In the years that followed, he enlisted the help of his nephews to work at his prospering shop - hence the eventual company name Cuervo y Sobrinos, or Cuervo \u0026amp; Nephews. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Country.\u003c\/strong\u003e Even after the passing of the titular Cuervo, his nephews continued to ensure the success of the company, eventually moving the store to the bustling heart of Havana’s shopping district. And as Cuba flourished, so did the brand. Prior to the 1960s, Havana was viewed as the capital of the Caribbean - as its vibrant nightlife, casinos, and adoption of Western culture saw it become a playground for American tourists. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Change.\u003c\/strong\u003e But the 1960s brought about a sudden change. Under Fidel Castro, most reasonably-sized private businesses were nationalised and controlled by the Government. Cuervo y Sobrinos had become the central player in Cuban horology - not only as a watchmaker, but also as the country’s largest importer of Swiss watches - so in 1965 standard operations ceased and Cuervo y Sobrinos was required to make watches for the Cuban military instead. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe End.\u003c\/strong\u003e Record-keeping wasn’t exactly a priority during the widespread nationalisation, so the exact year isn’t known, but in the decades that followed Cuervo y Sobrinos slowly ceased to exist - both as a family-owned entity, and as a general name. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Revival. \u003c\/strong\u003eFortunately, the company was revived in the late ‘90s. Operating out of Switzerland, it unveiled its new collection at Baselworld in 2002. By 2005 it was making its own chronograph movements in-house, and in 2009 Cuervo y Sobrinos opened a boutique and museum in Havana. Don’t you just love it when a story comes full circle?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Movement.\u003c\/strong\u003e The watch on offer today is perhaps just as intriguing as its company’s origin story. Looking at the extended tonneau-shaped case, and the position of the two sets of hands, you might have already guessed there isn’t an ordinary dual time movement inside the Prominente Doble Tiempo. Flip it over and its secret is revealed: two separate movements!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Layout.\u003c\/strong\u003e Each movement is an in-house CYS 5024 calibre, which is a modified version of the ETA 2671. Because each movement is totally separate, each dial is controlled by its own crown - allowing you to set the exact minutes and hours independently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_1qeIAgB0cPwnLhDF9XSiJM\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e In great condition overall.
