Introducing Cuervo y Sobrinos Prominente Doble Tiempo (Specs & Value)

Cuervo y Sobrinos, the Swiss model with Cuban roots, has a number of collections named after well-known Cuban cigars. The Prominente, which will get its title from one of many largest Cuban cigars, is a set of huge rectangular watches with a decidedly Artwork Deco aptitude. 4 new Doble Tiempo (twin time/GMT) fashions be a part of the gathering fitted with two impartial actions. Accessible in 4 completely different dial colors, the benefit of getting two separate actions signifies that the time might be displayed appropriately in two completely different areas regardless of their UTC offset.

Havana Temper

Like all Cuervo y Sobrinos designs, the temper is markedly retro. Established in Havana in 1882, the model was revived within the late Nineteen Nineties after which acquired by a staff of traders in 2018 with Massimo Rossi as CEO and headquarters in Capolago, within the Swiss canton of Ticino. Cuervo y Sobrinos has carved a distinct segment for itself with fashions that lean closely on classic design cues and lavish personalities. The instances are bigger than the unique classic items that impressed the collections consistent with extra up to date tastes. Cuervos y Sobrinos is all about recreating the Golden Days of La Habana within the Nineteen Fifties when socialites and celebrities flocked to this unique island playground (you possibly can learn in regards to the firm’s vibrant historical past on this article).

Outstanding case dimension

Two-Timer

Two separate actions signifies that 30 and 45-minute UTC (Common Coordinated Time) offsets adopted by nations like India, Iran and Afghanistan might be set independently.

flamboyant dial

The inscriptions ‘Cuervo y Sobrinos’ and ‘Habana’ seem within the high dial, though I’m positive a Cuban would like to see the capital spelt out as ‘La Habana’.

The highest dial, representing native time, is oval-shaped and aligned vertically with markings on the minute monitor that develop in dimension to replicate the altering dimensions of the guilloché sample. The stamped Arabic numerals are additionally of various sizes similar to the area offered and contribute to the dynamic attraction of the dial.

Additionally oval-shaped, the 24-hour smaller dial is aligned horizontally and options printed white Arabic numerals to tell apart it from the bigger dial. Each dials depend on Breguet-style hour and minute fingers with a contact of luminescence at their suggestions.
