Special shout-out to Mohannad... while on our quest to attaining Akrivia glory here are some pics... A very kind owner (don’t know who you are but thank you, sincerely) allowed the boutique to show case his watch specifically to me. I was so excited I for...

I took the plunge during the start of the year... just found the uniqueness of this watch to be very appealing

I requested the hour hand to be like the minute hand (no circle )

I met the master and his team last year. What a pleasure that was!

The hands are a concern of mine as well...

...I tried on a hammered silver dial watch (tourbillon? can't remember) and legibility was excellent.

There’s a lot going on for the AK-06

when it comes to the dial....hence the concerns about legibility

Amazing watch!

Does anyone know the lug to lug length of this piece?

Hey buddy good to see you here

 
 By: Mr.Gatsby : November 6th, 2020-09:23
From extremity to extremity I believe less than 48mm. It is actually very wearable. Tends to appear larger on the wrist in photos. Doesn’t help that I have “chicken” wrists.

You’re not alone... [nt]

My friend!

Mahesh when you say frost finish

You mean the hammered finish right ? The photo you showed seems to have a dial that is smooth

i did mix up the wordings...sorry

 
 By: mahesh : November 5th, 2020-22:40
the hammer dial is highly reflective to different light conditions & it is hand hammered - so more artisanal. on the other hand, the smooth matt finish dial is hand polished to get this finish & that brings high legibility too. It is complete dial with sa... 

Got it Mahesh :-)

 
 By: Mr.Gatsby : November 6th, 2020-09:22
Agreed the smooth matt finish dial has greater legibility. But I am smitten by the other dial which has two finishings, hand hammering and perlage. Makes the dial side of the watch very organic and alive. I will be asking for entirely blued hands, as the ... 

Sir more pics please

I tried on a hammered and a smooth version of the steel/grey dial last year @ Watchtime. I thought the smooth dial (non hammered) had better contrast with the grey dial. I ended up ordering the gold/titanium last November, it will be arriving in Dec.

Congrats sir.../
