Emporio Armani has appointed Farhan Akhtar as its first Indian brand ambassador for watches in India, according to reports published on 5 October 2026. The appointment is for Emporio Armani Watches in the Indian market; it is not reported as a global ambassadorship for the wider fashion brand.
What is Farhan Akhtar’s Emporio Armani role?
Bollywood Hungama, Fortune India and ETBrandEquity describe Akhtar’s appointment as an India-market role for Emporio Armani Watches.

The reports date the announcement to 5 October 2026. They do not establish the partnership’s fee or contract duration, and no campaign deliverables or sales impact have been reported.

What did Farhan Akhtar say about the association?
In comments quoted by Bollywood Hungama and Fortune India, Akhtar said: “I’ve always admired Emporio Armani for its ability to remain relevant without chasing trends. There is a timelessness to the brand that comes from being confident in its identity while continuing to evolve with the times. That’s a philosophy I deeply respect, and one that makes this association with Emporio Armani Watches especially meaningful for me.”
