Kari Voutilainen Thinks This Young Watchmaker Is Cool, And You Should Too: Rexhep Rexhepi's AkriviA Tourbillon
What were you doing when you were 14 years old? I was in high school in California, playing lots of soccer and generally getting into trouble. Over in Switzerland, Rexhep Rexhepi was an apprentice at Patek Philippe working on tourbillons. Now he has started his own brand, AkriviA. While AkriviA is young, the brand has already drawn praise. A while back Kari Voutilainen was in NYC for a Q&A event. A question was asked along the lines of, "what young watchmakers are doing interesting things?" Kari's answer was "Rexhep Rexhepi." 1 OF 10 2 OF 10 A few weeks ago I received a press release about a new watch from AkriviA, the Tourbillon Hour Minute. While this watch is really impressive and interesting, the press release was not. Instead of trying to rehash the press release, I interviewed Rexhep Rexhepi over email.

Would you...?
I have a collection that I am happy with, but I often consider trading the Panerai towards a different piece. Since the latest releases at Basel I am considering getting rid of the Pam for the new Black Bay Fifty Eight or finding a older Black Bay Black ETA. However, part of me feels that the Panerai adds a nice change to my collection, but my itch for something new gets pretty strong at times. Before anyone says just keep it and add another I can't do that. I have a rule that one in and one out so I never outgrow my box and also don't cause any ripples with my wife. Also the Explorer, GMT, Tudor and Breitling all have sentimental value so they are permanent fixtures in my collection. The MKII doesn't have enough value to do the trade so it's also not a candidate. So would you do the trade or leave the box as is? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
