Cuervo Y Sobrinos

[mpa90]

Been away from this forum but I'm happy to be back!

Does anyone know if they have rep'd Cuervo Y Sobrinos watches yet? I saw one at Tourneau today that was really cool. I think it was a Torpedo Pulso something or other with a really thick gauge look to it. If not, anyone know if they rep a similar gauge style watch like Manometro?

Thanks in advance!

I don't think anybody will rep a Cuervo y Sobrinos because it's not a brand, it's just the name of the importer of some brands to Cuba many years ago; he just used to put the name of the shop on the watches.....

I believe they now make watches as I've been seeing them in stores for awhile now. Any ideas on similar "gauge" cased watches?

Cuervo Y Sobrinos is WAY more than a company that puts their name on someone elses watches. At the turn of the 20th century they were considered on par with the likes of Tiffanys and Cartier as a jewelry designer and manufacturer. The watches on which their name appears from that time were manufactured by companies that wanted to have the Curevo name on their watches, they considered it a bonus. Read
this http://www2.cuervoysobrinos.com/en/cuervo-y-sobrinos/history/more.html if you want to know more about the company. Unfortunately, they are such a small company that I doubt anyone will rep them. I have 2 of them and they are really nice, well made watches.
