Cuervo y Sobrinos Historiador Pequenos Segundos // Review, Price
Cuba isn't the first place that comes to mind when you think about watchmaking. Cuervo y Sobrinos is arguably the only luxury watch brand with true Latin roots, born in Havana's San Rafael Avenue. Now headquartered in Le Noirmont, Switzerland, the brand combines contemporary Swiss craftsmanship with design inspiration from Havana's golden years. The Historiador Peque?os Segundos was inspired by a vintage company piece from 1946, but also carries a modern vibe with both classic and edgy design elements. Let's look at a deceptively conservative piece that celebrates the Latin spirit. ?BACKGROUNDFounded in 1882, Cuervo y Sobrinos quickly became known for both fine jewellery and watches. The name is derived from Armando R¨ªo Cuervo, who in 1900 worked with his family to expand his uncle's company – Cuervo y Sobrinos translates to Cuervo and Nephews. In 1920, the brand expanded to Europe, networking in Pforzheim, Germany and on Rue Mezlay in Paris. A production site would be set up a d

Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle collection now in slate grey
Slate grey and pink gold is a combination that definitely works. Warm, contrasted and highly elegant, this is no surprises that a brand such as Vacheron Constantin, not shy?in creating elegant watches, already chose this color scheme in the past. Yet, today, they are pushing it a few steps further, as the?Traditionnelle Collection receives the slate grey / pink gold treatment on 6 of its models.All of these watches share common elements, which define the?Traditionnelle Collection: a round stepped case, slim bezel and fluted caseback; a railway-track minute circle, batons de Geneve applied hour-markers and Dauphine-type hands. Whether we talk about the simple manual-winding version of the uber-complex Traditionnelle calibre 2755, there’s a clear shared pedigree. These watches are “traditionnelles” in many ways, as highly classical, but not void of elegance… at all. This is now even truer with the new additions, showing a dark grey (named slate) dial with a warm a
