Hemingway, a famous American writer, once said: "The Cuban rum has drunk my body and soul."

When it comes to Cuba, we immediately think of Cuba's rum, Cuba's coffee and Cuban cigars, as it is one of Cuba's three well-known products. Rum seems to be born with a trace of the sea feeling. If you want to find a wine can represent the mystery and passion of South America and China and the United States, it must be rum. Cigars are also a product Cubans are proud of because cigars are the best in the world in Cuba or, more specifically, in Havana, Cuba, and even Castro uses cigars as gifts to foreigners . Can be said that rum and cigar is no longer a mere consumer goods, but a symbol of Cuban culture.

Although Cuba's rum has a long history of prestige, the birthplace of rum is not in Cuba, but in the beautiful Caribbean island nation of Barbados. Is it possible for a watch to have a drop of Barbados rum? The answer is: Maybe.

Speake Marin, the Swiss independent watchmaker, introduced a watch this year called the Rum Watch, a perfect fusion of the Swiss tradition of precision and the adventures of the Caribbean. The watch, the world's first watch filled with rum, uses not the usual rum, but the world's oldest rum - the 1780 Harwood Rum.

It is certainly not a coincidence that a drop of 1756 Harwood rum is placed at the dial of the dial, but rather a follow-up to ancient marine traditions. It was only at this point that the Royal Navy could try a little rum, and this moment was therefore known as the "refreshing moment" - every seafarer was allowed to drink one-eighth of the statutory pint, which was about 70ml. The bottom cover is carved "Stand fast the Holy Ghost" is a slogan, is to call seafarers together to share rum. So, the person in charge of rum is called the Holy Ghost.

The watch's history began in 2011, when Mark Lascelles (Brothers of Earl Harwood) and several attendants at Harwood House went to the cellar of Harwood House. They are to inventory the cellar. Among the moldy old bottles, they discovered the real baby - the 1780 rum, which was stored there in the early 19th century when Barbados was a British colony. This bottle of rum was forgotten in the years of long, quietly waiting, precipitation.

Shortly after it was discovered, the bottle of 1780 Harwood Rum was transferred to Wealth Solutions' collection. Wealth Solution specializes in rare alcoholic beverages, artwork and watches. With the collaboration of Wealth Solution and Swiss watchmaker Speake-Marin, this exquisite watch comes out with an enduring structure and aesthetics. This watch power reserve of 50 hours, there are two models of titanium alloy and 18k red gold Cadillac Case - this is the characteristics of Si Pik Man Jen. Crown set with a gem, aquamarine with titanium watch, red tourmaline with 18K gold watch. The watch has only one pointer to indicate the time, looks like a traditional compass, case and bottom cover were hand-carved "One out of 100" and "Stand fast the holy ghost" words.

Rum, a spirits of wine born in the tropical colonies containing sugar cane, is a collection of colonial legends that connect with pirates, wars, and armies from the time of its appearance. This also created a rum innate wild full of domineering publicity spirit. Speake Marin takes a drop of rum placed on the dial, the culture of rum in the watch, reflecting the spirit of a longer-lasting. Believe that this rum watch will be Speake-Marin's best gift to those who love both mechanical watches and cherished rum.

Speaking in front of the great American writer Hemingway, in fact, about one-third of his life spent in Cuba, or it can be said that the Cuban style of boiling and free Cuba kept him. Along with Hemingway writing all day except Cuban tradition of cigars and rums, of course, there is a watch. This one Hemingway's beloved watch was the Cuervo y Sobrinos watch that was born in Havana, Cuba.

Cuervo y Sobrinos is an ancient luxury brand in South America, developed in Switzerland, with a long history of 130 years. Was born in Cuba known as the "Pearl of the Caribbean" in Havana, once the most prosperous city in Latin America, was once renowned for luxury, top art world-wide. The company is headquartered in Kapalua, near Lugano, Switzerland - a Swiss town with a strong watchmaking culture.

Every one of the Kurdish watches is housed in a cigar box, with the CUERVO Y SOBRINOS wristwatch present when the cigar box is opened. Cigar color yellow dial, light brown strap, full of carrying a retro style, as if we brought back to Latin America, those beautiful golden years. Its design taste to show a strong Latin style, with each series of names are derived from the famous Cuban cigars, so that each CUERVO Y SOBRINOS watches full of the charming atmosphere of late Havana at the end of the nineteenth century.

Finally, I would like to introduce to you a Cuban song, which was born in the 19th century and was written by a Spanish folk composer Sebastien Yradier while living in Cuba. The song is beautiful and melodic, passionate Unrestrained, is the same passionate Cuban people love a folk song. Listening to the song quietly while we're brandy rum, smoking a cigar, may have a different experience of Hemingway's feelings.

"pigeon"

When I left the lovely hometown of Havana

You can not think how sad I am

Floating in the sky with bright golden pink clouds

My dear girl is by my side

Dear I will go with you to voyage

Like a pigeon flying freely at sea

Ride the wind with your sailboat at sea

You love me, like a little pigeon

Dear little pigeon

Please come to me

We fly over the blue ocean

Go far

When I returned to the lovely hometown of Havana

It's you singing songs waiting for me on the bank
