I’m just glad there are brands like Journe, ALS, even AP continuing to push the envelope. |

Interesting… I thought Ellipse was designed by Jean-Daniel Rubel (Head of the R&D department) at Patek Philippe at the time around 1966. Nevertheless, Happy to learn new things here everyday! Cheers Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I stand corrected! It does appear to be a common misconception, I guess I must've heard it somewhere

TS totally full of himself. inspite of the fact that the cubits shows that he didn't even attend university to study design. sort of a self-made home-taught design ignorant.

On the other hand the Cubitus is a pastiche Nautilus BUT with the added technical brilliance of the horologists who designed and improved the mechanism. If my wrists fatten up and I ever get to buy one it will be primarily for its guts. |

Agree, many of those who want one appear to be fairly new in their interest for the brand, like a few years in max. TS is probably just fine with that though.

I’m sorry but, to me at least, that is a completely classless statement for TS to say “the haters are mostly people who have never had a Patek and never will. So that doesn’t bother me”. I also find the statement somewhat arrogant. If he believed it was such a great and well thought out watch, may I humbly suggest he would have been better served explaining why he felt the new watch was so good.
Being classless and arrogant are not something I associate with owners of Patek. Quite the opposite actually. Confident and understated would be better descriptions. TS should surely be aware that such comments by a person in his position has the potential to damage brand perception. |
