CVSTOS & CAVALIER GENÈVE Blending Haute Horlogerie with artisanal cigar craft

Born in Geneva. Crafted for connoisseurs

Geneva-born collaboration where Haute Horlogerie meets artisanal cigar craftsmanship in a refined celebration of time and tradition.

A meeting of two crafts

Some collaborations feel obvious the moment you hear about them. In a celebration of time, craftsmanship, and the rituals that define the finest art of living, Cvstos has partnered with Cavalier Genève, the Geneva-born brand known for its distinctive artisanal cigars.

Two crafts. One philosophy

While their crafts differ, the philosophy behind them is strikingly similar. Both brands were founded in Geneva and share a deep commitment to craftsmanship, precision, and the pursuit of excellence. The result is a meeting of two worlds – fine watchmaking and master cigar making – where mechanical artistry and traditional cigar craftsmanship intersect.

When Haute Horlogerie meets the art of living

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

Founders with a shared vision

For Sassoun Sirmakes, Founder and CEO of Cvstos, and Sébastien Decoppet, Founder and CEO of Cavalier Genève, the partnership represents a natural step for both brands. United by an entrepreneurial vision and a shared commitment 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 in tribute to Cavalier Genève’s distinctive identity, the watch reflects the meeting of two crafts shaped by precision and passion.

The Cavalier Genève emblem appears on the dial, creating a visual link between the worlds of Haute Horlogerie and artisanal cigar craftsmanship. A further tribute to Cavalier Genève’s signature detail, the 24-carat gold diamond on the cigar wrapper is echoed by the screws surrounding the bezel. Powering the watch is the CVS410, a self-winding mechanical caliber distinguished by an exclusive tobacco-brown coating.

The watch is fitted with two distinctive straps, one in light brown rubber and the other in Havana brown alligator leather.

The Cvstos & Cavalier Genève edition will be produced in a strictly limited run of 30 watches, each paired with a bespoke humidor and a set of 30 specially crafted cigars celebrating Cavalier Genève’s 10th anniversary.

The cigars feature a beautifully balanced blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos, carefully selected and meticulously hand-rolled in Honduras by skilled artisans in respect of the tradition, an elegant expression of the shared savoir-faire that defines both Maisons.

A collector’s tribute to time and craft

Limited to just 30 sets, the Cvstos & Cavalier Genève collaboration brings together two crafts built on patience, precision, and tradition. By pairing a mechanical timepiece with the ritual of a finely crafted cigar, the project highlights a shared philosophy: That some of life’s most rewarding moments are those meant to be fully appreciated.
