Here's a new watch collection from Patek Philippe

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.

Independent horology is often times where the most innovative and creative designs are born, and Paulin Watches is one brand that has made the bold decision to redefine the boundaries to leave their own unique take amongst watch aficionados.

The Mara has the privilege of being the first dive watch produced by the brand, a versatile timepiece that walks a steady but fine line between rugged cool and refined elegance. Watch enthusiasts will still find Paulin’s architectural mastery in top form in this model as it lives up to their own high standards. The Mara (Scottish Gaelic for 'of the sea,') is dynamic, robust, and visually stunning – continuing the brand’s evolving narrative and building upon their already illustrious history.
