Cuervo y Sobrinos Watches

The intangible components of these beautiful timepieces are as myriad as the physical pieces: engineering, artistry, revolution, celebrity, glamour, and second chances, to name a few. Founded in 1882 in Havana, Cuba, Cuervo y Sobrinos rivaled Cartier during the years when Havana served as a playground for rich and famous Americans. Early customers included Ernest Hemingway, Clark Gable, Albert Einstein, and more.

When Cuba fell into political turmoil, the brand all but vanished.

But, all was not lost.

Forty years later, an Italian family resurrected Cuervo y Sobrinos, its history, and it technical artistry. The company’s safe was re-opened during the late 1990s, revealing not only the guestbook graced with the immortal names of the company’s first customers, but designs and inspiration used today by the watchmakers in Switzerland who manufacture all the components of new Cuervo y Sobrinos products. Today the romantic history of these marvelous timepieces lives on, lionized in the authentic Cuban humidor that encases each new Cuervo y Sobrinos watch.
