In Cuban factories, there were specially hired readers, who kept the illiterate workers entertained, familiarizing them with the masterpieces of world literature, brightening up the monotonous process of rolling cigar sheets.
Shakespeare-inspired employees are believed to have contributed to the emergence of cigars called Romeo y Julieta.
This year, the Zenith watch duo received the names of the characters of this romantic story, the presentation of the watches took place in Havana at the very end of February. The models were created in collaboration with the cigar company Habanos. Previously presented were watches dedicated to the Cohiba and Trinidad brands, now it is time for the Romeo y Julieta brand.
In a steel case with a diameter of 40.5 mm, the Romeo model has a blue dial, and the Julieta ladies watch a red dial, surrounded by a 36 mm case with 75 diamonds on the bezel.
The set limit for the production of Elite Moonphase Romeo y Julieta models of 145 copies recalls the 145th anniversary of the cigar brand. Both models are equipped with a self-winding Elite 692 movement and the most romantic complexity - moon phase indicator.
