Launched in 2017, this is the renowned AkriviA AK-06 from master watchmaker Rexhep Rexhepi. This watch ventures away from complexity and back to simplicity, with the sole focus being timekeeping and the winding mechanism. As such, it is the first AkriviA watch that does not feature its trademark tourbillon, and lacks even the presence of a regular dial. Instead, we are graced with an openworked dial that showcases all the components behind the power reserve and zero-reset functionality, in beautiful tones of matte steel gray and with a symmetrical construction. The blued steel hands contrast beautifully with the sober dial.<\/p>\n
The AK-06 comes with an astonishing 100-hour power reserve, the indicator of which – a rotating plate – is located at 12 o’clock, the dedicated highlight position in every AkriviA watch. There is also a small seconds counter at 6 o’clock. Though aiming to be a non-complicated watch, upon pulling the crown, the small seconds stop and reset to zero, a much-appreciated feature that is very rarely seen and which allows for a more precise time-setting.<\/p>\n
Inside the 41mm stainless steel case is the manual-winding AK-06 movement, developed, decorated and assembled fully in-house. It is set with 28 jewels as well as a jeweled single barrel. The movement has been meticulously hand-finished through the use of techniques such as black polish, C\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve decorated plates, rhodium treatment, hand engraving and anglage. When observed from the back, the movement bears much similarity to the one fitted in the Rexhep Rexhepi Chronom\u00e8tre Contemporain, a testament to how the newer models out of Atelier AkriviA build upon the brand\u2019s existing legacy.<\/p>\n
This highly coveted watch is limited to only 25 pieces and offered with its complete set. As the last model to bear the AkriviA signature before Rexhep Rexhepi began releasing watches under his own name, the AK-06 represents an important transitional chapter in the atelier\u2019s history.<\/p>\n
