Rexhep Rexhepi's Personal Platinum Chronomètre Contemporain II
This article provides a closer look at a unique platinum Chronomètre Contemporain II owned and worn by watchmaker Rexhep Rexhepi. The watch features a distinctive sage green enamel dial with a textured, micro bead-blasted base, creating a unique depth and contrast.
The dial features a sage green translucent Japanese enamel on a micro bead-blasted plate, giving it a textured, slightly mottled appearance that creates an optical illusion of depth.
The indices are ivory decals applied on top of the textured dial plate, and the green color shifts from dark green to grey depending on the light.
The watch has a platinum case with long lugs inspired by Vichet and designed by Jean-Pierre Hagmann, bearing his JHP initials on the bottom right lug.
Rexhepi's personal watch features gem indices, a detail he has used on other unique pieces and client watches, indicating his personal preference for the feature.
The watch is noted to get significant wrist time, evidenced by wear marks, smudges, and dust.
Rexhepi was seen wearing this watch shortly after winning the Aiguille d'Or at the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève for his Chronographe Flyback, and his attire at the time matched the watch's color palette.
