Double Akrivia = Double Precision!!! Hour Minute and AK-06

Akrivia means precision and I was inspired by Watchonthewrist and mdg to create this post. I realized that I never posted the two here, together. Well, where do I begin?!?!? I will try to be brief. I saw the Hour Minute and my jaw dropped! It is simply a gorgeous piece. It’s 43mm, but it doesn’t feel like it. I love the way it sits on my wrist. The hand-hammered dial you all are familiar with. The finishing is...well it’s Rexhep although I could see his improvement on the AK-06. That being said, the finishing on the steel carriage of the tourbillon is eye-catching. The movement is not in-house as it is originally a BNB-MHC movement that is modified by Akrivia and Rexhep once worked at BNB. I can continue to rave about this piece, but I would likely be telling you much of what you already know.

Now, the AK-06...must I say anymore? It is slightly smaller (41mm and height is 3mm shorter) and it’s fit is perfect! You can see this in the photos as I tried to give you an idea. As far as the finishing, I can see a slight increase in the level of finishing versus the Hour Minute—taking nothing away from the HM. These pieces are what makes this hobby of ours so great! I just missed the original Chronometre Contemporain and that would have completed an awesome trifecta. Enough talk—here are the photographs!

...but it looks better on Annabelle It was extremely comfortable on my 7.25" wrist... ...

Yes, the Regulateur. That’s a great piece as well. As you mentioned, for the size of the watch, it fits wells and you don’t “feel” the size.

I don't remember the metal...

...could it have been titanium? It was either really light or super-balanced...

I believe titanium may have been an option for the Regulateur. Most were stainless.

wow...great pair !

By: mahesh : November 21st, 2021-16:21

congratulations sir & enjoy it in your best health !! the tourbillon is a cool one, the case design actually brings great level of movement depth to the tourbillon cage when seen in metal. AK06, no doubt is a star in its own right...it shares the same...

Thanks Mahesh! You are right about the tourbillon and the case design. Honestly, I stare at the polishing and the finishing of the cage more so that the hand hammered dial.

never thought that I'd write this sentence, but "it has turned out to be an Akrivia-heavy day on WPS".

That is a lovely pair of AK's. Wear them in good health.

That’s so true! You don’t see them as much, but they are lurking and Rexhep is certainly occupying the top spot on my radar

Let me join this party with an archive pic I took a couple of years ago

Hopefully soon I can also share my AK06 ...

Thanks Mohanad! That is certainly a popular piece. I do hope you get yours soon. You are going to love it! I have every confidence!

Its hard to find the right words when seeing these two stunning masterpieces together my friend .

By: Watchonthewrist : November 21st, 2021-17:40

Both absolutely stunning imho. The tourbillon is ofcourse next level but the AK06 is also amazing and a true piece of art . Please share more from these amazing watches when possible. And i would love to do a wrist shot together when possible one day 🙏🏻🤗 ...

I am grateful and appreciative so don’t take this the wrong way, but having your CC would be the icing on the cake. I hesitated and it cost me! Thank you for your input on the AK-06. We certainly must do a wrist shot! May have to include the 1941 as well!

By: Obeezy : November 21st, 2021-19:03

That would be some epic pics 🤗

By: Watchonthewrist : November 21st, 2021-20:04

I was also lucky with the CC as i also first hesitated to get one but after a good weekend thinking about it i went for it . Maybe you will get the chance with the CC2. (If you can please do it 😉) will be a amazing watch too 👌🏻😘

Thanks for the encouragement! We’ll see what happens with the CC2. Early hints are making me wonder.

By: Obeezy : November 22nd, 2021-00:02

Double WOW!! These 2 are sensational. I really want to try on the AK 06 as that is the one I am drawn to the most. Congrats on owning these 2 incredible pieces 👏
