Some tried to imitate it may times...but they didn’t succeed. It’s absolutely impossible to imitate because of the extreme complexity in its construction and finishing’s. The Impero watch, beyond a decade from its creation, still remains Zannetti’s business card all over the world.
The success of the Impero collection hasn’t any borders. It honors a style and a creativity which is the best part of the “Contemporary Orologerie”. The main inspiration comes from the roman civilization, with the Greek symbols that frame the sides of the case and the feathered helm engraved on the bottom. It reflects the perfect job of the artisans that created this watch entirely by hand. The watch is available with a gold or palladium case.
Its construction imposes the maison to absolutely make a limited edition.
