The modern day Swiss brand is almost unrelated to the original Cuban Jewelry business which had to shut because of the Revolution.

This piece is an absolute charmer :D

I picked up on that simply from looking at the range now. But those originals have great charm - as you say. One of yours on the bay now, but needs work.... I really like it.

Indeed but the new brand does have its own flair too. Fun aesthetic. Prices not as fun. :wallbash:

There are also quite a few double branded dials because they imported Swiss watches into Cuba. Longines, Baume & Mercier, Breitling, Bulova watches with Cuervo y Sobrinos printed on the dial. Poorer nephew to the Rolex Tiffany dials ;)
