The Kubera Series 1
The Kubera Series 1, ref. FB60-ST00, is one of HAUTLENCE's new timepieces. 
The steel case with a layered or tiered construction measures 36.0 x 43.8 x 11.3 mm.
The brass dial with a geometric structure is coated in olive green lacquer.
The minimalist time display includes a jumping hour at 12 o'clock and minute indication by a cursor moving around the dial’s periphery, guided by a track hidden beneath the surface.
The watch is powered by a Lajoux-Perret self-winding B60 movement, featuring an anti-magnetic escapement introduced for the first time at HAUTLENCE.
The name of the watch takes inspiration from Hindu mythology: Kubera, the god of wealth and guardian of underground treasures, is associated with the earth, mountains and precious minerals.
This reference is said to reflect the watch’s aesthetic: an object with sculpted surfaces and rich textures, evoking the layers and contours of a material shaped by time.

As Guillaume Tetu says in the video I've placed at the end of this post, HAUTLENCE's goal with the Kubera was to make a watch that was easier to wear on a daily basis than the brand's other pieces.
The steel bracelet has a cascade construction with links becoming progressively smaller and it is interchangeable with a quick-release system. The folding clasp also features a micro-adjustment system.

I do like square watches,but...
... this is not for me! I just find the design overdone.
Like you, I'm not sure about this design.
But it's the size that bothers me the most: it looks (too) big. The design is somehow interesting, imo. Best, Emmanuel
I also think it is really interesting,
but probably too large and bulky. I would have to see it in real life... Best, Emmanuel
I like the dial and the minimalist and aesthetic way to indicate time, but
-it is too big -or should be TV screen oriented -the case and strap is totally overdone and competes with the dial
I agree with you on both of your points, Markus.
I would need to see this watch in real life, though. Best, Emmanuel
