A tribute to the founder’s roots and identity
In the world of luxury watchmaking, few brands can narrate a story as rich and layered as Cuervo y Sobrinos. Founded in Havana in 1882, this Maison embodies a unique intersection between Swiss precision and vibrant Latin heritage. Every timepiece is more than a mechanical creation — it’s a tribute to culture, legacy, and time as a meaningful dimension.
The Historiador Asturias collection fully embraces this philosophy. Inspired by Asturias, the Spanish region from which founder Ramón Fernández Cuervo originated, the collection doesn’t merely represent a series of watches — it invites you to embark on a symbolic journey through heritage and personal identity. It’s about reclaiming roots and interpreting them through modern elegance.
Every detail in the Historiador Asturias has been crafted to communicate continuity, memory, and character. Wearing it means carrying a story on your wrist, telling your own through the quiet but powerful language of sophisticated design.
The Beginnings That Made History
There is a kind of beauty shaped not by passing moments, but by the weight of time itself — time that forms memory, culture, and roots. It’s from this profound concept of time that Cuervo y Sobrinos emerged: the only luxury watchmaker with a genuine Latin soul. Founded in vibrant Havana in 1882, the brand is the result of a unique cultural blend — the precision of Europe infused with the warmth and rhythm of the Caribbean.
The origin story begins with Ramón Fernández Cuervo, who emigrated from Asturias, Spain — a land known for its strong identity and deep traditions. The Historiador Asturias collection is a subtle yet powerful homage to those roots. It pays tribute to a founder’s journey, one that traversed oceans and generations to become a symbol of elegance and craftsmanship.
The value of a timepiece lies not only in its mechanism but also in the narrative it embodies. Asturias is not merely a design — it’s a way to preserve memory and reinterpret it with style. The collection evokes origins through refined materials and meaningful simplicity, transforming history into wearable art.
This isn’t a watch meant to impress loudly — it’s one that resonates deeply with the wearer. It reflects the quiet confidence of someone who values substance over flash, and meaning over trends. Wearing the Asturias means carrying a living legacy, shaped by culture and time.

The Meaning Behind the Asturias Line
Not all watches tell a story. Some simply count seconds. Others, like the Historiador Asturias, evoke memory, celebrate identity, and transform time into meaning. The essence of this collection lies not just in its aesthetic, but in its symbolic depth. “Asturias” is more than a name — it’s a declaration. It reflects the desire to honor the founder’s cultural and familial roots, and to preserve them in a form that speaks fluently to today’s world.
When Cuervo y Sobrinos created this collection, it wasn’t chasing trends. It was restoring continuity — reconnecting the brand with its beginning to step into the future with greater clarity. The Asturias line becomes a kind of watchmaking manifesto: a commitment to authenticity, storytelling, and heritage. Its connection to the Spanish region isn’t superficial — it’s foundational. Asturias is where the founder was shaped, and it’s that legacy that now shapes the wrist of the wearer.
This watch isn’t for those seeking ornamentation. It’s for those who want to wear values and substance, who see timepieces as personal artifacts, part of a larger narrative. The Historiador Asturias calls out to individuals who are guided not by fashion but by clarity, conviction, and cultural depth.
Even the name “Historiador” is intentional — it means “historian,” one who records, preserves, and passes down. That’s exactly what this model does. It safeguards not just craftsmanship, but identity, inviting the wearer to take part in something larger — to step into a story that bridges eras, generations, and ideals.

A Visual Expression of Balance
In the realm of high-end watchmaking, balance is an elusive art. It’s easy to overdesign — to rely on excessive flourishes that draw attention but lack substance. The Historiador Asturias stands as a masterclass in restraint. It embraces a design language that is both minimal and meaningful, where every detail is intentional and harmony takes precedence over ostentation.
Its 40 mm polished stainless steel case is crafted for elegance, with dimensions that speak softly but with confidence. It fits seamlessly on the wrist, offering just the right presence for formal settings while remaining perfectly suited for everyday wear. The dial is pure and uncluttered, with applied indexes and razor-sharp hands that subtly recall mid-century watch design, now reinterpreted through a modern lens.
The space between elements matters. What’s left unsaid — or in this case, unembellished — is just as powerful as what’s shown. The Historiador Asturias excels at this art of curated simplicity, where negative space becomes part of the aesthetic narrative. The result is a dial that breathes, that invites focus, and that allows the materials and craftsmanship to shine.
Even the date display is discreetly integrated, preserving the dial’s symmetry without compromising usability. There’s a quiet intelligence at work in this watch — a design that doesn’t chase attention, but earns admiration. It speaks the language of those who value understated luxury, who appreciate the balance between visual serenity and mechanical purpose.
This is what makes the Historiador Asturias more than a timekeeper. It’s a reflection of your discernment, your taste for clarity over clutter, your belief that elegance is about knowing when to stop.

Swiss Heart, Latin Soul
Beneath the refined exterior of the Historiador Asturias lies a mechanical soul crafted with Swiss precision — the revered CYS 5103 automatic movement. It is a caliber chosen not just for its performance, but for what it represents: the union of technical mastery and cultural storytelling. This fusion is the heartbeat of Cuervo y Sobrinos — a brand that has consistently built bridges between European horology and Latin sensibility.
At its core, this movement ensures reliable timekeeping, with smooth automatic winding and the kind of robust engineering expected from Switzerland’s finest workshops. But what sets the Asturias apart is not only what it does, but how it shows it. The transparent sapphire crystal case back reveals the movement in motion — a mesmerizing display of rotors, gears, and mechanical ballet that pays homage to the watchmaker’s art.
This transparency isn’t just about function — it’s a design choice that reflects the brand’s commitment to authenticity. Nothing is hidden. Nothing is superfluous. Every element is meant to be seen, understood, and appreciated. It’s a celebration of inner beauty, of the often-invisible elements that make a watch — and a person — truly exceptional.
The Historiador Asturias marries this precision with unmistakable warmth. It is Swiss at its core, but Latin in its soul — expressive, rooted, deeply personal. It doesn’t just measure time; it invites you to feel time, to connect with it in a more emotional and enduring way.
This is more than a watch for collectors — it’s a timepiece for individuals who seek resonance, not just accuracy. For those who value engineering and emotion equally, the Asturias is a natural choice.
