Rexhep Rexhepi RRCC I vs RRCC II: a sourcing guide.

Direct answer: RRCC I and RRCC II look related but use different movements. RRCC I has the hand-wound RR-01 calibre, one barrel and a stated 100-hour reserve. RRCC II is a new construction with twin barrels and going trains, independently driven dead-beat seconds, hacking, zero reset and an 82-hour reserve.

— RRCC comparison

Similar architecture, different mechanics.

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.

— Practical brief

Name the generation and required evidence.

An RRCC request should make it impossible to substitute one generation or execution for another. Write the core identity fields into the instruction.

  • 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.
— Evidence and engagement boundary

Public specifications do not prove market access.

This comparison is based on the Akrivia pages linked above and checked on 14 September 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.

RRCC I and RRCC II FAQ.

What is the main difference between RRCC I and RRCC II?

RRCC I uses the hand-wound RR-01 calibre with one barrel and a stated 100-hour reserve. RRCC II is a wholly new movement with twin barrels and going trains, independently driven dead-beat seconds, hacking, zero reset and an 82-hour reserve.

Does RRCC I have dead-beat seconds and zero reset?

The official RRCC I page describes small seconds but does not list the RRCC II system. Akrivia specifically identifies independently driven dead-beat seconds with hacking and zero reset as features of RRCC II's new construction.

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.
