Geneva-based AkriviA is one of the more recently established independent haute horlogerie brands with a foundation that goes back to the now defunct innovative BNB Conceptmovement maker and designer. Being an independent in the world of modern watch making means the brand in question is not related to luxury groups or major watch manufactures. While there are a number of trade-offs to be made - such as lack of vast financial and technological resources - one of the major advantages is that their engineers, designers, and watchmakers are not bound by the strict and heavily moderated design philosophies that exist at larger more established brands.
AkriviA currently uses a modified complex movement from BNB Concept that you may recognize. They decorated it to their own standards and created their own - and rather unique - dial and case-design. The result is their first offering, the straightforwardly called Tourbillon Monopusher Chronograph, which they presented to us in November 2013 in London at the fine watch exhibitionSalonQP.
