AKRIVIA


I had the pleasure thanks too RDJ to attend this years GPHG and see the talented Rexhep Rexhepi and his brother and amazing team win there well deserved price .
Imho its the best watch release from 2018 .



That movement its pure art . The symmetry and finishing is stunning


Thanks to my friend Chris from Esperluxe i had the honor to spend most of my day before the GPHG at Akrivia HQ .

despite it was a big day for the Akrivia team they took all the time to give me and RDJ a tour through there workshop and explain what his future plans are for it.











Seeing the masterwatchmaker at work



Rexhep and Chris even took us out for a great lunch.






A huge Congrats to Rexhep and his team . Cant wait to see what they will show us in the near future

Does anyone know if it is possible to order a rexhepi? I am in Australia and obviously visiting the geneva studio is not a possibility Thanks Julian

Dear julian ,

As far as i know there all sold out . There is a long waiting list too , you can allways try and contact Akrivia and ask if there is still one for sale somewhere .

I hope you are lucky 🙏🏻 [nt]

It might be first on my list of independents...

...but I would have to have the dial re-worked a bit.

There is no bespoke option yet for the RR .

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : November 11th, 2018-00:23
Maybe in the future with a other model . For sure with there AK line you can change the dail .

Thank you for the great post my friend!

If you see the differents between the Basel watch and the pre production one you will even more be blown away . The level of finishing and small changes he made , this watch is on a other level now 👌🏻

Rexhep is just adding more problems for me

I have the Gronefeld Remontoire and a bespoke Voutilainen on my hit list and really cannot afford that gorgeous Chronometre Contemporain too!!! HELP!!!!

I know excectly how you feel my friend 😬

I even need a Vianney Halter too as a extra on your list

When I saw the new classic by Vianney

I immediately started corresponding with him but I have to confess it it a bit too niche for me and just right for you my friend!!

Having seen the proto, the CC is incredible

I hope i get the chance to visit the manufacture this coming January!

Nice Rahul

Will you be at the SIHH in January? I hope to be there too

Hopefully!

 
 By: RahulR : November 11th, 2018-08:45
I am likely to have a conference at Val d'Isere (2 hours drive from Geneva it seems). So I will be flying in and out of Geneva. The timing matches SIHH, so I may be able to catch the last day or two. If i do go, I will definitely be setting up appointment... 

Sounds like you will be super busy in Geneva Rahul

 
 By: sham1 : November 11th, 2018-09:39
I am likely to be there for one or two days max. But I must get in touch with Rexhep to ask if he can fit me in for a visit sometime. Will catch you in Singapore I am sure unless we are at the SIHH at the same time.

It sure is amazing what they do . The whole team is still young but very skilled

Again thanks for eveything my friend .

Always a pleasure seeing you my friend 🙏🏽😊
