Very objective view on Cubitus
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.
https://monochrome-watches.com/revie...ison-nautilus/ 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. |

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! |
