TS's Take on the Cubitus Release

[enthusiast]

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

Here you go.

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

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

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

Really? Seems like a stupid and arrogant thing to say. And incorrect.

" The haters are mostly people who have never had a Patek and never will"

The heading quotes TS.

He used the very English word "haters".

It comes across as both arrogant and insecure to me…

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.

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.

Clearly since they have been killing ADs we decades long relationships.

[Watchdoyouwant?]

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

The Dunning-Kruger effect is strong here.

Now we have a watch with the same shape of Thierry Stern’s head.
One day he woke up in front of his mirror and said : whats the most beautiful shape in the world ? My beautifull head. We make a Nautilus out of it

Round man wears square watch: Looks ridiculous and sounds like an asshole. This is the new face of Patek.
If you are not a fanboy move on. There are many other fish in the sea. The Cubitus is Sponge Bob Nautilus. Hideous.

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.

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!"

Should have called the line cubilus.

Maybe Cubilingus?
Sorry!

Here's the link to the original source.

Thank you for the link :)

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.

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

Supposedly, we cannot buy them that way anymore.

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.

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

Also, from the interview:
I've been responsible for creation for a long time. I'm good at it without really having a clue, I never went to design school. But I grew up with the products and I have a strength in that. Why? I don't know, it's always been easy for me to have ideas and go into the details.

This statement comes across as self-righteous and conceited. True leadership lies in recognizing the collective effort that goes into any creative process, and it’s important to acknowledge the team or people who have contributed along the way. By taking sole credit here, he diminishes the value of others’ contributions. A more balanced perspective would not only show humility but also reinforce the idea that great results are often the product of collaboration, rather than one person’s supposed innate talent.

This is peak nepobaby.

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.
