Cohiba & Frederique Constant Create Addictive Timepieces

— August 11, 2010 — Fashion
Cuban cigar manufacturer Cohiba and luxury watchmaker Frederique Constant have teamed up to create a set of luxury watches unlike any other. The Cohiba & Frederique Constant watches are elegantly designed and cleverly packaged in a cigar box.

The packaging for the Cohiba & Frederique Constant watches also acts as a humidor for the cigars inside. This collaboration is a U.S. exclusive, with only 188 steel-plated and 188 rose gold-plated watches available. Smoking isn’t cool, but it is hard to deny the awesomeness of these timepieces.
