THE STORY
Cuervo y Sobrinos pays tribute to its longtime and loyal customer Ernest Hemingway, celebrated writer and authentic legend of the 20th century, with the launch of a new collection of 3 watches entirely dedicated to the writer, following an acclaimed first limited edition series that was a great success.
Under the patronage of John Hemingway, grandson of the writer, the watch collection will be launched in Key West, Florida for the Hemingway Days 2023, the annual celebration salutes the Nobel Prize–winning author’s writing achievements and enjoyment of the island’s easygoing lifestyle.
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.
For ‘The Fisherman,’ the creative inspiration is certainly related to one of Hemingway’s loves: the infinite love for the sea; in fact, this model is meant to be an homage to “The Old Man and the Sea.”
This novella by the American author was written in Cayo Blanco (Cuba) and was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for fiction in 1953.
With a diameter of 40 mm, this new timepiece feature a stainless steel Historiador case, chosen for its vintage-inspired look and its ergonomic, elongated lugs.
The Fisherman model comes with 2 straps: a denim blue Cordura strap and a metal bracelet. The back of this watch is open and reveals its inner mechanism, the oscillating weight is also engraved with Hemingway’s logo again to pay homage to the writer.
