Akrivia
An independent watchmaker that is simultaneously traditional and contemporary, ATELIER AKRIVIA is inspired - in style, craft, and technique - by the splendid history of watchmaking in Geneva.
The workshop’s origins, on the other hand, are distinctly modern.
The ATELIER AKRIVIA was founded in 2012 by Rexhep Rexhepi, who started as an apprentice at Patek Phillipe aged 15. Rexhep’s time at Geneva’s grandest watch brand has shaped his vision for ATELIER AKRIVIA, which is essentially a disciplined reliance on the artisanal methods widely practised by watchmaker before the Quartz Crisis of the 1970s.
A particular specialty of AKRIVIA is finissage, or movement finishing - perhaps the singular element that elevates watchmaking from mechanical engineering to art.
At the ATELIER AKRIVIA, this is done almost entirely by hand, resulting in movements with an ethereal, metallic glow widely acclaimed as amongst the best in the industry.

The ATELIER AKRIVIA of REXHEP REXHEPI is above all a philosophy where artisanal haute horlogerie blends the heritage of the past with a vision turned towards the future
