It's not my business

but did you get the wonderful Leica stuff to sell or use?
I assume that you paid because you thought the results were worth the cost. And I bet you're still getting them,, right?
Be happy, you are fortunate to have such wonderful creative tools.
Kind regards,
Antony

Rexhep has Landed
By: ant : November 10th, 2019-05:07
At last I have received my Rexhep Chronometre Contemporain, it has been a long wait. About three years ago I came across Akrivia at the QP exhibition. I was knocked out by his beautiful design philosophy. I could see that the watchmaking itself was stella...
big congratulations Antony...

Thank you Mahesh

I coundn't have (didn't) put it better myself. Kind regards, Antony
Beautiful.

Congratulations Antony!
Congratulations!!!

This is one of my absolute favorites. Definitely one of the elite time-only watches, right up there with Dufour, Voutilainen, and Smith!
Err, not delivered yet!
By: ant : November 10th, 2019-23:33
I'm looking forward to seeing it as much as you! ATB Antony
Thanks,

An el cheapo Lumix GX 800 with 30mm Sigma lens,,,,£175 for all of it on E bay. I bought on a whim and now I am deeply impressed. Regards, Antony
Sigma 30mm F2.8 Art Series. £75!!

It is a joy to use. Takes great portraits with excellent bokeh. So much performance, so little dosh!
Thank you so much. 🙏😊

That is an amazing price. I should get one.
Really nice combo
By: ant : November 10th, 2019-13:50
Not as good as the Ricoh GRiii, but what is? Nevertheless, the combo takes bright punchy pics, focusses quickly and has a sensible FOV. The GX800 being old is out of fashion and so, it seems, is the Sigma Art 30mm. Great for us!

No, you’re right but my point was
By: ChristianDK : November 10th, 2019-22:44
That you can get really good glass at a fraction of the cost of Leica. I suppose that is the the reason prices have dropped so rapidly in the last couple of years.

Dear Antony . First of all a Huge Congrats for getting this Masterpiece.
By: Watchonthewrists : November 10th, 2019-06:44
There is no other word for it imho . And everything you said about Rexhep is so true . I just visit his workshop two hours ago (yes on a Sunday ,thats how dedicated he is to create his brand). His whole team is amazing and humble imho . Everything is so p...
I think that Rexhep
By: ant : November 10th, 2019-07:37
is going far. He has all the ingredients for success: In the right place Charm Ability Work ethic Comittment And,perhaps most important,,,,,,luck Good luck to him. Kind regards, Antony
I know what you mean
By: ant : November 10th, 2019-10:18
The chapter ring (if you can call it that) is certainly not traditional and takes some mental realignment but having done so it is refreshing. The high gloss gold circle around the small seconds is, in my view, a little loud. Maybe eggshell, texture or ma...
Congratulations, Antony.
By: TheMadDruid : November 10th, 2019-07:32
This is a perfect addition to your stellar collection. It really is.
Thanks!
By: ant : November 10th, 2019-10:19
I hope that you are well. When you're next here let's have a coffee/lunch at the Atrium. Kind regards Antony
Stunning! Wear it in the best of health.
By: BigFatPauli : November 10th, 2019-08:00
The Rexhep Rexhepi is, in my eyes, the greatest watch to come out of Switzerland in, at least, the past 20 years. Probably more. Bravo!
Thanks
By: ant : November 10th, 2019-10:21
Looking forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, Antony
Congratulations!
By: Mach : November 10th, 2019-08:31
That is one stunning piece! Wear it in the best of health, and, I do mean WEAR IT! That's too stunning to remain in the safe!
Congrats Antony
By: Mr.Gatsby : November 10th, 2019-10:34
I reckon this is classical watch making amongst its finest. You have yourself a treasure. I’m definitely gonna gun for one myself.
Thank you, I heartily concur and recommend it,
By: ant : November 10th, 2019-10:59
but it might be a bit tricky because they are sold out. Much to my surprise I have had two offers to 'take it off my hands' (yeah, right!), one even offered a small premium. I have a feeling that prices are going in a northerly direction. The next series ...
Damn I can’t stop looking at your photos
By: Mr.Gatsby : November 10th, 2019-10:44
What an electrifying watch. All that gold and black glossiness and the pattern on the dial really makes this watch feel so rich. When I look at it I think of Egyptians and Pharaohs. This watch is befitting of a king 👑
Spectacular!

Big congrats and I am so glad to see RR finding great success.
Fortune favors the brave....
By: Jay (Eire) : November 10th, 2019-12:51
I think many of us waited a little to much on this one and then once the momentum built, poof, all watches fully allocated. Four years ago a no forum watch connection told me to “watch this space”. I took a look at the AK something or other (don’t recall ...
I was probably only a millisecond
By: ant : November 10th, 2019-13:19
in front of you! It's definitely a special watch. I agree with you about the other Akrivia pieces, just a little too extreme for me and miles beyond what I can afford. My true preference would have been RG/cream dial or WG(platinum)/blue dial....and we no...
Thank you my friend
By: ant : November 10th, 2019-13:22
I wouldn't call me blessed. Just a risk taker, who knew how it would all turn out? I happened to get lucky. You of all people know how many times I've been wrong. When you're in London I'd be delighted to show it to you. Kind regards, Antony
I think this is your best purchase
By: sham1 : November 10th, 2019-17:52
since I have known you!! I will be in London for 19 hours on Friday but will have more time next month and will be in touch then. Hope you are keeping well.
Okay
By: ant : November 10th, 2019-21:41
Actually I'm off on hols on Thursday and back at the end of the month. Let's plan for December. There's a London GTG on the 8th or 9th....interested? Kindest regards, Antony
My schedule
By: sham1 : November 11th, 2019-00:57
I shall be there from 17 to 23 inclusive and will visit my purist friends in Paris on the 19th if they are free.

Like you said, this talent young entrepreneur has a bright future. I had the chance to visit his "office" in Geneva and was just a casual walk by and the corner of my eye caught the working benches. We then started waving through the window and go knock o...
The very best of luck

You just might find one of the fifty six owners who has had second thoughts. Regards Antony
That is something I have yet to do
By: ant : November 10th, 2019-21:28
A quick trip to Geneva sounds like a must. I am sure that you will achieve your dream! Thanks for your reply, ATB Antony
Sure! (nt)

This Chronomètre Contemporain is a pure beauty. I was lucky enough to see it in the metal and it is a piece of art from A to Z. On top of this Chronomètre being a splendid watch, Rexhep is simply a fantastic person to know. He is so talented and humble at...
A perfect summary
By: ant : November 11th, 2019-22:49
of the man and his watch, thank you for your good wishes. I have been wearing it every day since I received it and am sure that it will become one of my favourite regulars. Kind regards, Antony
It was just luck
By: ant : November 16th, 2019-14:18
Thanks, it is a pleasure to wear, and I hope to be wearing it a great deal. HAGWE ATB Antony
