Cuervo y Sobrinos Robusto Sans Souci: A Nostalgic Ode to 1950s Cuba
Cuervo y Sobrinos invites watch lovers to travel back in time and experience the glamorous world of 1950s Cuba at Sans Souci, a famous nightclub near Havana.
With their new release, the Robusto Sans Souci, Cuervo y Sobrinos invites you to step back in time and visit the enchanting world of 1950s Cuba. This timepiece pays tribute to the Sans Souci, a famous night venue a few miles from Havana, known for its spectacular cabaret shows. By capturing the allure of this bygone era, Cuervo y Sobrinos introduces a vintage-inspired watch that radiates Latin charm.
Situated just seven miles from downtown Havana, the Sans Souci was a world apart from everyday life. Known for its opulent cabaret productions, the venue drew glamorous American performers enticed by the promise of big bucks. With its combination of cabaret, drinks, and dining, the Sans Souci offered everything a hedonistic tourist could desire. The new Robusto Sans Souci is inspired by this period and filled with 1950s charm.
The Robusto Sans Souci is available in three exquisite dial finishes: sunray brushed black, vertical brushed champagne, and sunray brushed blue. The generously sized hour and minute hands work seamlessly with bold Arabic-style indices for clear readability. The hands and indices are coated with Super-LumiNova®, ensuring they glow brightly in low light, perfectly matching the chosen dial color. A small seconds display with a snailed track is located at 6 o’clock, sweetening the vintage appeal. The dial is surrounded by a chemin de fer, a period-style design element that makes it easy to read.
The Robusto Sans Souci comes in a 38.5mm stainless steel case paired with a color-coordinated leather strap featuring tone-on-tone stitching or a 3-row stainless steel bracelet. The polished case is intricately shaped, with the crown nestled in a recessed section of the case band and a similar recess at 9 o’clock, providing a pleasing sense of symmetry. The caseback is engraved with a depiction of the Sans Souci’s iconic entrance, capturing the essence of this historic venue.
Powered by the CYS 5159 (base SW261) automatic caliber, the Robusto Sans Souci reflects the brand’s commitment to Swiss watchmaking excellence while celebrating its Cuban roots. These new watches beautifully merge these two worlds, embodying Cuervo y Sobrinos’ motto: ‘Born in Havana. Crafted in Switzerland.’
