he inaugural Cuban Grand Prix, the “Gran Premio de Cuba”, was held in 1957. The race threaded its way through the grand avenues and vibrant esplanades of Malecón, north of Havana. Juan Manuel Fangio, the famous Argentinian driver, secured victory in his Maserati 300S.

Cuervo y Sobrinos honours this legendary race with a limited-edition chronograph. Dressed in a vibrant shade of red, the dial evokes thoughts of passion. The cream hours and minute hands are leaf-shaped, luminescent and plump, while their colour endows the dial with a bygone charm. The central chronograph seconds hand and counter hands are baton shaped. Two chronograph registers, 30 minutes and 12 hours, are once again in shades of cream, while a small seconds display, positioned at 9 o’clock, is presented in a vivid shade of red.

Measuring 42mm in diameter, the Cuervo y Sobrinos Historiador Gran Premio de Cuba is housed in a stainless steel case. At the heart of the watch sits an automatic Swiss movement, the CyS 8099 calibre. Based on the Valjoux 7753, the movement features an engraved oscillating weight and has a power reserve of 48 hours.

Price: CHF 3,700
