Cuervo y Sobrinos recently concluded a series of events in Europe, celebrating the launch of the Caribe Pipin watch. Held in collaboration with few official retailers, these exclusive events took place in Italy and Spain, offering a unique platform for watch enthusiasts and collectors to experience this exceptional timepiecWhen it comes to watchmaking with character, the name Prominente stands tall. This Cuervo y Sobrinos collection takes its name from one of the most prestigious Cuban cigar formats: the “Prominente” vitola — known for its generous size, intense aroma, and refined complexity. But beyond the cigar reference lies a deeper story: just like the act of slowly enjoying a fine cigar, the Prominente Icónico is about experiencing time, not just measuring it.
With this line, Cuervo y Sobrinos reinterprets the notion of prominence through bold yet harmonious design, where every element is crafted to express timeless elegance. The rectangular case is sculptural and expressive, inspired by Art Deco aesthetics, while refined materials and Swiss craftsmanship reinforce its enduring value.
This is more than a watch: it’s a visual statement for those who know what they want — those who appreciate substance as much as style. The Prominente Icónico is for those who stand out with confidence, not noise. In the paragraphs ahead, we’ll explore seven defining aspects of this iconic line — from Cuban heritage to artisan detail — that make it not just a watch, but a symbol of identity and sophistication.Buy the Prominente Icónico online now or find your nearest Cuervo y Sobrinos boutique and discover a design that speaks volumes in silence.
The Meaning Behind the Name “Prominente”
Names matter — and at Cuervo y Sobrinos, every collection name carries weight. “Prominente” refers to one of the largest Cuban cigar vitolas, cherished by connoisseurs for its elegant spice, full-bodied flavor, and memorable presence. It’s not just a name; it’s a cultural signature, and Cuervo y Sobrinos has masterfully translated this essence into horology.
Just like a Prominente cigar is reserved for those who appreciate nuance, a Prominente watch is for those who understand design, heritage, and emotion. There is a poetic connection between slow smoking and fine watchmaking — both demand attention, craft, and a deep appreciation for time.
The Prominente Icónico captures this spirit with bold proportions, distinctive lines, and confident elegance. It doesn’t shout for attention; it commands respect through details and personality. It’s a watch that feels like a signature — a declaration of style that speaks of identity, culture, and taste.
For Cuervo y Sobrinos, the Prominente isn’t just a tribute — it’s a bridge between worlds: Cuban soul and Swiss precision, masculine strength and refined elegance. A watch that belongs on the wrist of those who don’t chase trends, but carry tradition forward with flair.

Design That Stands Out — Bold, Iconic, Refined
What immediately captures the eye with the Prominente Icónico is its bold rectangular case, a design that nods to the elegance of the 1930s and 40s, yet feels perfectly at home today. This isn’t just a revival — it’s a reinterpretation with purpose, where each curve and angle serves to express strength, balance, and visual harmony.
The case is generously proportioned but never overwhelming, fitting the wrist with presence rather than weight. Every edge is softened just enough to reflect light with sophistication, while the dial is a world of depth: sunray finishes, enamel tones, sharp indices, and slender hands give it structure and style. The attention to proportion and contrast is clear — this is not just a timepiece, it’s a study in refined geometry.
Whether you choose a deep blue dial for formal elegance or a warm-toned variant for vintage allure, the Prominente adapts with versatility. It speaks to a design philosophy where every line has a voice, every surface a message. Even the engraved caseback adds a narrative layer — reminding you that this watch isn’t mass-produced, but carefully brought to life.
There’s an understated power in the Prominente: it isn’t about decoration, but definition. It frames your wrist the way a signature frames a document — personal, confident, unmistakable.

A Tribute to Cuban Culture
The Prominente Icónico is more than a watch — it’s an expression of Cuban identity, distilled into form and function. Every element pays tribute to the vibrant soul of La Habana, where Cuervo y Sobrinos was born in 1882. The collection doesn’t just hint at heritage — it lives and breathes it.
Wearing a Prominente means carrying a piece of Cuba’s cultural richness: its music, its poetry, its passion. The bold silhouette reflects the grandeur of colonial architecture; the warmth of the dial tones recalls a sunset on the Malecón; and the luxurious materials mirror the island’s innate elegance. This is Cuba reimagined — authentic, refined, deeply alive.
Each Prominente is a fusion of Swiss watchmaking precision and Cuban creative spirit, making it not only a collector’s piece, but a cultural object. It doesn’t follow the rules of minimalism or overdesign — it follows its own rhythm, just like the island it represents.
This connection to Cuba is more than branding — it’s the soul of the collection. It appeals to those who want their watch to carry meaning, to reflect values, stories, and personality. If you believe that time is best measured through experiences, not minutes, the Prominente is your perfect match.

The Power of Detail: Where Craft Meets Purpose
In the Prominente Icónico, every single component is carefully curated — a testament to true craftsmanship and refined vision. Beneath its visual clarity lies a world of complexity, where form and function blend with elegance. This is where Cuervo y Sobrinos shines: in the mastery of detail.
The slightly domed sapphire crystal adds both protection and dimension, offering a subtle lens that plays with light throughout the day. The case, finished by hand, alternates polished and satin textures that enhance depth and emphasize architectural precision. Each dial is a study in finesse, available in finishes that range from matte sophistication to brilliant luster.
But detail is not confined to appearance. It extends to comfort, durability, and balance. The genuine leather straps, soft yet resilient, are hand-stitched and color-matched to perfection. The lugs are seamlessly integrated, ensuring that the watch fits snugly and elegantly — a crucial element for everyday wear.
Even the caseback tells a story. Engraved with Cuervo y Sobrinos’ heritage, it serves as a reminder of the brand’s unique duality: Latin soul, Swiss technique. It’s these nuances that turn a timepiece into an heirloom — a personal treasure passed through generations.
In a world of mass production, the Prominente Icónico offers something deeply rare: time made tangible, beautiful, and enduring through detail.

When Style Meets Function
While the Prominente Icónico dazzles with its aesthetic appeal, it’s built for real life. This isn’t just a design object — it’s a tool of precision and reliability, engineered for those who want their style to be both expressive and practical.
At its heart lies a Swiss quartz movement, chosen for its accuracy and ease of maintenance. It offers the wearer confidence and simplicity — no need to wind, no need to reset. Just strap it on, and it performs with quiet excellence, day after day.
The large rectangular case isn’t just for looks: its generous layout enhances legibility, while the dial remains perfectly balanced thanks to meticulous design work. Bold indices, clean minute tracks, and crisp hands ensure that time is always easy to read, even at a glance.
Whether worn with a suit or with casual summer attire, the Prominente adapts effortlessly. It’s a chameleon of sophistication, shifting between occasions with grace. And because its movement is so dependable, it becomes the kind of watch you trust to travel with you — across meetings, events, and borders.

A Watch for Those Who Lead, Not Follow
The Prominente Icónico is not designed to appeal to everyone — and that’s precisely its strength. It’s made for those with strong personal style, clear vision, and the confidence to express both. In a world overflowing with generic timepieces, this watch stands for individuality.
It attracts connoisseurs of design, lovers of vintage charm, and professionals who want their wristwear to say something real — something that aligns with who they are. It is a companion for those who see time as a narrative, not just a number. A Prominente wearer doesn’t need validation: their taste speaks through silence.
This isn’t a gendered watch. Nor is it locked into one type of lifestyle. Its timeless silhouette, bold proportions, and tailored finishes allow it to shift effortlessly from boardroom to terrace, from gala to gallery. It belongs to those who understand that style is not a trend — it’s a language.
With every glance at the dial, you’ll remember why you chose it. Not because it was the most hyped or flashy, but because it felt like you. That emotional connection — rare in the world of accessories — is what transforms the Prominente from an object to a symbol.
Find your own Prominente Icónico online or visit a boutique to let the watch choose you. For those who don’t follow — they lead.
A Signature of Timeless Style
Some watches mark time. The Prominente Icónico marks identity. It’s a watch made not just to impress today, but to endure — in meaning, in beauty, and in relevance. It doesn’t follow fashion cycles. It transcends them.
With its vintage inspiration, architectural case, and unmistakable proportions, this timepiece is built to remain iconic across decades. Its value doesn’t fade — it deepens. As it collects moments with its wearer, it gains stories, memories, significance.
Even its materials are chosen for permanence. Sapphire crystal, high-grade steel, precision Swiss components — everything is made to last. But what truly endures is its presence. That sense of individuality it brings to your look. The way it expresses not just your aesthetic, but your point of view.
Over time, your Prominente becomes part of your legacy. A signature not just of style, but of character. Of a way of living that’s not rushed, not loud, but meaningful and intentional.
