Swiss luxury watch brand Cuervo y Sobrinos presents a new edition of the Historiador Asturias, featuring an anthracite dial. Moreover, the Asturias watch is now equipped with the automatic CYS 5124 movement, produced on a La Joux-Perret G100 base.

This watch collection is named after Asturias, a region in northwest Spain where Ramón Fernández Cuervoan, the founder of Cuervo y Sobrinos was born.

The Historiador Asturias series honours the Cuervo family birthplace. These watches belong to the Historiador collection, a range of classical models that celebrate the history and traditions of Cuba.

The highly readable dial boasts graceful Lozangé-style hands and applied baton-style indexes. A rectangular date aperture, positioned at 6 o’clock, reveals white numerals atop a black disc. Other details include a lithe central seconds hand and an applied CyS emblem positioned at 12 o’clock.

Cuervo y Sobrinos has equipped the new Historiador Asturias watch models with the CyS 5124 calibre, an automatic Swiss movement based on the La Joux-Perret G-100. Visible through the sapphire crystal case-back, the oscillating weight is decorated with Côtes de Genève and features the brand’s emblem. This 24 jewel self-winding mechanical calibre provides a power reserve of 68 hours.

Inspired by some of the Cuervo y Sobrinos watch models produced in the 1940s, the case design of Historiador Asturias echoes the styling of this era.

The 40mm diameter steel case is highly polished, accentuating its gently arcing contours. The elongated lugs project from the case, resulting in the watch sitting squarely and comfortably upon the wrist. The double curved sapphire crystal augments readability.

The Cuervo y Sobrinos Historiador Asturias watch is available in five dial colours: Anthracite, Agua Blue, British Green, Negroni Red and Tropical Tobacco.

Cuervo y Sobrinos has launched a new edition of its classic Historiador ‘Flameante’ timepiece, in partnership with and available exclusively at renowned British retailer, CW Sellors.

Combining the grand British style with the Cuban flair, this exclusive British Racing Green edition is limited to just 30 pieces.

Inspired by an original model produced by Cuervo y Sobrinos in the 1950s, the new Historiador Flameante watch features an ultra-slim, vintage-style case and a green swirling guilloché flame motif dial.

The luxurious shade of the dial highlights the elegant British style, as well as Roman numerals at 3, 6 and 9 that echo traditional English watches and clocks.

Eight silver spear-shaped and faceted hour markers, along with the Roman numerals at 3, 6 and 9 and the brand logo at noon, are applied to the surface of the dial providing additional depth and volume. At 6 o’clock, there is a recessed small seconds counter with a snailed interior and the word ‘Flameante’. The elegant lance-shaped hands have luminescent coating at their tips.

The vintage-inspired double-curved sapphire crystal front glass ensures excellent dial legibility and showcases the beautiful pattern. The thin bezel offers a generous panorama of the dial.

Available in stainless steel, the case of the Historiador Flameante has a diameter of 40 mm and an ultra-thin height of just 6.2 mm. The jutting lugs are inspired by the tailfins of classic cars popular in Havana. They are ergonomically designed and extremely comfortable on the wrist. Unobtrusive yet easy to manipulate, the crown sits close to the caseband.

The CYS Historiador Flameante watch is equipped with the ultra-thin (2.5 mm) Swiss hand-wound movement (base ETA 7001). Visible through the sapphire crystal window on the caseback, the movement is finished to the highest standard of craftsmanship.

Engraved by hand, plumes and swirls glisten in gold tones and blued screws catch the light to provide vivid contrast. The caseback is engraved with ‘Swiss Manufacture Latin Heritage’, a reference to the unique story of the Cuervo y Sobrinos brand.

A handsome Louisiana alligator strap in British racing green adds the final touch of elegance to the Historiador Flameante.

Swiss luxury watch brand Cuervo y Sobrinos has launched a special Historiador Asturias Pequeños Segundos edition with a montegrappa pen as a set. This timepiece is a tribute to the founding members of the company.

Ramón Fernández Cuervo migrated from his home in Pravia, a town in Asturias in northern Spain, and settled in Cuba. He established a jewellery store in Havana in 1862 and later he invited family members to join him. In 1882, Don Cuervo established a new company with his nephews (sobrinos), the aptly named firm ‘Cuervo y Sobrinos’.

Last year, the brand released the CYS Historiador Asturias watch as a tribute to Ramón and his nephews. Endowed with a sunray dial and offered in a choice of eye-catching hues, it imparts information in a highly legible format. The model has proved incredibly popular, courtesy of its distinctive style, notable quality and impressive value.

Now, building on the success of the Historiador Asturias, Cuervo y Sobrinos has launched a new model, the Historiador Asturias Pequeños Segundos.

This latest creation eschews the centre seconds and date function found on last year’s model in favour of small seconds display, positioned at 6 o’clock.

The Historiador Asturias Pequeños Segundos is available in two dial variants, blue or ivory. The sunray-motif dial transitions from mid-tones at its centre to deep shades near the perimeter. It features Lozangé-style hands, applied baton-style indexes and an applied CyS emblem positioned at 12 o’clock.

The Historiador Asturias Pequeños Segundos is equipped with the CyS 5158 calibre. Based on the Sellita SW 260-1, this automatic Swiss movement features an engraved oscillating weight and has a power-reserve of 38 hours.

This new Cuervo y Sobrinos model takes inspiration from some of the brand’s former watches from the 1940s. The case design echoes the styling of this era, but subscribes to modern tastes with its generous diameter of 40mm.

The steel case is highly polished, accentuating its gently arcing contours. The elongated lugs are ergonomically shaped, following the upper contours of the wrist and conferring extraordinary wearer comfort. The model features a double curved sapphire crystal.

This special Historiador Asturias Pequeños Segundos edition is offered with a montegrappa pen as a set.

Swiss luxury watch brand Cuervo y Sobrinos pays tribute to its former patron, Ernest Hemingway, with the release of a new series.

These timepieces have been developed in partnership with Hemingway Limited, an organization that manages the Ernest Hemingway trademarks. Cuervo y Sobrinos is the first watch brand to be officially licensed by Hemingway Limited, dedicated to a great literary figure.

Hemingway lived in Cuba at ‘Finca Vigia’ for 20 years (1939 – 1960). During that period, the literary genius frequently visited the Cuervo y Sobrinos boutique. Now, the brand has chosen to honour the former patron of the firm with a new series of watches produced in collaboration with Hemingway Limited.

The Historiador Hemingway comprises four watches. The creative team at Cuervo y Sobrinos has selected vintage-inspired shades such as mellow creams and tobacco toned hues, colours that would have been familiar to Ernest during his time in Cuba.

This new model is officially licenced by Hemingway Limited, an organisation that manages the Ernest Hemingway© trademark, initiated by Ernest’s eldest son, Jack and founded by the three sons, in 1988. This timepiece comes with a choice of cream or brown dials. Both versions are limited to 140 pieces each.

In addition, Cuervo y Sobrinos also offers a two-piece set comprising one watch with a silver dial and a second watch with a black dial.

The two-piece set is presented in a travel humidor that can also be used for transporting cigars. The sets are limited to just 30 examples and include two additional black straps.

The hour and minute hands are colour-coordinated and lined with Super-LumiNova®, aiding readability in dim light. The centre seconds hand features a circular counterweight with its shade determined by the dial hue selected.

Each hour is denoted with bold Arabic numerals, again lined with Super-LumiNova®. A fine minute track encircles the dial area, facilitating ease of read off, while an applied CyS emblem is positioned at noon.

Measuring 40mm in diameter, the stainless steel Historiador case stands out with its vintage-inspired appearance and ergonomic elongated lugs. The case back is engraved with a Hemingway logo, as a tribute to the legendary American novelist.

The Historiador Hemingway is equipped with the CyS 5121 calibre, an automatic Swiss movement. Based on the Sellita SW 200, the movement features an engraved oscillating weight and has a power-reserve of 38 hours.

Each timepiece is fitted with a matching color leather strap with CyS-branded clasp. Those watches featuring a black or brown dial have an 18k gold limited edition plate mounted on the side of the case.

The two-piece set is presented in a travel humidor that can also be used for transporting cigars. The sets include two additional black straps.

The new Historiador Doble Luna watch from Cuervo y Sobrinos is endowed with an anthracite dial. This automatic model simultaneously shows the age of the moon in both the Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere.

Colour-coordinated Breguet hour and minute hands float above a sea of blue Clous de Paris guilloche dial, interacting with diamond-shaped indexes and elongated Roman numerals.

A hand, endowed with a red crescent-shaped tip, circumnavigates the dial, pointing to the prevailing date. A brushed steel circlet occupies the central area of the dial and features two apertures, one revealing the day and a second disclosing the month. The brand name CUERVO Y SOBRINOS adorns the upper section of the brushed circlet. A central sweep seconds hand completes the inventory of functions.

The Cuervo y Sobrinos Historiador Doble Luna watch feature a 40mm diameter highly-polished stainless steel case and an ergonomic lug design for comfortable fitting. The style of the case bears a close resemblance to a former design seen on one of the Maison’s vintage models, circa 1946.

This timepiece is equipped with the automatic Calibre CYS 6331, incorporating a colored and decorated oscillating weight.

Swiss luxury watch brand Cuervo y Sobrinos presents Historiador Tradición ‘San Rafael’, a modern interpretation of a 1950s timepiece named ‘Tradition’.

Following its inception in 1882, Cuervo y Sobrinos enjoyed years of continuous growth. On several occasions it moved to ever-larger premises in order to meet the growing demand for its jewellery and watches. Ultimately, the company moved to a new boutique on Calle San Rafael, a prestigious boulevard in Havana. Cuervo y Sobrinos Historiador Tradición ‘San Rafael’ series honours this exceptional retail establishment.

During the 1950s, Cuervo y Sobrinos produced a watch named ‘Tradition’. The dial of the Tradition was enlivened with a grid-shaped motif termed ‘frappage’.

Dauphine-style hour and minute hands conversed with circular indexes, save for 3 and 9 o’clock which featured trapezoidal indexes and 12 o’clock which was denoted with Arabic numerals. The central seconds hand was equipped with a bold, red arrow-shaped tip, while two apertures revealed the prevailing day and date.

Examples of the original Tradition watch are highly-prized by collectors who often appreciate the fusion of Latin style and Swiss watchmaking expertise.

Recently, Cuervo y Sobrinos revisited the ‘Tradition’ of the 1950s, eager to capture some of its period charm. The modern-day Historiador Tradición ‘San Rafael’ is offered in two variants, Champagne or silver.

Each dial is adorned with a ‘frappage’ motif and features dauphine-style hands which emulate those found on the original Tradition of the 1950s. Likewise, the prominent central sweep seconds hand, with its ebullient red tip, references the hand found on the original. The watch features circular and trapezoidal indexes to denote the hours.

Unlike the vintage Tradition, this new model eschews Arabic numerals at 12 o’clock in favour of an applied CyS emblem. The company’s name and the word ‘Tradición’ are presented on two prominent cartouches, imbuing the dial with a three-dimensional allure.

Measuring 40mm in diameter, the stainless steel case is optimally sized for a modern-day audience. Consistent with other Historiador models, the lugs feature an ergonomic design, optimising wearer comfort.

The case back is engraved with a depiction of the brand’s former boutique on Calle San Rafael in Havana and the company’s nomenclature in cursive text. In the past, this portrayal of the boutique was used as a seal applied to the brand’s documents.

The CyS 5203 calibre sits at the heart of the Historiador Tradición ‘San Rafael’. Based on the Sellita SW 240-1, this automatic Swiss movement features an engraved oscillating weight and has a power-reserve of 38 hours.
