I'm jealous of your neighbourhood, what a beautiful place.

I'ts great to see young people so enthusiastic about watch making but also aware of dificulties and sacrifices ti be made on the way to Stardom! Best wishes to everybody @ Akrivia!

As i mentioned before I love this sort of indepth videos on the craft. I can't thank you enough for giving insight in this. It is very inspiring to know that it is actually possible to make something from scratch. Sometimes you forget this in this hightech world of CNC, lasercut and 3D-print world. And this sort of videos brings one back. Thanks again!!

Thanks Marc, for the great video. I love Akriva watches and Rexhep is a very cool and modest genius. I had several conversations with him in the last two Basel, wonderful and knowledgable guy. Wish him all the best in the future, and I hope someday I will be able to get one of his watches.

I really mean it when I say that you are the best watch channel on youtube. You have great insider access but you still produce excellent unbiased videos, instead of pandering to brands. Keep up the good work.

I love these videos. I’m in Portland Oregon and I’ve never seen the people or machines in real life who are behind the timepieces I admire

Wonderful video (again!). The chronomètre contemporain is one the most beautiful watch ever, and I really admire his approach.

It is really really cool to see today people using those hand operated machine. Don't get me wrong I do appreciate a top of the line 5 axis (or more) CNC machine. There is a time and place for everything. But to see the old machines still in use, that is just amazing. As on operator you really have to develop that fingerspitz gefühle. Today that is rare.

Great video. He’s humble but enthusiastic. What’s cool guy with a great team and shop

Magnificent watchmaking! Rexhep is an upcoming star -- a true watchmaking genius.

Not to take away from the great watch brands that use very high tech cnc machines but I have a deeper appreciation and love for these types of high-end time pieces made the old way w/ lathes and hand tools from the past. Its the reason I love old Pocket Watches from both the U.S and Switzerland w/ such beautiful movements , as Hamilton's cal. 922 & 923 or Cortebert"s 618 which Rolex and Panerai used. Therers so many others!

Excellent as usual mark one of the very best watches made...... Viva Akrivia ❤️

Have heard this name many many times in various watch discussions but it was quite surprising to meet this young gentleman who actually started quite early. And what is interesting is to know about his future vision which I am sure a very positive decision. No matter how many watches Rolex makes every year but the demand of handmade watches will grow more and more over time. Thanks Marc for presenting one of the most valued persons in present watch making and well expecting part 2 with more of his creations.

Love these 'walkthrough' videos...so informative. After watching i'm always left thinking "how lucky you guys are to live in Switzerland".

Oh men how amazing is this video?! Wow this craftmanships is incredible and unique!! I can't wait to see the next video talking about the case! Thank you so much for sharing all this beauty!!!

Thankyou so much for this. This is really what I pictured watchmaking to be. What a great company. And shows why the $ is well deserved.

I absolutely love your walkthroughs and this one is no exception. Great intro too.

Fantastic! Thank you for this

I hope Mr Rexhepi will be able to balance the inevitable growth with doing what he loves. So different from the corporate crap we got used to accept as the basic element of watchmaking. Great video.

Fabulous, not only Mr Rexhepi and his creations but also seeing legendary Mr Hagmann at work. Looking forward to the episode on case making.

Amazing video Marc, always a pleasure to listen to Rexhep

An amazing video! Rexep and his team of young watchmakers are an inspiration.

Amazing such beautiful tools, & great history for incredible instruments of measured time, viva indeed & Encore.

These videos are always so amazing.

What a super video, Nice to see a young company working by hand.

“You can be happy, and if you’re not happy you can restart.” Applies to life in general really.

Wow, I couldn't have imagined something like this existed....thank you.

Very inspiring indeed. I personally enjoyed. I wish Marc and Rexhep all the best.

so awesome!!

Amazing video!!

Sreću vam želim, Najprije Zdravlje vam Želim braćo Akademici... 👍👍👍

Merveilleux ! Et merci !

Akrivia is a Greek word that means precision. I enjoyed this tour and i am really happy to see that there are still people out there keeping this craftsmanship alive and create Art pieces

Consistent home runs on the video content. Rexhep is a cool cat and the watches are immaculate. The symmetry of the CC's movement is just a work of art

Heard your podcast on Scottish watches, excellent and insightful 👍👍

Thank you for sharing

I have so much respect for this guy and I wish this brand the very best for the future. The timepieces are looking unique and high in quality. Thank you for presenting. I like zu see some new faces in this old market

a really great tour!

This video really justifies the reasoning and pricing behind owning an independent piece. Thanks for the walkthrough.

What a great video. Super cool content. Always love your videos. I always watch your channel on the tv and can not comment there. First time to respond here. In November I was in Geneva for the auctions. I saw the guys walking around in the city during to the auctions to meet people, check watches at the viewing days etc and I also passed by their workshop. They are really passionate and they fit in the romantic idea of true craftsmanship. The shop is located in a beautiful part of the city. The whole shop breaths craftmanship. Their watches are really stunning. For me personally it is still out of my league, so I felt a bit shy walking by their shop as a true fan boy. I didn't want to waste their precious time by doing some small talk. For me this is as a good as it gets when you consider independent watchmaking. And these guys are very humble and kind.

Yep you have the great vids.Thank you

Amazing video! Thanks for sharing Marc. Akrivia is the next Journe in my humble opinion.💪

Amazing watches they make. Big future.

16 min flew as one . Thanks for the video!

Great video!

Another excellent and informative video Marc, no travel expenses for this one!

I hit like before video even starts, I know it will be great !

Really really love akrivia although I just learnt about them recently. But I became obsessed with them. I wish to get a piece from them soon 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

what an amazing video!

Loved the walk out walk in

can't wait to part 2

An emerging brand to keep an eye on. 👍

Fascinating video! It seems more of building a work of arte that at the end is a very practical machine .......a watch! A video about the watches of watchmakers might be interesting.

Inspiring workshop!

And this video is why I love watchestv.com !Those dudes making those watches are rockin’ it. Oddly, I am really attracted to the Chronometre Contemporain. I need to visit this atilier. I would love to support Akrivia.

Art!

very very good 👍🏼

I've heard the name Akrivia a few times but now it has meaning! You've really outdone yourself with the last two videos. You're getting close to the real "insides" of the watch industry and taking us along which most channels don't/can't do. Your style is simple and sincere , up close and personal (as they used to say) Do you know where he's from? Albania/Kosovo?

The video is amazing, i have watched it like 10 times (I'm really not kidding). But when will the second episode come about the case making process? Much love

good luck to Akrivia cheers

Top notch content & production... Marc, how about some short interviews with celebrities (preferably women) talking about their favorite watch designs and then show them some designers they may not be aware of...

This is the Chosen One!

This guy is very impressive.

Amazing video. I absolutly adore his way of thinking and his genius. Can you ask him where did he get those lovely posters at 2:59 ? :D

FINALIIIII !!!!

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great video, as with the others, I do love the walkthroughs. Noticed he has a Schaublin lathe, very nice indeed. But it was interesting that he started out sub-contracting his parts to now beginning to make them in house. It's easier to control quality I know and you can usually produce parts cheaper, but I was wondering what his reason was. Cost of machine tools perhaps (because they're so expensive) or is it just a change of principle as he's progressed?

Thank you for these wonderful walkthroughs. This may be a stupid question but... Can you heat-blue a whole watch case? That, I think, would look amazing.

Please Do video about Laurent Ferrier love your chanel it will be great if you show some models thanks a lot VIVA WATCHMAKING

He's getting slimmer... I hope he's okay

What watch are you wearing in this video?

Which country & place it is? So nice and peaceful....😍👌.....😌

How do i purchase a watch?

akrivia can translates as precision in greek

How do you pronounce his brother's name?
