Unboxing the Akrivia AK-06 & Its Cool Reset to Zero Function

Support us on Patreon for extra interactions and goodies: / thewatchestv
And for today's birthday, I got a pretty sweet watch to unbox from our good neighbour here in the Old Town of Geneva, Akrivia. This watch may seem like a simple 3-hander, but in fact it has a very cool and useful technical feature.
We have often seen stop second watches, meaning that the second hand indeed stops when you pull the crown, but here the thing special is that the second hand will automatically reset to zero while doing so. This technical feat is on top of it clearly visible on the dial side, as all the components required to achieve this are actually there for you to enjoy.
This AK-06 was the first non tourbillon watch of the young and fresh brand founded by talented watchmaker Rexhep Rexhepi and we are for sure looking forward doing some additional video on him and his team.

This dude just balled out SFR 83.000 for his birthday, lmao. Congratulations!

Thanks 👍✌️

[@SamuelCharpentier]

Big fan of Akrivia since the begining! And we can't forget that they got rewarded last year at the GPHG with their Chronomètre Contemporain (RR-01) after only 6 years of existence!! Bright futur for the brand

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

That’s very true, they’ve really done a great job 👍

[@MortezaAlavizadeh]

I love these series and how you start with saying it's your birthday. Brings so much joy to me, Marc Andre. Akrivia is such a fine brand and a very good one considering how young it is, along with its founder of course. Rexhep Rexhepi model to me is the best watch they have created, it is simply sublime.

[@W1NGZER0]

Happy birthday M.A.D. & congrats on a unique and beautiful time piece. Cheers.

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Thanks a lot ✌️

[@michaelverzosa106]

Expertise! Love the work the Rexhepi brothers come up with

[@ConkreteMan]

I've never been a big fan of skeleton dial/open worked watches on the wrist. In pictures they look great, but on the wrist I don't like to see the skin and wrist hair. It's distracting. This watch solves that problem in a very interesting way. Great design and execution.

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Totally understand what you mean by this. It’s a good solution

[@ghostindamachine]

Akrivia, what a gorgeous timepiece! Legibility not so much but craftsmanship seems to be of the highest order!

[@ConkreteMan]

Happy birthday!!

[@DavidDatura]

An interesting dial design, quite steampunk. But a stunningly beautiful movement finish at the back! Reminds me of Laurent Ferrier, only even better it seems.

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Interesting comment, thanks

[@hjones1]

Alors, bon anniversaire Marc. Vous êtes toujours le meilleur.

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Happy Birthday Marc 🎁

[@NUR7IX]

Congratulations! Happy birthday Mark, a great review and unboxing of the chic watch in new style!

[@Kpiotr]

Love that, so much better than full skeletonization that is typically overdone (with few honorable exceptions like the latest Breguet Ultra-Thin). The zero seconds hand reset should be a standard in the HH industry. Surprisingly, it seems that only the fairly underrated Glashütte Original from Germany has perfected it (with not only seconds hand zeroing but also minute hand setting on full minute markers), and Panerai has it spread throughout the collection. Many top brands don't seem to bother with hacking, not to mention zeroing.

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Thanks for this very insightful comment and totally agree with you. Best to you

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Haha, will do 😉👍🙏

[@dhvjdecorationhorlogeredel4794]

Juste sublime !!!

[@hellohello-dp6wg]

Beautiful Watch. But I think the Dial is too busy and it makes it hard to tell the time . The most necessary function of the Watch

[@maskito4256]

I hate that the seconds hand is not perfectly aligned when it’s zeroed out. That would drive me nuts.

[@kaonia]

Viva Akrivia!!

[@alanh8101]

Bone Fête Marc 🎉haha very nice watch very interesting... Cheers Alan H

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Many thanks 🙏

[@ShouldITimeThis]

Happy Birthday! I will admit that the finishing IS excellent on that piece and the shape of the case is very nice, but in terms of dial execution it looks like a mess. There's no flow or continuity to the design of that dial. It looks like parts were dropped on it then hands were added. Just my opinion.

[@rayansailani4465]

Is this also a minute repeater?? If yes would've live to listen to the chime..

[@user-zl2sc3bg3g]

Not it's not, but worth for a future unboxing!!

[@Kairosdex]

How much does it cost? I know for 25 pieces and such exquisite finishing it won't be cheap, still intrigued though.

[@mercifulangel8750]

Really sexy case! Happy Birthday and best wishes!!!

Who makes their movements ?

[@khoadang452]

ak-06 is a nice watch, but i prefer the ak47 personally

It's a great brand but if you this young and your prices start at 50 k !

Trainer kit

[@s_patzz8212]

A work of art no doubt but you can buy a LOT of horological excellence for that money...
