Still. I REALLY LIKED YOUR POST!
It was a nice technical post. And you covered the User Interface topic thoroughly. Even though it wasn't a quartz watch this time, I think you took a risk to show your thoughts! And I'm glad that you took a thoughtful risk! I was getting excited about getting a quartz watch too.
If the Cubitus is a quartz line, this is how the leaked model could work
Before you dismiss the possibility out of hand, consider: 1) The dial lost the power reserve 2) There is a big date, day and moonphase. As a mechanical, all three would need to be corrected upon watch reset. 3) The small seconds has only twelve tick marks...
You Are Quoting Bubble-Economics. Honsty.... $40,000 for a FPJ Quartz is laughable imho. The BUBBLE POPPED FOLKS! It's GAME OVER. <<<
Now we enter the financial phase when timepiece manufacturers will have to get back to working to make a sale as was the historic norm. In fact, we may go back to the Asia crisis times or worse financially. Be prepared folks. Just ask LVMH stock / recent ...
Hmm. Actually, I can see that as a possibility.
Imagine if it's a PLATINUM cased watch, quartz, complicated, and from Patek Philippe. I can see that costing $40K easily on a strap. A steel, no complications, Patek Philippe, on a strap would already cost close to $20K. Data point is the Patek 24 for lad...
Well it didn’t happen
Perpetual calendar instructions could have been: 1) you don’t need to reset it 2) take to AD every 4 years 3) consider to buy another watch from AD, while AD changes battery and seals

Thanks!
Since no QPQ (Quantième Perpétuel Quartz) today, this beater will have to do 😅 ...
Hey! That's a perpetual calendar!
Apple Watches are perpetual calendars! They know what day, month, year it is!
Seems actually plausible.
The ladies' 24 watch is quartz, steel, and costs $16K USD. The men's variant without diamonds would probably cost that or more.
We will know soon
7 pm in Munich now Since the early 90’s launch of the Twenty4, display case backs have caught on across almost all price points, so i expect all models of this line to show off the decorated movements within. I speculate this line would start with 3 membe...
Seeing posts in Facebook with the 3 hander…
Seconds hand pointing exactly to a whole second. Coincidence or not?
Equally funny is the 1 and 8 in different font weight
8 is also not centered. I think the advert is real and probably a bad photoshop job but it would be super hilarious if it is like that in real life.
The dial layout and big date font...
I am reminded a lot of GP Laureto Evo3 Moonphase, or just me?
Yes with MS Paint
Here’s earlier work for the Piaget 212P, an earlier perpetual calendar quartz (with chronograph!) The Piaget method for QP was to spin the time an extra 24 hours at midnight at the end of apr, Jun, sep, Nov and an extra 48 to 72 hours at the end of Februa...
I agree either possible
But I hope not a 240 because that means anytime you leave this sports watch alone for 2 or more days, you have reset time, date, day and moonphase 😱
this watch only makes sense if...
...it contains a quartz or spring-drive-type caliber IMHO.
Could make sense as a spring driven caliber because?
I like SD but how would it differ in this instance from an automatic?
True!
Quartz changes the game here. This watch will be to the Nautilus, what the Aquanaut Luce is to the Aquanaut. And the Luce is a fantastic watch, by the way. In my mind, if quartz, it all makes sense in a way.
It’s worse
PP discontinued the 5711A, in order to release THIS watch today? Incomprehensible stuff really. Why not just produce more 5711A and 5167A? Anyway, this is bad in aesthetics, in design language, in marketing, in product placement, in long term strategy, in...
Well, to be honest
with this design it doesn't even matter anymore what movement is inside... A watch only a mother could love, the Aquanauts and Nautilus' disfigured sibling in the basement...
