Actually, I don’t. I may not be wealthy enough to bribe ADs to put me on a supposed waitlist for a lazily-designed watch that only its mother could love, but one day I may be. Because I don’t like the Cubitus Thierry Stern made it clear the watch is not for me, which suits me fine. If fortune smiles on me financially and I’m able to spend $40k on a stainless steel trinket, I will take my hard-earned cash to a alternative high horology brand that respects me as a customer and earns my respect in return. That will give me the kind of positive appreciative feeling Patek clearly no longer cares about. I’m sure that, despite its crude appearance and unattractive name, the Cubitus will have no trouble finding enough insecure rappers and D-list celebrities willing to buy the thing for the status bestowed by the name on the dial. If it makes you happy, fill your boots.

I remember an interview with Jean Claude Biver in which he recalls a Gerald Genta story about the origine/inspiration for the Nautilus "imagine you put the Royal Oak 50 thousand years on the beach, and after 10 thousand years you take the Nautilus out of the sea, and you will notice that everything has become round". I have the feeling Patek Philippe fell asleep going back in time and woke up to an edgier Royal Oak :))))

We can debate for hours about that. The looks, the price, etc. I heard one creator say basically that because it was a design from Mr. Stern himself, it went through the whole process until production because he is just surrounded by yes men who will validate everything he says and does. We see that in many corporations in the world. It does make sense. Especially when you know that it won't really matter because these things will sell like croissants to who it was always targeted at: their hardcore fan base already customers (never has it been thought about for new, younger customers, this is delusional and out of touch with reality, which I think is the case of Mr. Stern sadly)

I have been waiting for this video from you, @TheoandHarris. Big Patek collector here. I believe that this watch just doesn't make any sense. Having followed the brand for many years, it seems to my like Patek got more and more arrogant over the recent years. One example is the watch with the face of Mr Philippe Stern on it. Imagine Ferrari would release a car with Enzo Ferrari's face across the whole bonnet of the car. Already the idea of it just seems silly. But the Cubitus goes even a step further. Your are essentially taking the most successful design of the most successful designer of the modern watch era (Gerald Genta) and changing it in a way that unmistakably screams: "Look at us, we are even better than Genta himself." It just seems extremely arrogant.

When the images first came out I thought it was an April Fools kinda thing. The next day was the official release. I couldn’t believe it! This reminded me of the current gen BMW 7 series release with its gigantic ugly grille and unnecessary headlights design. What’s wrong with it: 42mm is too big for a thin square plain steel watch that looks like a Nautilus. It’s too top heavy a shape for the design. This is actually incredible considering Patek’s timeless design language. If it were more rectangular and smaller it could’ve worked, and actually been something nice. Obviously the price point is ridiculous and it’s aimed for hype buyers who look at people like Mark Wahlberg has on his wrist, who imo buys every single new sports watch just to say he got it first. The Nautlilus bracelet doesn’t for the case shape as has been discussed. Perhaps if they release 39mm size it will wear and look better in this format.

No thanks to the rest of the collection as far as I care, as a watch enthusiast for over 55 years. In terms of Mr. Stern's comments about potential clients: What do you expect from a guy born with a platinum spoon in his mouth?

The size is the worst part, followed closely by the derivativeness. Maybe if they removed the Nautilus ears and named it something completely different rather than cube and tus to again… refer back to the fucking Nautilus. So unbelievably lazy. People say that this is a similar reaction to when the Aquanaut was released, but it was sooo different with a rubber strap and grenade dial. Yes you could see that were related but that’s okay. They even gave it a good name. Not Aquanus or something stupid like that. I’m sure seeing a cube in real life would maybe warm you to it a bit more but the fact still remains… derivative.

How do you compare the look of this as compared to watches along the line of the Santos De Cartier? It's an integrated square sports watch. I prefer the Santos, and I think the complications are ridiculous. But the base model (forget the price, that's insane) as compared to a Santos - it's not REALLY that different. And the Santos is one of the most loved watches in the world.

The patek version of the casio g square. It is not a royal oak version as many think, that is different shape. You can only make a watch in so many shapes, I don't think it is a horrible as people make it out to be. Cartier has many a square watch which work. Apple watch, JLC and vacheron is a rectangle that runs long with the bracelet. I think here lies the design issue that watch runs wide on the wrist perpendicular to the band. Something we are less conditioned to seeing. It is not a bad iteration of the nautilus in another shape. I think without wearing it I would reserve judgement.

The Cubitus isn't any more odd than the A Lange & Sohne Odysseus, or the Parmiagiani Tonda. The only difference is that you cant help but compare the Cubitus to the Nautilus; whereas, the other two watches come from a blank slate. Years from now, when we have all forgotten about the Nautilus, the Cubitus will just be seen as nothing more than the mass market brand of High end horology ( A Lange makes in the hundreds, while Parmiagiani in thousands... Patek in the 10,000 + category). Patek is the Rolex of high end horology.

There are so many aspects to the cubitus. 1. It is not very original, basically a nautilus dial in a square box. Plus a date stuck at the top. 2. But, and this is how I truly feel, this watch looks very interesting. And to me, it is quite beautiful. If I have to attach labels, then I would reserve the term ugly for the aquanaut. And the nautilus is odd and only through getting used to it may one find it beautiful. 3. The seemingly simple square design introduces an interesting tension between a dynamic impression and a static case. Very modern, yet with staying power. 4. Bottom line, I find this the most beautiful and attractive Patek, and if it wasn’t so outrageously priced, I would go for one. Remains to be seen if this line cannibalizes nautilus and aquanaut sales, or adds to them.

Thierry Stern said a couple of years ago that he didn't want Patek to be a one watch brand like AP. Also, I think he is a bit worried about the frustration among Patek fans about the unavailability of the steel Nautilus when it was in production. The Cubitus might be Pateks attempt to make a steel bracelet dressy sports watch available to Patek fans. A watch that isn't immediately ripped from the shelves by flippers and non-Patek customers who only want the Nautilus. For that to happen they must make a watch with less mainstream appeal than the Nautilus, at a price point not too easily available. Basically pleasing the Patek customers rather than the hype-world.

I sorta see the idea as a steel sports path into the brand. I mean the current budget friendly (relative) options are Calatravas and dress watches haven't been as hype in recent years. If you wanted to get your feet wet the sports options really were nautilus or aquanaut which are unobtainable, a 5905 in steel in the 50k pricepoint or say screw it and just eat the secondary market upcharge or buy stuff you dislike. As someone looking to start with patek they always get really pushy trying to start people with Calatravas. As someone with simple dress watch already filled it's totally uninteresting but they seem to be resistant to starting with complications.

I personally don’t hate the platinum one with the complications. I think without the complications the dial feels so empty. Also it looks much better with a strap over a bracelet.

From the design to the name it’s truly a joke. A derivative disaster of a legendary watch.

I think it’s going to grow on people. If you like square watches to begin with, some people do and some people don’t, then honestly it’s just a square Nautilus. The Nautilus has always been an awkward circle in a square and wasn’t well received when it was introduced either.

It feels like an April fools joke .... They took a classic design, turned it into a square, and slapped a 40k price tag on it. It feels like they're showing their contempt for the community "Let's see if they'll buy anything from us" ... it looks like a Maen and Raymond Weil collaboration.

The problem is, I’d like to have a debate with you about this, but I agree with everything you said. The only one I can tolerate is the stainless steel bracelet. But I would also like to emphasize a point I think you missed, it’s HUGE. Unfortunately for the small wrist gang this ain’t it. I too am disappointed because of how long we’ve waited for something new and it feels like a let down. How long til the next one?

Thank you for highlighting the fact that last year they offered an actual green dialed Nautilus for much less. Baffling.

Nice to see MAMACOO show a watch that can be afforded by almost anyone rather than these pieces costing thousands and thousands which are out of reach for so many.

I really think the only thing they got right is the name. It has to be a clear reference to Cubitus Varus, which is literally a DEFORMITY ON THE FORARM, which is exactly what the watch will do

If I've got the spare 'spare' money then it's a yes, just for speculations. But my watch budget has been swapped for silver and gold in the past 3 years.

I don't find the watch ugly in fact I quite enjoy the design with a squared 70s esk case however on multiple occasions now I've mistaken it for a Maen because the design fits more of an inspired by Patek rather than being a Patek

It seems Thierry Stern and sons are making watches much bigger with more garish dials, tarmac texture, colours etc. I think they’re trying get away from being dominated by the Nautilus plus a series ‘old-man style’ watches but those are the ones that I like! I’m waiting to see the new 96 but starting think it might not happen. There’s always vintage but they’re not cheap and usually have been over polished and probably very expensive to maintain.

I love a square/rectangular watch and I can’t get onboard with this. So many watch makers have been able to get it right: Cartier, Tag Heuer, JLC and even Bell & Ross have more attractive offerings.

All luxury goods need the 'hype machine' aspect to survive, but the ones that survive provide consumers plausible deniability under the real aspects of high horology and innovation. This watch openly announces 'the emperor has no clothes, what are you gonna do about it?' and only despots around the world(the real target demographic maybe?) enjoy that kind of thing.
