Cuervo y Sobrinos: exclusive watches with a Latin soul

If a watch, then only Swiss. But what if Swiss precision and artistic craftsmanship were spiced up with a touch of Latin temperament, imagination, and flair? This is how original, unique timepieces are created, perfectly blending both worlds. We are talking about the brand Cuervo y Sobrinos, which has been appreciated by art craftsmanship enthusiasts since the early 20th century.

 

Cuervo y Sobrinos: from Havana to Switzerland

How did this exotic Swiss-Cuban marriage come about? The history of Cuervo y Sobrinos begins in hot Havana at the dawn of the 20th century. It was then that Armando Rio Cuervo opened a small watchmaking workshop with his nephews. The craftsman's products from Havana quickly gained fame, and by 1910 the brand proudly stamped its logo on watches. Ten years later, Cuervo y Sobrinos decided to conquer the European market as well. Thus, representatives of the workshop reached Germany, France, and finally Swiss La Chaux-de-Fonds.

In the 1950s and 60s, a watch from Cuervo y Sobrinos was synonymous with luxury and precise timekeeping. These timepieces were worn by the likes of Albert Einstein, Ernest Hemingway, and Winston Churchill. After political changes in Cuba, the brand ceased to exist for almost 50 years. A new era began in 2002 when the brand was reborn in Europe—specifically in Switzerland. Over the past few years, Cuervo y Sobrinos has reminded the world of its presence and once again captivated with luxurious yet unique watches. All are still created based on traditional methods and are refined in every detail.
