Liked them both a lot
GL is very poetic watch, you see the marine theme right away , even without realizing that there is whale tale right on the dial( JK pointer out to me) , the case shape the night sky all create that feel . Absolutely gorgeous. In addition. 100 m water resistance and the strap made of some sort of synthetic material to make it full circle marine watch.
Minute Inerte is an also themed watch, this time in architecture, and you feel it immediately, the brick work, the keystone the case shape are so coherent and artistically done. And the minute inerte, jumping minute is just breathtaking.
Surreal day in Geneva
Met with 3 watchmakers, still can’t not believe it. The one who is just starting the journey, the one who found his way and the one who is a legend. Unforgettable. ...
Now, that is wonderful!
I love the way you describe the three. Enjoy your stay in Geneva! Best, Emmanuel PS: Jean Khatchadourian posted his watch not long ago on our site.
And that is how discovered him
JK is a very kind guy, XR is a gentle giant, RR is a power house.
You excel at describing the three!
How did you like the Grand Large? And the Minute Inerte?

On the Grand Large, I also like the double sided day/night hour hand: clever and poetic!
I'd also be very interested to see the Minute Inerte in person someday. Thanks for sharing your impressions.
Great experience it was.
The dial is not finished, Alex took us, my daughters and me, for a tour of Akrivia ateliers , the craftsman and craftswomen are extraordinarily talented so skilled I was in awe .
Absolutely, they are Universally Celebrated Enthusiastically, I was wondering about what the processes are that takes it.....
from this unfinished state, as is apparent in your excellent pic, to the unblemished perfect dials we see installed in completed watches.
They polish add layers on top of layers
Then polish again. I believe it was a 4 person team. Amazing people.
I believe Concord said his daughters were there.
Maybe they or someone else is not ready for haute horology yet.
The beauty of this crazy hobby and why i love the indie brands so much .
The personal contact and the approachability of these great watchmakers gives these watches so much more character imho .
