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...
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!
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 rega...
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.
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...
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
Watchmaker is still young and already the results are impressive. Sold out allotment of watches and great auction result. Suspect we are on the cusp of a legend in the making.
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...
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 ...
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 👑
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 ...
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...
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
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.
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

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...
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...
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
