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.

One of the most accurate Grand Seiko caliber is finally here
Grand Seiko SLGB001

In the late 1960s, Grand Seiko set a long-term goal—to design a caliber capable of achieving a monthly rate of ±1 minute. The Very Fine Adjusted initiative, also known as V.F.A., was born after this goal was set. It sparked a series of campaigns aimed at improving Grand Seiko’s calibers.

In the early '70s, the brand put effort into a spring drive that could balance traditional and modern energy advancements. Everything paid off in 2004 after they rolled out the caliber 9R65, a powerful movement designed to offer a monthly rate of ±15 seconds.
