Ernest Hemingway client of Cuervo y Sobrinos

Ernest Miller Hemingway (1899-1961) had a rich and varied life that will never be forgotten. Indeed, his personal story could stand comparison with one of his acclaimed fictional works.

Indeed, his personal story could stand comparison with one of his acclaimed fictional works. Whereas during his life, he was a journalist, an ambulance man, a rebel, a hunter and a fisherman, he will forever be known for his literary works.

Hemingway lived in Cuba at “Finca Vigia” for 20 years (1939-1960) and clearly enjoyed his time at his Caribbean retreat. Whilst resident in Cuba, the literary genius frequently visited the Cuervo y Sobrinos boutique. Now, the watch brand known for its Latin soul has chosen to honour the American author, a former patron of the firm, with a new series of watches produced in collaboration with Hemingway Limited.

The Historiador Hemingway comprises four watches. The creative team at Cuervo y Sobrinos has selected vintage-inspired shades such as mellow creams and tobacco toned hues, colours that would have been familiar to Ernest during his time in Cuba.

Aspiring literary figures have a choice of cream or brown dials, both versions limited to 140 pieces each. In addition, Cuervo y Sobrinos, also offers a two-piece set (limted to 30) comprising one watch with a silver-toned dial and a second watch with a black dial.
