Here we have the Imperator and the Imperia from Chronoswiss, two new watches that continue the Chronoswiss tradition of old-fashioned styling. The watches have similar case designs to another Chronoswiss, the Digiteur, with an elegantly curved style. The numerals on the dial are done in the "Belle Epoque" typeface and the watches are available in either stainless steel or 18K gold with a silver or rose gold dial. Each watch has a sapphire crystal and a display back.
