The Buzz Around Patek Philippe's Controversial Cubitus Watch
The Patek Philippe Cubitus, a new sports watch collection, has faced criticism for its design, which many see as uninspired and derivative of the Nautilus. Despite this, it remains highly sought after, with prices exceeding retail at auction. For those who admire the Cubitus but find it inaccessible, the Maen Manhattan offers a similar aesthetic at a fraction of the cost. This Dutch microbrand's watch, which debuted in 2022, features a square case and integrated bracelet, and is praised for its design and affordability, starting at around $1,000.
