That's quite an indictment of Cubitus and Code 11:59!
LOL! Thanks for chiming in! Have a great weekend. Best, Robert
I'm a die-hard Patek fan so eventually the Cubitus should grow on me!
Have a great weekend Tony Best, Robert
Neither is appealing
Both are exemples of management asking « ok creative team, you have to invent something that nobody has ever dared, impress us». Both designs are collections of gimmicks with Little coherence and zero simplicity. IMO a beautiful design is a simple one and...
Funny you mentioned it.
Actually yesterday I had the chance to try them on the Platinum Cubitus and the 40mm steel bracelet and to my surprise I liked both, not loved, but liked! The platinum calendar is youthful, casual, heavy a daily companion, while the steel bracelet(40mm), ...
Have this code and really like it.
The side view below is a strange one, but there is not that coke bottle effect at any other angle. It actually took me several months to of ownership before I saw that. ...
I don't think of watches as investments.
This is the Code I could love to own (I've tried others, but this one really stood out). I tried the 40mm Cubitus and found it very pleasant, but not quite enough to make me want it. Just my personal feelings, of course. Best, Emmanuel ...
I'd buy a PF Tonda or Moser Streamliner chrono and a couple of other pieces with the same outlay
And wouldn't feel a shred of jealousy. For me, the Cubitus will never appeal and I love square / rectangular case shapes... It feels like the more they push it the less appealing it becomes, regarding the Code, if they changed the hands to match the techn...
This! Moser, PF, even an Alpine Eagle over the cubits.
Not to hate on the Cubitus but it really feels like it's just TS's agenda.... similar in my mind to a Cybertruck. Some may like it, but can't deny that it's a pet project. Code gets a bad rap, but it's a great platform.
Code
I have many more Pateks than APs, but I would go Code. The newer versions are starting to hit their stride. The 38 QP, Starwheel, etc. I hope Patek figures out something with the Cubitus, but it ist doing it for me right now
Cubitus.
At 40mm. I find the time only cubitus to be more aesthetically appealing than the complications. And on the flip side, the complicated Codes are attractive but the time only are not appealing to me.
Interesting comparison because both are new
designs necessary for widening the brands from wildly successful predecessors. IMO both the Code and Cubitus require time for the collectors to grow into them. Hence, at this point, I would purchase the one that sings more to more. Actually I do have a Co...
Maybe not invest…
I believe both designs were made for cost saving. The only difference is that you dont see it blatantly in the code. But the code also got a few more hears under its belt. I would get the starwheel code given a chance.
