Independents

First impressions…Synonymous to the name AkriviA, Rexhep Rexhepi have crafted Chronomètre Contemporain 1 and 2 focused on timekeeping precision. For Onlywatch 2023, Rexhep continues with this tradition and also aims to pay tribute to the historical anti-m...  

Definitely an asperational timepiece for those who desire the very, very best!

this makes it even more inaccessible !

It's my favorite independent, but the pricing and their low production numbers make his watches impossible to get

The dial looks like something you’d see on an Atelier de Chronometrie. Any idea what level of magnetism protection the cage provides? Is this the first hacking-seconds RRCC So many questions about this watch, especially since it’s got the legend/icon’s na... 

Non, it is not first the hacking second. Earlier RRCC were zero-reset and RRCA is the first central seconds he has done (other than a regulator in the Akrivia line) On anti-magnetism, I'm not 100% technically sure on what i'm about to write so i'll confir... 

Thanks for the info. Always appreciate the info

Case reminds me of the Patek 5070. I'm sure the bidding for this watch will go on even longer than its lugs do!

Quite a detailed description with nice photos which are giving a good idea about this exceptional piece ! So many attractive details which are all very exciting (among which that stunning stepped case by Jean-Pierre Hagman 🤪🤪). I guess the dial must be se... 

the stepped case is stunning in deed.

It’s a great looking and practical watch. All the best, Jon

If I may say my personal opinion, 1 of 1 watch is amazing yet pure money game thus IMHO negates everything about sharing this passion.

Probably in different metals and dial color. He took similar approach for the CC1 and 2 for onlywatch.

i think the black enamel - gilt is a classic combo

personally I love the stepped case & as Nico was suggesting, if there is tantalum in future...boy then we're talking ;-)

appreciate your time.

Looking good! This one will go for a lot of money!

One of the best watches I have laid my eyes upon in the last 5 years. The casework is superb, and all details are spot on! Lots of character, innovation, hints to history but not copying anything. This is fantastic

But this watch does absolutely nothing for me. And I fully understand that my opinion is completely irrelevant since it will still achieve eye watering results at auction. The dial is derivative and looks like something that would be churned out by the Ma... 

🤷‍♂️

not all timepieces are meant to be liked by all...else we'll all have the same timepiece on the wrist and that will be damn boring - isn't it ?! of course your comments are valuable as this exactly is how a community like ours should be ! Thanks for chimi... 

if only!

I do confirm no CNC in the atelier unless you've seen something yourselves or really know something. I would refrain from assumptions.

And I'll be the first to admit that.

The movement of course looks spectacular, but the exterior leaves me a bit cold. I do like the idea of an antimagnetic watch, this is at least something more original in the realm of independents. The steel case looks a bit awkward with the long lugs and ... 

Totally with you on this. The gilt (or is it not gilt?) indices on black dial is so….so…overused… really not excited at all by this. Someone also saw a video of this on IG that the seconds hand doesn’t run smooth. Of course with all things mechanical this... 

Based on NUMEROUS collectors that I have spoken to directly. Not every one of their watches is faulty, I know, but it seems like a very significant number are, especially at these low volumes. And their servicing department is abysmal. I hate bringing thi... 

Indeed it should. You did the right thing. But please elaborate on their service department. If this thread is not suitable to further this conversation let’s jump onto pm. Best Gatsby

I think black dial is only for OW2023 but I've no idea if it will be in production version too in future. seconds hand....I couldn't see that in the 'revolutions' release video but better to be checked in person.

From same piece of metal

I really like his openworked designs. I think they do the brand the most justice.

Thanks for sharing Mahesh and I think you know how much love I have the timepieces and people behind Akrivia. I love what they are creating at the moment and can't wait to see the production piece
