Cubitus Viewing at AD

Went to my local AD in Prague today to try on the Cubitus collection. Must say the pictures online don’t do it justice. More you look at it in person, the more you appreciate the design and craftsmanship. My wrist is 6.75 and I personally prefer the bracelet version.

It is an outlier in the PP watch style and perhaps a bit brutalist rather than Bauhaus but it looks much better in real life than the images.

In my eyes these look awfully large in the shots despite the fact that the dangling bracelet makes the wrist look larger than it is. Once the bracelet has been properly fitted the green one will look larger still. It would wear smaller and more elegantly if they had rounded the corners but, wait, we have had exactly that since 1976.

I'm in agreement with the other poster that this looks large on your wrist. It's not just the lug-to-lug, but the entire real estate it takes up. It wears really big, at least in the pictures.

I'm also of the opposite side of the spectrum in that the more and more I see these things on an actual wrist, I'm beginning to dislike it more.

It's a really....hmmm....inelegant design. It's very sharp and brutalistic, if I can create a word. For a company known for elegance even in its sports watches, the watch looks more like Soviet era constructivist art.

If that's your thing, more power to you. But it's very jarring for me.

Glad you liked them.

I mean this as a light comment, but whenever I see pictures of the 5822P, the bottom of the dial reminds me of this clock:

Yes they were all spoken for. Wish list the only option.

I had tried one on a few weeks back, it felt huge after wearing a nautilus and more in line with the feel of a 42mm rolex in the way it spread out on the wrist. Its not objectively too big for most people but it felt oversized in comparison
