Horological Meandering

I was thrilled today to be in the Atelier AkriviA, meet Mr. Rexhepi and his team ! I spent almost 3 hours exchanging on watches, movements, Mr. Journe, things happening around the world…He is passionate about his work, very positive and yet humble - he st...  

They create great watches...

What I felt as as difference is that he knows what he want to do in future years in AkriviA and also he knows much clearly don’t want to do.

What a great adventure to share with your son. Now we know the meaning of the brand name and how to pronounce Rexhepi. Thank you for the report.

I have a big one in Apr that will leave my son ready as future Purist & there is no way back ;-)

Thanks for this insight into Rexep and his brand! Julian

They make amazing pieces of mechanical art!

Every person does the watch end to end which is in a way struggle by itself, to have all skill set ! If you’re anytime in Geneva I recommend you visit them - very nice people ! Best, Mahesh.,

Thanks for sharing. Definitely want to pick up an AkriviA piece at some point. Also, re: the pronunciation, there is an interview with Rexhep on Albanian TV that got posted to youtube, which should provide an accurate native pronunciation.

I didn’t know that, I’ll have a look at it !

A very nice idea and a beautiful report and photos of Rexhepi and his creations. Best, Patrickh

watches are addictive & with family on it the pleasure doubles !!

I have to agree that the gold piece with black dial looks amazing. I look forward to here more about your adventure when I see you. Best Christian

Rexhep has a great respect for FPJ & we spoke for long about of him working with Mr Journe himself etc RG piece in flesh changed my impressions from the photos. See you soon ! Best, Mahesh.,

Have a great weekend, dear friend. Best Christian

and the pronouncation help is awesome too

I’m sure you’ll enjoy the watches in person, a lot different feel than the photos. Best, Mahesh.,

I was also happy to be able to visit there atelier a few times . Such talented and very friendly and humble people . Cant wait to meet them again soon . There watches are true pieces of art imho

I think the people are very humble & simple, most probably that is what reflects on the work !!

it is so much painstaking, it needs a lot of patience! Thanks for reading.

for your wonderful report. I'm surprised to hear that the Chronomètre Contemporain is all booked, not because of a lack of desirability, I thought it was a serial production version. Regards, H

both the report and the info, Mahesh. I'm glad you got to share it with your son. Regards, H

Lovely pictures of your visit Mahesh. Also nice to bring your young one so hi can understand why he’s father is so into watches and art. I consider AkriviA as art more than a producer of really nice wrist watches Cheers from Ed

the movement is in deed well finished and architecturally attractive...
