Looking to its rich heritage, Cuervo y Sobrinos renews the Robusto collection by reinterpreting the brand's classic style in a modern key. With a vintage touch.
One of the most important signs of a product's success is when it succeeds in reflecting the history and character of the company that created it, expressing the particular and unique imprint from which it was born and which makes it clearly identifiable. In this sense, therefore, it seems to us that the new models in the Robusto collection of Cuervo y Sobrinos are definitely a successful product, because they are able to transfer the brand's Latin style and roots into modern, contemporary watches.
Starting with the Robusto 1935, inspired by a 1930s watch of the Cuban-born brand from which it takes a certain Art Deco charm, while at the same time remaining a contemporary specimen, a child of its time, who distinguished by an informal classicism suitable for any occasion. The Robusto 1935 has a 40 mm steel case with redesigned, compact lines and alternating polished and satin-finished surfaces.
