The watch world has welcomed a stunning new creation that perfectly captures the spirit of Havana's golden age.
The Cuervo y Sobrinos Historiador Gran Reserva collection stands as a beautiful example of how Swiss watchmaking skills can blend with Latin charm.
This new collection shows the brand's strong commitment to making timepieces that are both elegant and bold.
The Story Behind the Historiador Name
The name "Historiador" holds deep meaning for Cuervo y Sobrinos. A historian's job is to look back at the past and find the special moments that shaped different times. Sometimes, by studying old stories, historians can discover forgotten beauty.
This idea fits perfectly with how Cuervo y Sobrinos makes watches - they keep old traditions alive while creating something new and exciting.
A Tribute to Dr. Eusebio Leal Spengler
The Historiador Gran Reserva collection carries special meaning because it honors Dr. Eusebio Leal Spengler, Havana's official Historian. Dr. Leal worked tirelessly to protect Cuba's cultural treasures and helped bring many of the city's beautiful buildings back to life.
In 2009, he supported Cuervo y Sobrinos when they reopened their historic boutique in Havana. To thank him for his amazing work in helping Havana shine again, the brand named their classic watch collection "Historiador."
Swiss Excellence: The La Joux-Perret G100 Movement
At the heart of every Historiador Gran Reserva watch beats the La Joux-Perret G100 automatic movement. This fine Swiss movement delivers an impressive 68-hour power reserve, which means the watch can keep running for almost three days without being wound.
The movement is visible through a beautiful see-through case back that shows the brand's special symbols: Cuervo y Sobrinos, 1882, and Habana.
The Beauty of Sunray Guilloché
The dial of each Historiador Gran Reserva watch features stunning sunray guilloché work. This special technique creates beautiful lines that spread out from the center like rays of sunshine.
The dial comes in four amazing smoked colors - red, blue, green, and anthracite - that create incredible depth and sparkle.
These colors capture the energy and joy of Cuba while showing off the careful craftsmanship that goes into each watch.
Stainless Steel Case: Strong and Elegant
The case of the Historiador Gran Reserva collection is made from high-quality stainless steel. This material is both strong and beautiful, making it perfect for everyday wear.
The case measures 40mm across, which fits nicely on most wrists. A double-curved sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating protects the dial while making it easy to read the time.
Leather Straps: Comfort and Style
Each Historiador Gran Reserva watch comes with beautiful leather straps made from high-quality calf leather.
These straps are carefully matched to the color of each dial, creating a perfect harmony between all parts of the watch. The straps are closed with a special open-worked clasp that shows the CyS brand symbol.
Design Details That Matter
The Historiador Gran Reserva collection includes many thoughtful design touches. A historical Cuervo y Sobrinos logo appears on the dial in capital letters, along with the proud motto "Born in l'Habana."
An applied CyS emblem sits at 12 o'clock with red details that match the red-tipped seconds hand. These small touches show the brand's attention to detail and pride in their Cuban heritage.
Four Beautiful Variations
The Historiador Gran Reserva collection offers four different versions, each with its own character:
Reference 3101.1GRR features a rich red dial
Reference 3101.1GRB showcases a deep blue dial
Reference 3101.1GRG displays a vibrant green dial
Reference 3101.1GRA presents an elegant anthracite dial
Technical Excellence
Beyond their beauty, these watches are built for performance. The automatic movement runs at 28,800 beats per hour and includes 24 jewels for smooth operation.
The date display appears at 6 o'clock, and the watch is water resistant to 5 ATM. The oscillating weight features fan decoration and an applied CyS emblem in beautiful gold finish.
A Modern Classic
The Historiador Gran Reserva collection represents everything that makes Cuervo y Sobrinos special. It combines Swiss technical excellence with the warm spirit of Havana.
Each watch tells a story of heritage, craftsmanship, and the beauty of rediscovering forgotten treasures.
Conclusion
The Cuervo y Sobrinos Historiador Gran Reserva collection stands as a perfect example of how tradition and innovation can work together.
With its La Joux-Perret G100 movement, sunray guilloché dial, stainless steel case, and beautiful leather straps, this collection offers watch lovers something truly special.
