TS's Take on the Cubitus Release

[enthusiast]

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

Here you go.

[Roger Lococco]

Hahahahahaha. I hope this is a bad translation. If not ...

"Haters are mostly people who have never had a Patek"

[Watchdoyouwant?]

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

The Dunning-Kruger effect is strong here.

Nope I am German and it reads exactly the same for me :)

Here’s a photo that goes well with the interview:

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.

Here's the link to the original source.

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.

Should have called the line cubilus.

Generally, I like his interviews a lot. This one, too. I just don’t like the new model. I’m sure enough other people will.

From the article, “The man who trained and introduced me said to me as I left, "Good luck, Thierry, everything has already been done." He almost broke me with that statement, and I swore to myself that I would do anything to make the opposite true.” -TS


After reading this, I can only think of a kid getting goaded into doing something he shouldn’t do — TS is trying so hard (too hard?) to make his stamp on design.

[enjoythemusic]

Keep it double or triple sealed in your safe. That's your best bet.

[Giovannibravo]

Honestly I don’t think it is completely awful. I’m sure it will grow on us. I would have just liked it to be smaller. Rectangular watches wear bigger. On top of that the tend is moving towards smaller watches.

Meh.

Best part is that he created a bastardized Nautilus, totally biting off of Genta’s design (nothing wrong with that) but for the worst.

Bracelet and case clash so much IMO

The platinum piece looks great. My only gripe is the date setting requires a tool to set.

I'm glad so may people don't like it. Means there are less people in front of me in the queue....!! I own a nautilus and aquanaut and really like it because it is so different and registered my interest for the green dial within the first few minutes of its announcement so I hope it will be less than several years......!! I heard they are going to "top load" production in the first year so that might help too.
