When every reviewer seems stuck on boring Rolex, the Gentry brings us this unique brand. Your reviews show great care and attention .As a Cuban-American, thank you TGV.

I was born and raised in La Habana, and never heard of this brand while I was there. When I discovered this brand I fell in love with Cuervo y Sobrinos watches because of the style. Reminds me of the old days back in Cuba. Loved the video my friend, keep it up!!!

I heard about this brand not too long ago and being latino myself was interested in them. It's cool to see your thoughts on them!

I am from Cuba and have waited a long time for this review. Thank you TVG.

Emotional video for me, I’m from Cuba, I didn’t know about the brand and now that I know makes me feel PROUD, beautiful watch, beautiful brand, thanks for this content, this is the beautiful of the horology, the history behind of the brands, of the watches. Thank you!!!🇨🇺

hey just wanted to say I came for the watches, but stayed for the positivity. Thanks for that! Always enjoy hearing your opinion on watches and life.

I come for the intros, stay for the content.

I subscribed to this channel a couple of years ago exactly for this kind of content. Flawless.

It's nice to see a review of an unusual brand like Cuervo y Sobrinos. I've seen some of their models in the metal not far away from here, in Switzerland and I have to say that they impressed me for the quality and the particular design.

Your videography is absolutely amazing as always! I have always admired it.

As a latino from NYC I absolutely love that you’re actually properly pronouncing the name Cuervo y Sobrinos as its supposed to be pronounced. Not how English speakers would typically say it. Very nice detail right there. appreciate it as always TGV a great video. Cheers from NYC!

Another hidden gem! (Well to me at least). Thank you so much for all your wonderful reviews. Your explorer video recently was sublime. A capolavoro.

I just got into watches as of recent. I already feel like you are one of the few you-tubers I can trust. I feel like your reviews are always so genuine.

i just started getting into wrist watches, a friend came by one day last year with a watch he thought was over wound but it was a bulova accutron and just needed a battery so i took the back off found the battery size and got one for it put it in and it came to life with a very mean sounding little growl, i have had 20 dollar digital or quartz watches throughout my life for work and when the battery died i would just go get a new watch, plastic timex casio whatever even dollar store watches over the last few years. but that accutron was inscribed for someone's retirement in 1974 and when i looked at it the second hand wasn't ticking it was sweeping in a single motion and i really liked that so i put a band on it and wore it, this friend came back a few days later and asked how i got it to work since he couldn't i told him i put a battery in it and he wanted to trade me for it i was happy he wanted it back but i made him wait a year to trade that particular watch, meanwhile i got a couple more watches from him and every one he brought all it would need would be a battery or a band or pins and he had a band, now from him i have a seiko with a early 1970s movement and a painted dial it needs to be worked on and i have no idea how to fix it its an automatic with the crown snapped off and something else wrong with it. i do have 2 new watches that i bought from amazon though, a casio duro and a tommy bahama watch that i got from my local pawn shop a bulova marine star a casio poseidon and a couple of other really nice but inexpensive watches i do plan on getting a casio edifice and learning how to use it correctly

Finally some attention to Cuervo, I love their designs

My first ever mechanic watch is a cuervo y sobrinos Rosskopf from around 1910 - 1920, that I got last year in Havanna. That piece got me into watches!

The black one is gorgeous. Maybe not the best value, but that's beside the point. Desirable, tasteful and genuinely well done.

Never heard of it before, glad I have! Beautiful watch. And great review as always TGV. Take care.

I just bought a vintage Cuervo y Sobrinos on Ebay. It has a very luxurious look, probably from the 50s or so. Your channel of course is among the only ones to feature this historic brand. Of course!

So happy you reviewed CyS! I'm a huge fan and own two. A Flemeante and a Robusto. Love them. Thank you for presenting watches from such an underrated brand. 👍😁❤

I do like that they reuse the old movement. Gives them life again. Really cool

I never heard of this brand and think the 5K price puts it past my range to afford but thanks for the review.

This was special. I’m not Cuban but I hail from Miami, FL. I’m always intrigued by Cuban history and I’m so glad this company exists. I learned something new today. Thanks, TGV! I’m going to go listen to Buena Vista Social Club now.

One of my favorite watch brands ever. Another nice review and brand history TGV. Keep'em coming...

Twelve Louisiana alligators disliked this video, unless.....has anyone seen Hugo recently? Lovely watch, horrifying price. Stay well, everyone!

I love electromechanical watches from the 50's to the 70's. I collect mostly Accutrons and other tuning fork watches, but my absolute favorite is my 1967 Wittnauer Transistorized with Dynotron 9150 movement. While I am in great awe of the way an Accutron functions, it is unfortunately sort of a let down to watch because you can't really see anything move, other than the sweep second hand. The Witt, on the other hand, has a full exhibition back that lets you see the balance slam lock to lock as the transistiors pulse the electromagnet which attracts and repels the ferris material on the balance wheel. It so electronically primitive and beautifully detailed like the Acctron Spaceview. I also have a clear plastic manual wind Tissot movement with colored plastic components which is fun to see tick away, but it does not have a case or a crown, so I have to wind it with a screw driver..

Fantastic video I've seen some of your reviews, suggestions and opinions and I truly enjoy your show. This video mostly caught my eye because recently I have become infatuated with this brand. The first reason is because I'm of Cuban decent, born and raised as a native New Yorker. The Cuervo y Sobrinos Watches are a unique luxury brand and since this was my true first luxury watch purchase I wanted it to be a conversation piece. I agree with you that for the Price they need to go "Above and Beyond" on the details, which I concur with you they lack in certain models. I currently own a Prominente Solo tempo and a Pirata Cronografo with bronze case, both with excellent characteristics and of course, unique. Both of these Models are extraordinary, but some of there other models needs some work on the detail side. The history on the brand is very alluring I hope the new Management Massimo Rossi since 2018 takes the Company to a better recognition of their brand. Other than that I hope your advice is heeded as a schooled horologist, GREAT REVIEW...

I have seen other CYS watches for sale, but didn't know much about CYS as a brand. But wow those two watches are beautiful and I love the fact that CYS used old parts in a new watch that is really cool. I wish I could afford it. I love brands like CYS because they are underdogs and don't get much love outside of the CYS collector community. I'm going to be looking into CYS for sure. Great video as always TGV!!

Catching up on these. Excellent review Tristano. I own 2 CyS watches - the Historiador Flameante (silver dial version) and the Historiador 1519 (blue dial version). Love them both. Ciao, John

Like many others, I lived in Cuba for nearly 32 years and only learned of this brand after I moved abroad. It is amazing how nobody over there talks about it, and yet you ask anybody over 60, and they all know it. My late grandfather even remembered the prices at the CYS store when I asked him. Great brand, great history. Definitely on my short list.

Definitely one of your best videos, TGV!!! I’ve been to Cuba 3 times and the video captures it’s mood and that of the watch perfectly! Amazing!

Nice, en mis suenos estoy en una playa gozando ron de cuba oyendo a las ollas y llevando un reloj Landeron mientras omitar el concepto de tiempo de mi paradigma mental

Probably the most underrated watch in the market,... and the most beautiful.

Absolutely beautiful watches! I once owned a vintage Chronographe Suisse watch with a Landeron chronograph movement. I had to sell it back for a cheaper price because it wasn't in the best condition. If I knew about this brand before I made that purchase, I wouldn't have lost money. Well! You live and you learn. It's an inevitable part of this watch hobby!

Just bought the Lonsdale they made 82 in three different colours. They were made for cigar smokers and absolutely love it.

What makes this watch more special.. than the other brands that you mentioned in the same price range is that, only a hundred of these has been made, can you imagine the value you of this watch overtime, priceless.

I own one CyS, Robusto-Churchill edition. I am big Churchill fan, and this was actually my first watch in that price range. I had to have it. Love it.

Incredible how much knowledge and culture this wonderful hobby can provide. Definetly ,horology is much more than designs, movements and calibers. Is about history, sociology,economy and sometimes art. Great video,TGV. Thanks for sharing.

Dude you do an incredible production job! Your vids rival the pros keep up the great work!!

Excellent review! I especially like the idea of imagining the perfect environment in which to best appreciate a watch. Please explore this topic further in future videos.

I have heard of this brand before and think they look amazing. I Did not know of their history (I do now!) Many thanks for a great presentation. I am a keen photographer and the macro photography you present is very good. This brand is much better and more exclusive than Rolex at the fraction of the price. The fit and finish on Rolex is not always up to scratch, and with all of the hype are way overpriced. The attention to detail on Cuervo Y Sobrinos ( translates to Cuervo and Nephews) is stunning. Once again many thanks.

Thank you so much for doing this review. I love the history and style cues that you talked about. I really appreciate that you are hands on with the watch. As someone who is an enthusiast and a collector I can't understand how anyone could possibly review a watch without handling it in person. Great job.

The intro alone made me like this video!

Beautiful, but I'm picking up an El Primero in '21...got to build out my base before I go exotic. On another note, you are rocking out fantastic videos. I really love your historical references and education. This is one of my favorite aspects of the hobby.

Love the work you do, TGV. I've just bought my first seiko (snkl23) because of you! Can't wait to for it to be delivered.... now I just need to choose between a leather or NATO strap.

Love your channel, and I very much appreciate your shout out to your ancestor and the valor award. These are indeed beautiful watches. Thanks!!

Awesome and Beautiful Chronographs!

This watch is a nice variation on a theme from the usual assortment of chronographs; I like the use of Spanish on the dail. These are gorgeous watches. Your videography is as usual superb and compliments these watches wonderfully; a good integration of presentation with these timepieces.

Can't even imagine how many hours you always put into your intros. It's just crazy how much more time you probably have to invest for one video compared to other KZfaqrs.

This review was a complete joy to watch! on several levels and for several reasons...

Your grandfathers story on your Instagram was incredible my family has fallen in ww2 and Purple Hearts from the battle of the bulge. Bless !

Very interesting video, I haven't heard of these before, I also hadn't heard of the Landeron 248 until a couple of weeks ago when I bought a vintage Silvana which has this movement in it, from a local antiques dealer, he took the back off for me, it is in very clean condition, so it was very interesting to see you talking about this movement.

I was amazed at your cinematography skills and not to mention your presentation. Great video with music and Cuban themes. Loved the video as much as the watches, Agree with your point of view with price comparisons with top end brands. For some these are unique watches with a grand history and your presentation does them some justice in highlighting their Cuban history.

buen video señor tristano no sabia mucho sobre cuervo y sobrinos antes de ver este video Gracias jaja ✊

How long, how long I wait for this moment, TGV this are the watches of my country, Cuba, I'm living out for quite sometime but I still keep the Cuervo&Sobrinos of my grandfather, 1943, from the same place Hemingway get it's own, great video as always

Fantastic review always from the Gentry. I have learned so much from all the knowledge you have shared with us on how to go about in the arts of watch collecting. The importance of the history and reputation for every watch brand is so absolutely amazing as you always remind us that is just not watch collecting but the appreciation and respect for the craftsmanship and attention to every detail of the watch....

I love Spain and Hispanic things in general and always wondered of any glorious watches produced by these fine people. These aren't necessarily my type, looking like watches I'd scratch up sooner than later, but it's nice to look at watches from other than the usual suspects. Russian watch video anytime soon??

Very handsome timepieces! And beautiful movements... exquisite and cool. Great narrative and nice editing as usual ☺️

Another brilliant review. How perfect that the watch should feature a Louisiana alligator strap with the Caribbean connections of the Crescent City! And, TGV, your pronunciation of my state’s name was delivered with perfect native inflection: rare even for an American. Bravo!

Little expensive for my budget, but I can see my self some day buying one,what great piece, lots of high-quality and history, love it 👍👍Thank you for reviewing this magnificent piece....

Great review. Most informative as always. I understand the CYS lugs are, in fact, symbolic of 'bull's horns'. Thank you.

Best Urban Gentry intro by far!

Great video! I still have my great grandfathers Cuervo Y sobrinos pocket watch that dates back to the 1940s. Very interesting watch!

I can't wait for the Seiko Porcelain review from you. That Porcelain dial is outstanding.

Again a great Intro! Great review! Love your channel!

They put on the dial that they are the only distributor of the brand, although this distinguish from other brands it spoils the dial in my opinion.This brand doesn't add nothing 'special or exclusive' to justify the price (purely my opinion, of course) Great review TGV

I enjoy your reviews, especially when you bring new material and info to the table like this brand which I’ve ever heard of. Keep up the good work TGV

Reminds me of the Tissot Janeiro.

Kudos on another great intro. Probably the best in the business. Well Done.

Never heard about this brand. I appreciate informative an visually pleasing presentation of it. Intro and musical background were also enjoyable. Thanks Tristano

Thank you TGV as ALWAYS for educating me on a brand that I was not familiar with. =

Im Mexican and you have a very good pronunciation for Cuervo y Sobrinos. Loved the review, i hope you could do the Historiador Flameante soon. Thanks for the video.

What a beautiful 🤩 intro again! I’m watching nearly all your videos & they’re great with quality timepieces. Thank you 😊

Absolutely most inspiring intros on youtube

Thank you for introducing me to these, the history of is great and I have to agree that the white dial is a stunner. Just wanted to thank you again for such a well researched and put together video. Your content is a winner

...love the intros...they are real masterpieces!!!

Thanks for brightening the lockdown for us mate! We really appreciate all your videos!! :)

Fantastic review as always TGV. I love this brand. I love the history and romance of the design. I agree these are expensive but you can find some really nice CYS for less than $2000. Yes. I own one and adore it. John

Definitely would go for the white dial myself.

Beautiful watch and love the intro TGV. Felt like I went on a quick holiday. Just the way you described the setting watch, jacket the music and a ciqar😊👍🤗

Hello. I am a new member to your channel and I am starting appreciate the art, craftsmanship and history that goes into watches. Can you do a video on aviation themed watches. Where the face has some aviation design to it. Thank you

Nice touch on your NATO strap TGV really like that nod to your ancestor

I came across this watch and the promotional video with early Cuba footage almost bought me to tears. The watches are absolutely stunning and I was hoping you'd make a video giving us your opinion. These are my grail watches.

Hi TGV, I'm one of ur biggest fans, I'd like to suggest if u could integrate like a sticky written note on each watch appears on ur video for a couple of seconds, teaching us how much it costs and its specs,it might cost u a little bit effort, but i do believe for such a great watch collector like u , that would be a real useful and will even advance ur videos to a whole new advanced level , i hope u have the time to read my comment... always and forever onwards and upwards... keep going, Buddy....creat ur legacy

What beautiful watches! I’ve always been interested in that brand, glad to see this review!

Sí, en realidad es una casa conocida, reconocida y...cara!!! Y sí, otro excelente video! Regards.

Just visited the CyS website - every watch is gorgeous! They're on my next to-buy list.

Excellent pronunciation! Great video. Thank you.

Hello TGV, a very interesting video about a not so well known brand with beautiful watches. By the way, you changed my plans for dinner today, from Italian to Caribbean. 😉 kind regards René

Ah yes, running the Explorer. Bravo. Never heard of the CYS. very sharp.

Hello Tristano, let me say that your channel is very interesting and that your opening theme are are always little pieces of art.

Just came across this watch brand recently as well and they look incredible! Very cool pieces and interesting brand!

Dear TGV, firstly let me thank you for another great video! Talking about vintage Chronographs, I wondered if you ever considered reviewing a Poljot Strela Chronograph? I personally own one and I am constantly amazed by it. So much history, such a unique styling and all of that at a surprisingy affordable price. These watches are truly special :)

Love the Buena Vista Social Club mention!

As I watch the football game tonight, i keep hitting mute to watch your video. TGV the best content and the editing. I adore your comment of sitting in a casino smoking a cigar, i would have an old fashion or a sazarach. I will now add another watch to my watch list.

Well done as usual! I've been drooling over these now for a while

Que bien pronuncias Cuervo y Sobrinos sin ningun acento increible pero cierto.

Gorgeous pieces.

What a great video. I'd personally never heard of this brand. Very nice indeed. Love the black dial, but then again with its Art Deco design I of course was always going to love it. Littlemited editions and a fairly unknown brand attracts me, but ultimately have to say given the alternatives out there I do agree a bit on the pricey side. But as said very nice. Thank you for introducing me to this brand sir 🙏.

That picture of Fidel at 4:40 has Liam Neeson vibes
