TS's Take on the Cubitus Release

The original is in German, the link is the auto-translation by Google.

Here you go.

If that is real, and if the translation is accurate, what a self-important tool!

The Dunning-Kruger effect is strong here.

The heading quotes TS.

He used the very English word "haters".

It comes across as both arrogant and insecure to me…

Own 8 pateks here and could get this from AD if I actually wanted it in short fashion I suspect. Dislike it. He can call me a hater all day long.

I thank him though. He's saved me money for the future.

I also appreciate the interviews questions with feedback we were all thinking even if the responses were less than desired. The journalist was certainly no patek apologist.

Makes me appreciate my Aquanaut that much more. Cubitus being some sort of new sports line is likely going to be wishful thinking for Patek. It's like ChatGPT was asked to make a square nautilus and it spit out and image and Patek took the first draft and said "GENIUS!"

It seems to me it’s exactly the opposite to what TS is quoted saying.

The haters are mostly people who have owned (and currently own) a Patek.

It is those who haven’t owned, but who have wanted to own, a Patek who seem to like it.

Go figure.
