Rexhep Rexhepi Chronograph Flyback Prototype No.1
This hands-on report details the Rexhep Rexhepi Chronograph Flyback Prototype No.1, a watch developed entirely in-house in Geneva. The coverage highlights the exceptional finishing, the unique symmetrical chronograph movement, and the striking "Stormy Blue" grand feu enamel dial.
The chronograph's feel is described as slightly light, with a distinct jump when starting and stopping, attributed to wear and tear on the prototype and the use of a lateral clutch, with expectations of resolution in the final production piece.
The dial features a "Stormy Blue" grand feu enamel with gently sloping edges transitioning to grey tinted sapphire discs over the sub-counters.
The movement is noted as being completely symmetrical, a signature of Rexhep Rexhepi, with exceptional finishing on all components, including a virtuoso central bridge in stainless steel and other bridges in maillechort.
The chronograph hand has a bent kink near the end to reduce parallax.
The 38.8mm case felt comfortable on an 180mm wrist due to its elongated and curved lugs.
The production run will offer this dial variant in a platinum case, while the prototype features a stainless steel case.
