Cuervo Y Sobrinos: Back to the Old School with the Historiador
Posted by The Breitling Source under New Watch Models[3] Comments
Recently, I find myself more and more drawn to the allure of vintage pieces, but with the reliability of modern movements. That began with my purchase of the Glashutte Original Sixties, and several other watches since including a couple Eternas. Recently I saw the Cuervo Y Sobrinos Historiador, and fell in love again. Too bad it is a brand that is hard to get good discounts on around here, due to its low circulation.
This one is priced fairly affordably at $2900 in stainless steel and $9995 in Rose Gold. That should put its street price well within grasp, possibly even in Rose Gold! This one is a healthy 40mm, which with the fancy long lugs should wear much larger. Unfortunately the movement is a rather stock ETA 2895, with CYS engraved rotor.
Nevertheless, I still very much like the Cuervo Y Sobrinos Historiador!

I recently bought a CyS Historiador Semenal, and absolutely love it. CyS has some wonderful designs that stand out from the crowd, but, like you say, distribution is very limited and it’s hard to find a deal (I was told by the AD I bought from that they only produce 3,500 watches a year). I doubt if I’ll ever see my Historiador on someone else’s wrist.

Congrats on the new acquisition. Sometimes its nice to have a timepiece that you know no one else will be wearing.
