CUERVO Y SOBRINOS - Torpedo Pulsometro


CUERVO Y SOBRINOS - Torpedo Pulsometero Chronograph 

Imagine Cuba, pearl of the Caribbean, in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The first democratic constitution had come into force. The country had recently gained international recognition as a member of the United Nations. President Batista came and went and came again, helped by the United States which had an iron grip on the island's mining, agriculture and public services.

Americans fleeing Prohibition had already flocked to the island at the turn of the century. Fifty years later they would once again be seduced by Havana, now a hub of corruption, gambling and trafficking of every possible kind.

Artists, intellectuals, scientists and movie stars were also lured by this underground atmosphere.


Cuban music, with undertones of American jazz, had taken over the airwaves. Meanwhile, fans turned out in droves at the Tropicana nightclub in Havana, where Guillermo Barreto worked his magic alongside the likes of Nat King Cole and Tommy Dorsey.


The Torpedo line takes its name from the classic Havana cigars, one of the most well-known due to its discreet and balanced line.
The elegant form of the Torpedo, combined with high technological performance, makes this watch an emblem of the Cuervo y Sobrinos collection. The case stands out given its round, bored and bevelled shape with its characteristics horn, all of which rendering it a model with a charisma all its own, very much appreciated by those loving classical models having a strong identity.
The model is expressed in various versions, steel and gold, with diamonds and a special range dedicated to the historical Tour de Espana automobile races.
