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.

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?
Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Christopher Ward’s new release turns its sporty Loco into a dress watch
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
