**An Extraordinary Timepiece**
CVSTOS was founded in 2005 by CEO Sassoun Sirmakes and Chief Designer Antonio Terranova. The brand name, derived from Latin, means "guardian," reflecting the company’s commitment to excellence and innovation in horology. As a pioneer in advanced watchmaking, CVSTOS focuses on developing groundbreaking technologies that push the boundaries of traditional craftsmanship.
Sassoun Sirmakes, originally from Armenia, was born in Geneva in 1983. He comes from a family deeply rooted in the world of haute horlogerie—his father, Vartan Sirmakes, is a partner and CEO of the FRANCK MULLER Watchland Group. Growing up surrounded by luxury timepieces, Sassoun developed a deep appreciation for the art of watchmaking from an early age. This passion led him to dream of creating his own brand, one that would stand out with its unique design and technical prowess.
Antonio Terranova, born in 1967 in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland—the heart of Swiss watchmaking—has spent decades shaping the industry. With extensive experience in high-end watch design, he has worked with several prestigious brands before meeting Sassoun Sirmakes. Together, they shared a vision inspired by aerospace and automotive engineering, and in 2005, they launched CVSTOS, a brand that blends avant-garde aesthetics with cutting-edge technology.
In March 2013, during a meeting in Paris, Sassoun Sirmakes introduced Gérard Depardieu, a legendary French actor, to the "Russian Empire Double-Headed Eagle" model. This timepiece, featuring a unique open dial and a symbolic representation of Russia’s coat of arms, captured Depardieu's attention immediately. He was particularly drawn to the intricate design and the historical significance behind the double-headed eagle, which represents Russia's rich heritage.
As the chief designer of CVSTOS GENÈVE, Antonio Terranova explained the complexity of crafting the heraldic dial and the hollow mechanical movement: “CVSTOS is a technology-driven brand. Through years of research, we have focused on maximizing the hollowing process while maintaining the highest level of precision and consistency.†The manufacturing process involves cutting a 2mm high cleat using a 5-axis multi-layer machine, followed by laser etching to carve the double-headed eagle pattern. Finally, the surface is sandblasted for a refined finish.
To protect the delicate micromechanical components, CVSTOS uses full hollowing and electroplated blasting techniques in its movements, such as the CVS 350 automatic and the CVS 2600 hand-wound tourbillon. These innovations ensure both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
Gérard Depardieu, who has been active in the film industry for over 50 years and has appeared in nearly 200 films, became a brand ambassador for CVSTOS. He expressed his deep connection with the "Proud to Be Russian" collection, saying, “I fell in love with this watch at first glance. The double-headed eagle and case screw design are truly unique. I wear it whenever possible, and it gives me a sense of home wherever I go.â€
The "Proud to Be Russian" collection is a special series launched by CVSTOS GENÈVE in collaboration with Gérard Depardieu. Each timepiece features an open dial and a three-dimensional double-headed eagle, symbolizing Russia's national identity. The transparent sapphire crystal is engraved with Depardieu’s signature, adding a personal touch to each piece. CVSTOS plans to expand the collection with more models, including chronographs and complex styles, further showcasing their dedication to innovation and artistry.
