Collection Prominente GMT
“Prominente” is the normal definition used for one of the most
important bands in existence amongst Cuban cigars.
This cigar receives its name thanks to its imposing size (194
mm x 194 mm), making it one of the largest on the market.
The Cuervo y Sobrinos Prominente model is a watch designed for
the untiring traveller; the demand for two sets of times is solved
with great style and decision.
At first glance the watch’s face hides the indication of the second
set of times, as though it were the second hand of a normal watch,
but by taking a closer look the second crown that controls the
second movement independently from the first will not go unnoticed.
In the colonial Havana of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries,
it was essential to live time always with an awareness of the
time that corresponded to the other continent; the Havana of the
epoch of adventurers, businessmen and great travellers constantly
lived this twin sensation of time, their own and that on the other
continent where they had frequently left their heart and sentiments.
For this reason we have endowed this watch with two movements,
two hearts that beat as one but which show two different sets
of times, so that the other half of one’s own heart is never forgotten.
The decided nature of the Prominente model is the one that Cuervo
y Sobrinos have been interpreting for more than a century. Its
generous dimensions (30 mm x 45 mm) make
it an object of worship outside the constraints of an ever present
classicism.
The thickness of the 22 mm strap and brackets, applied to the
case’s sensual “curvex” shape, lends itself to enfold the wrist
until it becomes an integral part of it.
Produced by Cuervo y Sobrinos either in pink gold, making it resemble
skin even more, or in steel, six screws secure the back to the
case, the face is adorned with numbers typical of the thirties
and is available in pink, cream, black or “argenté”, with “decalqué”
numbers. Inside are the two movements that activate this extraordinary
watch, both with automatic loading, modified and positioned obliquely
to endow this model with all the expertise that Cuervo y Sobrinos
apply to all their models.
In addition to the convex sapphire glass with special reflection-prevention
treatment, the soft crocodile skin strap with gold clasp personalized
by Cuervo y Sobrinos or the special steel unfolding safety clasp,
personalized with the Cuervo y Sobrinos logo.
This model is accompanied by a humidifier chest, expressly designed
by Cuervo y Sobrinos for this particular occasion.
