Cuervo y Sobrinos Historiador Retrógrado

The Historiador Retrógrado watch by Cuervo y Sobrinos features an unusual date indication. A long hand, positioned adjacent the crown, follows an arcing downward path, from ‘1’ to ‘31’. As the last few minutes of the 31st day elapse, the blued hand returns to its point of origin and commences a new journey. At 6 o’clock, a silver-toned hand indicates the power reserve.

For day of the week display, the Historiador Retrógrado employs a silver-toned hand, positioned at 9 o’clock, which points to a track marked with days of the week, presented on an upper and lower scale.

The rhodium-plated hour and minute hands float above a cobalt blue dial are adorned with ‘Clous de Paris’. Both hands are treated with Super-LumiNova™, enhancing readability in restricted light. Eight pyramidal indexes grace a smooth hour track, which is also marked with silver-hued Roman numerals. A central sweep seconds hand converses with the chemin de fer encircling the dial. Each element of the dial is discreet and seemly.
