Very objective view on Cubitus

[edyu]

Not beating a dead horse but I think now people have cooler minds and some have actually gotten the Cubitus, we can see Cubitus from a more objective view.

I still stand on my original analysis that it would be much improved and have better reception when they come in a smaller case.

I have seen all three models of the Cubitus in person, in three different ADs.
Among the three, I have tried on the platinum model, without the protective film wrapping, in a grey store.
I had strong hopes of liking it. I wanted to decide if I should place an order, especially because they are inaugurating models of a new line.
My conclusion was to wait for future iterations.

As many have said, they were nice, well-made watches.
What bothered me was, that contrary to the many criticisms that their designs are "lazy," I felt that they lacked the effortlessness that I see in most other Pateks.
I felt as though they were not initiated from an idea of a good watch which resulted in a square design, but from a strong need to come up with a new line with a square form, into which they had to try very hard to squeeze a good watch, i.e. the Nautilus.
All of this is very subjective, ofcourse.

Same for me. Saw them all and tried them at the AD... definitely nicer than pictures and they're very Patek but just didn't do anything for me. They felt unnecessarily big and bulky.

I'm in Gran Canaria next month so I will see if they have any in . Greatly looking forward to seeing these. (hopefully before I get laughed out the shop!)

Side by side it makes the Nautilus look old fashioned, lumpy (or "carbuncle" as King Charles once used to describe ) and ill formed as I always have because tbf I never really took to the Nautilus and fail to see the hype)

The Cube has clean lines and has tidied up the look, but the only two things I would prefer was a sq caseback window the round one looks cheap and the wider Nautilus bracelet would balance it more

TBF I tend to go against the grain somewhat as I also love the Calatrava Pilot TT and the Calatrava weekly calendar so judge me on my poor taste!

I tried on the SS model yesterday and my wife said, "You have to get that!"

It would be silly to start an argument with my wife.

Nice review. The last photo really shows the tiny underwhelming movement in the large square case. A solid back would have been best on this one, if PP would not take the time to build a square movement to fit the case.

I like them!

Ha. I have the same tastes on your other watches. I have the pilot and love it even though it's too big for me but I dislike the smaller version because I feel the dual time knobs are too big for the smaller case.

For Cubitus I'll wait for smaller edition before I say yes/no.

I told my SA I need that watch!

My wife just got a Reverso and yesterday fell in love with a Cartier. Trouble brewing.
