GPHG 2022 | MEN’S WATCH PRIZE

August 2022

At the 2022 Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, Rexhep Rexhepi received the prestigious Men’s Watch Prize for his Chronomètre Contemporain II, marking a significant milestone in ATELIER AKRIVIA and REXHEP REXHEPI's 10th anniversary year. This award stands as a testament to the brand’s exceptional craftsmanship and technical innovation, highlighting the remarkable evolution of REXHEP REXHEPI's timepieces over the past decade. Building on the success of the original Chronomètre Contemporain I, the RRCC II introduces a newly-developed calibre that pushes the boundaries of mechanical watchmaking, blending Rexhep's signature design with cutting-edge technical advancements.

The Chronomètre Contemporain II’s calibre incorporates innovative mechanics that elevate both performance and complexity. Notably, it features two barrels, enhancing power reserve and overall movement stability. The addition of a deadbeat seconds complication ensures greater accuracy, offering a distinct ticking motion that is both visually striking and functionally advantageous. Furthermore, the RRCC II integrates a hacking and zero-reset function, enabling precise time-setting and enhancing the overall user experience. These advancements, three years in the making, demonstrate the independent watchmaker's unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of watchmaking while preserving the artistry and refinement that define REXHEP REXHEPI.

This recognition at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, one of the most prestigious distinctions in the watchmaking industry, reaffirmed REXHEP REXHEPI's position as a leader in contemporary haute horology. The Men’s Watch Prize was not only a celebration of the Chronomètre Contemporain II but also a reflection of its creator's dedication to combining artistic craftsmanship with technical excellence. As the brand continues to evolve, it remains a symbol of precision, innovation, and exceptional artistry in the world of fine watchmaking.
