PE107 - Hemingway watch box
Hemingway spent more than 20 years in Cuba and deeply loved the country for its Latin identity, the same identity that pervades and animates Cuervo y Sobrinos watches. The Cuervo y Sobrinos models are the first Swiss watches to be officially licensed by Hemingway Limited, an organization dedicated to this immense literary figure.
Hemingway lived in Cuba at "Finca Vigia" for 20 years (from 1939 to 1960) and deeply enjoyed his time in his Caribbean refuge. While residing in Cuba, the literary genius often visited the Cuervo y Sobrinos boutique. Now, the watch brand known for its Latin soul has chosen to honor the American writer, a longtime and loyal customer of the company, with a new series of watches produced in collaboration with Hemingway Limited.
Attention to detail is certainly a characteristic dear to the Cuervo y Sobrinos brand, examples of this are certain elements such as the seconds hand of the 'Icónico' models, which ends in a Marlin fishtail shape, and the engraving placed inside the crown that features the writer's quote "In order to write about life first you must live it" in English (at 12 o'clock) and Spanish (at 6 o'clock).
As for the 'Icónico' model, the back of the watch is engraved with the Hemingway logo, in homage to the legendary American novelist. A color-coordinated leather strap and a CyS-branded buckle securely fasten the watch to the wrist.
The Historiador Hemingway collection boasts a license officially granted by Hemingway Limited, an organization that manages the Ernest Hemingway© brand, founded by the writer's eldest son, Jack, in 1988.
