Name: Imperium
Author: ByteWay

A Roman watch face in polished marble and gold: Trajan numerals, a gladius and a spear for hands, and all your data in Roman numerals.

Imperium is an analog face cut in polished stone, with twelve applied Trajan capitals (and the watchmaker's IIII), a Greek-key border, a laurel wreath and a sunk date window. The hour hand is a gladius, the minute hand a spear, the seconds hand Roman red.

• Three stones: Carrara white marble with blued steel, Nero black marble with gold veins, imperial purple Porphyry
• Every dial is ray-traced: polished stone reflections, raised numerals that cast soft shadows, a faint sapphire glint
• The current hour wears a soft halo, with an optional glint when you raise your wrist
• Your data in Roman numerals and classical Latin: steps (PASSVS), heart rate (PVLSVS), Body Battery (VIGOR), stress, calories, floors, intensity minutes, notifications or battery
• Big numbers get a proper vinculum: 7645 is VII with a bar, then DCXLV
• Under S·P·Q·R: the weather, the Roman calendar date (counted to the Kalends, Nones and Ides), or the year from the founding of Rome
• Prefer ordinary digits? One setting switches the data (not the dial) to Arabic numbers
• Tap a field to open its screen on the watch
• Low-power always-on mode: XII, III, VI, IX and hollow gold hands, shifted every minute to protect the screen
