Born in Havana, Made in Switzerland
Few watch brands can claim a history as fascinating as Cuervo y Sobrinos.
Founded in Havana in 1882, the company rapidly became one of the most prestigious jewellery and watch retailers in the Americas. During the early twentieth century, Havana attracted artists, politicians, writers and celebrities from around the world. Visitors to the Cuervo y Sobrinos boutique included Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, Ernest Hemingway and many other iconic figures.
The brand's reputation became so significant that prestigious manufacturers including Rolex, Longines and Patek Philippe produced double-signed watches for the Havana retailer.
Following decades of dormancy after the Cuban Revolution, the brand was revived and re-established as a Swiss luxury watch manufacturer, preserving its unique heritage while embracing modern Swiss watchmaking standards.
