Born in Geneva. Crafted for Connoisseurs.

A Geneva-born collaboration where Haute Horlogerie meets artisanal cigar craftsmanship, celebrating time, tradition, and the rituals that define the finest art of living.

A Meeting of Two Crafts

Some collaborations feel natural the moment they are conceived. In a tribute to time, craftsmanship, and refined lifestyle rituals, Cvstos has partnered with Cavalier Genève, the Geneva-based brand renowned for its distinctive artisanal cigars.

Two Crafts. One Philosophy.

Though their disciplines differ, the philosophy behind them is remarkably aligned. Both brands were founded in Geneva and share an unwavering commitment to precision, craftsmanship, and the pursuit of excellence. The result is a meeting of two worlds — fine watchmaking and master cigar craftsmanship — where mechanical artistry and traditional savoir-faire converge.

When Haute Horlogerie Meets the Art of Living

The collaboration materializes through a limited-edition timepiece and cigar set, designed for collectors who appreciate life's most refined pleasures. There is a natural rhythm between the two crafts: the precision of a mechanical watch and the ritual of enjoying a finely crafted cigar.

Founders with a Shared Vision

For Sassoun Sirmakes, Founder of Cvstos, and Sébastien Decoppet, Founder of Cavalier Genève, the partnership represents a natural evolution for both brands.

United by an entrepreneurial spirit and a dedication to excellence, the two founders have built distinctive Maisons defined by craftsmanship, creativity, and authenticity.

Precision in Time. Perfection in Craft.

At the heart of the collaboration is the Jetliner PS, one of Cvstos' signature timepieces.

Crafted in steel and accented with 5N red gold components, the watch pays tribute to the identity of Cavalier Genève. The Cavalier Genève emblem appears on the dial, forming a visual link between the worlds of Haute Horlogerie and artisanal cigar craftsmanship.

A further tribute references the brand's signature detail — the 24-carat gold diamond placed on the cigar wrapper — echoed in the screws surrounding the bezel. Powering the watch is the CVS410 self-winding mechanical calibre, distinguished by an exclusive tobacco-brown coating. The timepiece is delivered with a Light brown rubber or a Havana brown alligator leather

A Collector's Set

The Cvstos × Cavalier Genève edition will be produced in a strictly limited series of 30 watches.

Each watch is paired with:

• a bespoke humidor

• 30 specially crafted cigars created to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Cavalier Genève

The cigars feature a full Honduran blend, hand-rolled using traditional Cuban craftsmanship - a fitting tribute to the shared savoir-faire of both Maisons.

A Collector's Tribute to Time and Craft

Limited to just 30 sets worldwide, the collaboration between Cvstos and Cavalier Genève unites two crafts built on patience, precision, and tradition. By pairing a mechanical timepiece with the ritual of a finely crafted cigar, the project celebrates a simple philosophy: Some of life's most rewarding moments are those meant to be fully savoured.
