Patek Philippe unveils another watch collection based on the elegant sporty style known as Cubitus. For starters, every watch in this collection has a square casing with round corners, complemented by an exclusive dial, giving each timepiece a modern and appealing touch.

To redefine the elegant sporty style, this brand opted for a new shape—something squarish and accentuated with round cuts. While Patek Philippe could have used other geometric shapes from the Art Deco period (from 1919 to 1939), it preferred a new geometric design to an old one.

The new collection comprises three different timepieces—Cubitus Instantaneous Grand Date, Cubitus Ref. 5821/1AR-001, and Cubitus Ref. 5821/1A001.

The Cubitus Instantaneous Grand Date has more sophisticated technical features than the other two timepieces, thanks to its high-performing calibre (the 240 PS CI J LU self-winding movement). Apart from that, it has grand date, weekday, and moon phase displays for efficient timekeeping. The Cubitus Ref. 5822P-001 retails at $88,500.

The second timepiece, Cubitus Ref. 5821/1AR-001, is fitted with a blue sunburst dial and is available in two different hues; gold and steel. In terms of design, the second timepiece has a retro two-tone hue that’s inspired by classical pieces.

Lastly, the Ref. 5821/1A001 is a real representation of sporting elegance due to the olive green sunburst dial and steel finish. It also has a vertical-satin-brushed finish for a modern allure.

The new cubitus collection is available at the official Patek Philippe store and other authorized retailers.

Seiko adds gorgeous new dial colors to Presage Style60’s collection
The Presage collection is getting better by the day
Seiko Presage 2025

Seiko adds three new watches to the Presage Style60's collection with striking dial colors—green, yellow, and purple. Apart from reimagining the dial in different colors, the brand also revamped the design, merging retro aesthetics with the contemporary style for an elevated look. While this line was unveiled with a 40.5 mm casing, the brand downsized the casing to 39.55 mm in 2024. Like the models rolled out in 2024, the latest additions also feature a 39.5 mm casing, highlighted by bright dial colors.

In terms of design, the brand added a circular groove to the dial to create depth—a small detail that makes the front face look modern. And just above the 6 o’clock, there’s a small white date window that accentuates the beautiful contrast between the upper and lower sections.

New Ming 37.02 Ghost watch draws inspiration from architectural finishes
Ming's latest platinum watch is reminiscent of architectural components
Ming 37.02 Ghost

Popular for its minimalist aesthetic, Ming is now setting the standards with a new titanium watch, based on a previous 2024 model, the Ming 37.02. While the latest model has the same design as the 2024 edition, it is accentuated by a brushed finish that reflects light stylishly, making the watch look more modern. Ming’s main inspiration for the new watch was metallic finishes from different architectural components—baffles, claddings, struts, and buttresses.

Every Ming watch aligns with a certain theme. The LW.01 model, for instance, is made from a lightweight material and holds the title of the lightest model from the brand. Given that architectural finishes inspire the new Ghost model, the casing is made of Grade 2 titanium, a material that can be molded to align with the architectural theme.

The material is more sturdy than stainless steel and can take everything thrown its way.

It's complemented by a black bezel featuring a bidirectional 12-hour scale with 1/2 hour increments, highlighted by a white shade that adds to the look and makes the front face look more stylish—a bright color that creates a beautiful contrast.
