The start of 2026 is marked by the presence of Oliver Ebstein, CEO of Chronoswiss, for a strategic meeting with João Saraiva, CEO of Importempo, the brand’s official partner and distributor for three decades. A visit that reaffirms the importance of the Portuguese market in the world of high-end watchmaking.

Oliver Ebstein’s presence in Portugal at the beginning of 2026 marked another significant chapter in the history of Chronoswiss in the national market. The meeting with João Saraiva, leader of Importempo, symbolized the continuation of a solid partnership, built over the last 30 years of representing the Swiss brand in Portugal.

During the visit, the CEO of Chronoswiss highlighted the special relationship he maintains with the country and its local partners, emphasizing that “Portugal is a market that truly understands what we do.” Oliver Ebstein, known for his approachable attitude and advocacy of family-inspired management, found in Importempo a partner with a similar philosophy. Both companies share a long-term vision, based on building lasting relationships and valuing watchmaking heritage.

The visit also served to reinforce Chronoswiss’s commitment to the national market, considered strategic in southern Europe. Portugal has stood out for the loyalty of its collectors, its sensitivity to design, and its appreciation for mechanical craftsmanship—characteristics that align with the “Modern Mechanics” concept championed by the brand.

A relationship that continues to boost Chronoswiss’s presence in Portugal and project the national market onto the international scene of luxury watchmaking.
