Rexhep Rexhepi: RRCC I vs RRCC II.
Maison Montres compares RRCC I and RRCC II by movement architecture. RRCC I is hand-wound, with one barrel, a stated 100-hour reserve and hacking seconds with zero-reset. RRCC II uses twin barrels and separate going trains, with independently driven dead-beat seconds and an 82-hour reserve. Both have zero-reset; match the generation before comparing an offer.
Akrivia's own pages support the technical comparison below. They do not establish that a watch is available or that Maison Montres has an allocation, maker relationship or transaction record.
What changes from RRCC I to RRCC II?
The official RRCC II page says it can resemble the first edition at a glance while being a wholly new construction. The case, dial, movement and documents should all identify the same generation.
| Question | RRCC I | RRCC II |
|---|---|---|
| Movement | Hand-wound single-barrel construction; the current maker page names the calibre RRCC-01. | All-new hand-wound construction with twin barrels and separate going trains for timekeeping and jumping seconds. |
| Seconds function | Hacking seconds with zero-reset, as stated on the current official RRCC I page. | Independently driven dead-beat seconds with hacking and zero reset. |
| Published reserve | 100 hours. | 82 hours. |
| Case and dial | 38 mm case in red gold or platinum; grand feu enamel dial, with execution-specific details. | 38 mm case in 5N rose gold or platinum; grand feu enamel dial; case bears the JHP hallmark according to the official page. |
| Public award record | Akrivia records the 2018 GPHG Men's Watch Prize. | Akrivia records the 2022 GPHG Men's Watch Prize. |
| Sourcing implication | Confirm first-generation movement, case/dial execution, papers and any chronometry document supplied with that watch. | Confirm second-generation calibre and functions, case/dial pairing, hallmark, papers and service state. |

What should a Rexhep Rexhepi sourcing brief include?
Give Maison Montres the RRCC generation, case and dial required to define a private sourcing brief. If you have a listing, ask us to review an identified candidate. Use the comparison above to check the movement architecture and seconds function; zero-reset alone does not distinguish the generations.
- RRCC I or RRCC II, case metal, dial colour and intended configuration.
- Movement images, case markings, certificate, number and sale history where available.
- Function and timing test, condition, service record and disclosed refinishing.
- Seller authority, inspection rights, budget basis, tax location and transfer route.
Public specifications do not prove market access.
This comparison uses the manufacturer pages linked above, with review dates recorded beside each source. The current RRCC I and RRCC II specifications were checked on 29 October 2026. It makes no claim of a workshop relationship, allocation, named watchmaker contact or previous Maison Montres acquisition.
- The maker's collection page is evidence of specifications, not of an open order book.
- An individual watch must be matched to its movement, case, dial, hallmark and documents.
- No custody, clear-title promise, authentication guarantee or delivery assurance is offered by this guide.
- Any search begins only after role, fee, conflicts, evidence standard and transaction mechanics are set in writing.
Carry the generation into the collection record.
RRCC I and RRCC II FAQ.
What is the main difference between RRCC I and RRCC II?
RRCC I uses a hand-wound single-barrel movement with a stated 100-hour reserve and hacking seconds with zero-reset. RRCC II has twin barrels and separate going trains, independently driven dead-beat seconds and an 82-hour reserve. Both have zero-reset; the movement architecture and seconds display distinguish them.
Does RRCC I have dead-beat seconds and zero reset?
The current official RRCC I page explicitly states hacking seconds with zero-reset. The independently driven dead-beat seconds and twin-train construction are described for RRCC II. Do not use zero-reset alone as evidence that a watch is RRCC II.
How can I distinguish an RRCC II sourcing brief?
State RRCC II, the case metal and dial, and require movement and case evidence. The official page says the 38 mm case is made in platinum or 5N rose gold and bears Jean-Pierre Hagmann's JHP hallmark. Match those details to the certificate and watch.
Can this page confirm a Rexhep Rexhepi allocation?
No. It provides a public technical comparison only. Current ordering or retail availability must be confirmed directly through Akrivia's official channels. Maison Montres claims no allocation or workshop relationship on this page.
