AK-02 Tourbillon Hour Minute watch with grey hand hammered dial by Rexhep Rexhepi Akrivia

Tourbillon Heure Minute

The second watch launched by ATELIER AKRIVIA, the AK-02 exemplifies finesse, balance, and elegance. A tribute to the finest traditions of watchmaking, this timepiece was brought to life by Rexhep Rexhepi’s creative ingenuity in developing a complicated watch with a minimalist face. With an impeccable balance of design and functionality, the dial showcases hours, minutes, and seconds with the 60-second rotation of the tourbillon. Each example features a dial handcrafted with artisanal techniques. Available in stainless steel, gold, titanium, or platinum, the AK-02 continues to capture the essence of ATELIER AKRIVIA’s haute horlogerie.

Masterful Movement

The manually wound movement at the heart of the AK-02 is a feat of technical prowess. With a power reserve of 100-hour and a frequency of 21,600 vph, the tourbillon is both visually compelling and precise. Made up of 63 components, the movement boasts stunning hand-finished details, from black polish and Côtes de Genève to hand-grained surfaces and inward angles along the anglage. Every aspect of the mechanism is a reflection of ATELIER AKRIVIA’s dedication to excellence, bringing a perfect blend of tradition and innovation.
