Chronomètre Antimagnétique
Rexhep Rexhepi’s 2023 release under his own name (distinct from the Akrivia-branded Chronomètre Contemporain). The RR-02 caliber sits inside a soft-iron Faraday cage for anti-magnetism, with a hand-finished movement-architecture and the small-seconds at 6 o’clock. 39mm precious-metal cases.

The Chronomètre Antimagnétique is Rexhep Rexhepi's most technically ambitious three-hand watch under his own name: anti-magnetic properties achieved through specific non-ferrous alloy choices in the movement components, combined with his signature movement finishing. It directly confronts the standard Swiss approach of silicon escapements by achieving anti-magnetic performance with traditional materials.

Chronomètre Antimagnétique: anti-magnetic via non-ferrous alloys rather than silicon, Rexhepi hand finishing, most technically complete expression of his three-hand work.
- The case for it:
- Solving anti-magnetic performance without silicon escapements is a philosophical and technical position. Rexhepi is arguing that traditional materials, properly selected and finished, achieve the same result as silicon without abandoning the craft heritage of watchmaking. The argument is correct and the execution is faultless.
- Consider instead if:
- Rexhepi is producing at single-digit annual numbers. Finding a piece on the primary market requires a relationship with the few dealers he works with. Secondary market examples are extremely rare. This is a long-term hunt, not a weekend purchase.
