Stern “designed” the Cubitis himself. He’s never had a design class in his life, and literally has no experience in the field. Look how lazy the design is, he literally just squared up the Nautilus.. missed a complete opportunity to give the consumers a new bracelet and dial..

[@wojciechm.5737]

This guy thinks that he has talent and the skills, just because he inherited this company from his father. Absolutely ridicolous.

CEO suffers from "main character" syndrome. There are only 3 names that need to be highlighted when talking about this brand. Antoni Patek, Franciszek Czapek and Adrien Philippe.

[@forgettmenot]

I was planning to purchase three calatravas in December, celebrating the family business with me and my parents. Prepared this for 3 years. I called and cancelled the meeting with the local Patek manager. Absolutely appalling management.

This is the same terrible attitude the leaders of BMW had when their new design language was heavily criticised. Most of the original customer base went elsewhere and the brand became something else

[@christianfloehr]

Yes! I am a BMW fan and owner for years. Thought to buy a PP but now keep my „old“ car e 46 M3 and buy an AP… 😂 Times change 😅

[@estatesla]

BMW lost their way many years ago when the 3, 5, and 7 looked the same. Let's not forget some of their lower prices cars don't even drive like a BMW. The only BMW cars worth buying are the M series. Everything else seems to be crap.

[@christianfloehr]

@ The new M5 is far too heavy, not elegant and I would prefer the F90 in a heartbeat… but enjoying my e46 M3 every day.. 🙃

[@Pilipinazz]

He wanted to improve an iconic Gerald Genta design and miserably failed at it then he goes off to tell “you cant afford our timepieces anyway if you don’t like my new design”

[@CarlosVijande]

Imagine saving for years, to give money to that nepobaby, to look down on you with disdain.

[@Nefville]

Thierry Stern didn't get to be the president of Patek Phillipe because of his qualifications or merit or because he earned it, he was just born into the right family. He's a nepo baby. And he acts like it: classless, arrogant, totally lacking in self-awareness and beyond entitled. Any brand, even Patek Phillipe, can have a flop but I lost all respect because of HIM, not the Cubitus.

[@WatchEric]

correct

[@fachzentrumkfo]

Even though many will disagree this is why Rolex will always remain the benchmark in the watch company: their management does not lack professionalism. They’d never make such a mistake like Stern did. I think Patek will steer away potential buyers and quite frankly they don’t have many visually appealing watches. Yes they might be top notch but it’s all quite paired to a dated and old fartish design language. There are better options now ,…

[@CamiloHolz]

Me too... Fuck Peter from family guy destroied the admiration ive had of Patek Philippe

[@Cityadventurers]

A lot of people are saying the exact same thing

[@oysterman962]

T​here's an old saying , if you don't have something nice to say then don't say anything at all. Thierry Stern should have just kept quiet and let his choice of design speak for itself, rather than defend his position arrogantly. Rolex don't do interviews and actually have a policy that their employees are not allowed to speak to the press. That's why Rolex advertise Watches for Professionals. And Patek is a watch you never own, or would ever want to.

U r right bro! The man don’t look too sharp.. just seating on the family brand and talk Sh*t

(Swiss living in Geneva) I saw Journe how he behaves with unknown people. Sorry, but Stern has not even the first place. Thank you for highlighting TS's design process and his view on designers which are both terrible and damaging for the future of the brand (and explains a lot about the releases of these last years). Am I an old f* to say that I prefer the father's tastes? BTW, Apple was Apple thanks to Jobs *and*Jony Ive who is.... a designer.

[@JoseNunez-sz2vf]

Lmao 🤣 Peter griffin is running Patek! Now I can’t unsee it! Another great video thank you Eric 😂🙏🏼

[@scottlucidi6476]

Best episode in a long time! I liked when Frank honked at Eric and he looked back and was like "What's up, Frank!"

[@1pashar]

Eric, as a long time collector with several PP timepieces in my collection, my reaction to Cubitus and his interview was nearly identical to yours. Thrierry’s arrogance, sadly but fortunately, is evident in his response. I have had one word for this new release which now also applies to the CEO… Cubitus = Stupidus. Cheers brother!

[@off-roadingcars]

Eric says what needs to be said. Thank you. Everyone else is too scared to speak the truth and say out loud what many think.

[@pablox3783]

Unfortunately there is, and always has been idiots in charge that have gained their position through blood and not talent! Spot on for calling it out Eric😂

[@forsterdaniel]

you just nailed it ! Now the "crapitus" nickname is in my head and will not leave every time i see the picture of this hideous monster

[@todaysmilk]

Love the way you point this out. Brutal honest opinion. Like that. As a CEO of a company like patek you have to be a loth more inspiring.

[@Ballsyone]

The Nautilus is the most boring sports watch EVER! Their other models are beautiful but is that the best bezel they could come up with? Now they made it square too? Aaahh, I gotcha card. BTW, thank you for telling it like it is Eric. Still my favorite watch channel.

[@scurfawatches]

I agree I got one for my 40th and was seriously underwhelmed, it went back three times in the two year warranty period making it the worst retail watch purchase I have ever made and believe me I have made a lot.

[@patsmith3894]

The secret of the Nautilus is that it looks like a piece of sh!t. Scarcity made it what it is. The death knell of Patek might be their new factory. When they begin pumping watches out in volume, people might notice they are poorly made, mechanically unreliable, and, in many cases, ugly.

[@epoernomo]

You are spot on eric. Couldnt agree more. The lastest square shape patek looks terrible. The best shape to me, so far is PP 5040

[@Leturane]

He did said he is not from any design school. Shame that was the only time he is actually self aware.

[@mohdzakibuang6766]

It’s time to move on from PP to other brands such as AP, Lange, Vacheron or even Rolex.

I concur 100% with you Eric. The arrogance of that CEO is off the charts. And he is oblivious of the reality anyway. If somebody wants a Patek bad enough can go to Chrono 24 and get one.

i have 5980/1r pp, multiple gold rolexes, and two ap's. i'm not going buy any watch brand that says you have to buy other shit to get the one i want. i can live without it ty. every luxury brand mofo ceo trying to push Hermes like sales nowadays. well wait until the pretenders run out of easy money then you will need customers like us but at that point i need discounts to buy. another thing is wtf is the use of a.d stores if they dont want to sell msrp but only to grey market dealers for mark ups? but i respect Eric. real honest guy

[@samuelburton5576]

Remember there is a reason Hermes is doing extremely well even when others are faltering. It's called exclusivity and value retention. Any true luxury maker who discounts and appeals to the mass is affected by the mass when the economy declines. Your philosophy is why Gucci, Burberry. and others are suffering. People but..... about Hermes and their practice but it's why they stand out.

[@YanikCoen]

And that is why I personally love and wear Vacheron Constantin. Classy creative brand. Not chasing the urban rapper community.

[@JahangirMohan]

Picked up a MAMACOO's watch as my first watch last month and I’m absolutely in love with it. Perfect size, looks elegant, very comfortable. Now my only problem is holding off from buying more watches so quickly!

[@johnlager584]

Most Luxury brands tend to craft arrogance to promote exclusivity. But The appropriate quote here - “It is better to stay silent and let people think you are an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.”

[@frankieyu9532]

Made the 1st steel cubitus came directly with green dial (the ultimate dial colour ) means he himself wasn't confident with his new design at all. usually it came out with charcoal dial, then blue with precious metal version, then green being the final hit.

all points spot on. their sales pitch is eventually these designs become iconic. They need to have a humble tone

And you, my friend is brilliant as always 🤝🤝🤝and that’s what I love your channel 🙏🙏🙏🙏thank you so much

[@nielslarsen1693]

Eric you are missing the point. The Cubitus is a reference to the medical condition "Cubitus Varus" which means a deformity to the forearm. Obviously Thierry Stern is very concerned about this deformity and making a watch referencing the deformity while also being and ACTUAL deformity of the forearm is next level genius. If it was good looking it wouldn't make sense

[@sebastianbucur5135]

Cubitus is the Latin name of a bone in the arm

[@nielslarsen1693]

@sebastianbucur5135 that doesnt explain why it is so ugly. My theory does so my theory is correct

[@nickdefreitas]

Well said as always Eric. If the 45mm didn’t make it look like a tv screen on the wrist it may have at least been more acceptable. But the presidents comments has left me not desiring the brand anymore

Common Eric, these new models are his kid's creations, just like the horrible 6007s that met a lot of criticism. That is why old Thierry is defending the Cubitus so much. His kids don't have the creative or business skills of their father or grandfather.

got my 39mm with the white dial on the 3-link "Bader" bracelet watch on MAMACOO 3 weeks ago and am loving it to pieces. Absolute fantastic watch that wears super comfortable on my 6.75 inch wrist. Chose the 3-link over the 5-link bracelet for the toolless quick adjustment. Way more comfortable than my Longines Hydroconquest 41 mm.

[@edoardocentis515]

I agree 100 %. He is not fit to run the Company. Furthermore, in my opinion, Patek can no longer take it for granted that potential clients are willing to wait forever and spend an arm and a leg for an overpriced watch. They have to innovate, reduce prices and increase production.
