamic profile of a car. Its packaging was a demonstration that with innovative technologies, it was possible to distribute space more harmoniously. With a more compact module and refined case, the new SINTESI hybrid watch follows the spirit of this design innovation.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the SINTESI collection features a 316L Stainless Steel case and bezel, complemented by sapphire crystal glass, ensuring both exquisite craftsmanship and exceptional durability. With a water resistance rating of 5ATM (up to 50 meters), the SINTESI collection is engineered to accompany its wearer on any adventure, from the boardroom to the great outdoors. The SINTESI collection is available in four colorways, Sand Dune, Azure Horizon, Midnight Rose and Midnight Shadow. With Sand Dune in particular drawing direct inspiration from the concept car, interchangeable straps are available in an elegant leather or a sports silicone.

Underneath its elegant facade lies a smart, technological marvel, boasting state-of-the-art sensors that empower users to seamlessly navigate their daily lives. From monitoring heart rate and aiding fitness performance to tracking sleep patterns, the SINTESI collection provides a comprehensive suite of features to enhance overall well-being.

“Since the inception of SENSO, our brand has been dedicated to perfecting the Companion App, striving to offer our customers a seamless user experience. With the imminent launch of SINTESI, we’re proud to unveil the latest version of the app, boasting upgraded Bluetooth connectivity and enhanced capabilities to link multiple watches. Additionally, we’re excited to announce multi-language support, initially available in Italian and Spanish, ensuring accessibility for our diverse global audience,” Kelvin Siu, general manager of Globics Technology.
