Founded in 1882 in Havana, Cuervo y Sobrinos attracted some of the most influential personalities of the 1900's as customers, including Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill Ernest Hemingway, Clark Gable, Eleonora Dusel, Nat King Cole, and many others. The Cuervo y Sobrinos prestige was of the most respected of the 1920s period. Luxury watch manufacturers Rolex and Patek Philippe cooperated with Cuervo y Sobrinos agents by inscribing the Sobrinos brand name onto Rolex/Patek Phillipe wristwatches sold at the luxury Sobrinos watch and fine jewellery Boutiques.
