In-Depth: The Steel Patek Philippe Cubitus Steel 5821A on the Wrist
This was, by far, the most anticipated launch of the year, but also (and unsurprisingly) the most discussed and commented new release of 2024. In fact, I can’t recall witnessing such an amount of reactions from the watch community since the launch of the Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 collection – which, for several reasons, shouldn’t come as a surprise. We’re here to talk, of course, about the Patek Philippe Cubitus. And now that the dust has settled, and following our initial article presenting the collection, we thought it would be relevant to return to the topic, and specifically to look at the core model, the Steel Cubitus 5821A. It’s time to give you our impressions on the wrist – a.k.a the best way to give an objective opinion about a watch.Context of the launchFor several months now, we knew Patek was cooking something, a new collection of sporty-chic watches.

Prior to the SIHH 2018, back in December, IWC introduced a series of 4 watches, including one very surprising watch.

This re-edition of one of the greatest pocket-watches IWC ever made is now available in steel, still with the same?digital hours and minute display.The Tribute to Pallweber is a completely original watch, a vintage reedition, not of a famed 1960s piece but based on one of the most iconic pocket-watches ever manufactured by IWC, the?Pallweber. This 1884 piece showed a fascinating display based on a digital indication of both the hours and minutes - a first back then. Developed in 1884 and based on the Pallweber system developed by a Salzburg-based watchmaker, Josef Pallweber, it showed the hours and minutes with large numerals on rotating discs.

Hands-On With The Titanium IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40
If you’re into watches, you’re most certainly aware of the comeback of the IWC Ingenieur… And I mean by that, the return to the beloved integrated style designed by Gerald Genta in 1976, not the slightly disappointing collection that has been available from 2016 to earlier this year. Not only the comeback of the integrated Ingenieur was one of the worst-kept secrets of the industry, but it’s also one of the most discussed launched of Watches and Wonders 2023. We’ve extensively looked at the 3 steel models that form the core collection, but IWC had one last trick under its sleeve for us, one that we couldn’t see in advance, the Titanium IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40. And yes, in many regards, it is special.?Very quick recap. The IWC Ingenieur collection was born in the mid-1950s as a watch dedicated to people working in magnetic environments – the main specificity of the reference 666 was its movement protected by a soft-iron cage, something that w
