Tradition and innovation Blesq is proud to be able to co-write a chapter of watchmaking history through its partnership with AkriviA. The dynamic AkriviA spirit – unbridled innovative drive and time-honoured perfectionism – is destined to produce the traditions of tomorrow. Their watches are filled with an entirely new energy, while remaining deeply rooted in the watchmaking traditions of the past. This spirit is embodied by the talented young master watchmaker Rexhep Rexhepi.

Rexhep Rexhepi It’s a name that you won’t easily forget – just like his watches. Watches have fascinated Rexhepi ever since he was a child. At the age of 14, he began his watchmaking apprenticeship at the world-famous Patek Philippe, a veritable watchmaking institution in Geneva. By 16, Rexhepi was working in the company’s quality management department, when he first encountered the 10 Day Tourbillon – and immediately fell in love. This formative experience sowed the seeds of his desire to one day launch his own brand with its own Tourbillon collection. In 2012 the young prodigy fulfilled this dream. Rexhepi founded AkriviA when he was just 25 years old. His first Tourbillon collection was an overnight success and it continues to win hearts and minds to this day.

Subtle mechanisms. Intense emotions. Precise, technical, rational: a watch movement. Very few watchmakers can build technology so charged with emotion as Rexhep Rexhepi. His watches have an undeniable presence; they are simultaneously alive and the stuff of legends. The breathtaking movements feature technology that has existed for centuries, yet are completely reinterpreted through the use of pure stainless steel, or encased inside never before seen designs. Rexhepi’s passion for tradition and his hunger for innovation result in an explosive work ethic that has produced some of today’s most exciting watches.
