Jean-Claude Biver (JCB) has a large collection of watches, and more than two years ago, Phillips auctioned four Patek Philippe antique watches in his collection, which won nearly 8 million Swiss francs.
Prior to that auction, Fulness also held an exhibition for some of JCB's collections, and in addition to the four auction marks, there were rare watches from Brands such as Rolex and Patek Philippe, as well as many independent watchmaker watches.
There are Philippe Dufour (PD), the most well-known Simonicity models among independent watchmakers, and the first-generation Chronometer (CCRR I) platinum model made by rexhep Rexhepi (RR), a young man considered "the PD of the future".
PD has been enshrined, simplicity watch price has risen sharply in recent years, the price of the 2021 Fornicus autumn auction has been nearly 5 million yuan; and a year ago for the 20th anniversary of the birth of the Simplicity watch, the last limited 20 pieces of the first piece, but also in the auction to get more than 9 million yuan sky-high price.
RR is a rising star, JCB is very optimistic about this young man, while saying that RR is the future PD, but also said that he saw himself forty years ago.
In fact, RR has been making its own watches since 2012, the brand is called Akrivia, which means "precision" in Greek, and only communicates among a few watch enthusiasts, with a tough shell and an open plate design.
Later, RR launched the CCRR I generation watch, which returned to the classical in terms of disc and shell type, and named it after itself, coupled with excellent movement design and polishing, RRCC I won the Best Men's Watch Award at the 2018 GPHG Awards.
It is also because of the RRCC I generation watch, RR has obtained the blue eye of JCB, which is known as the "living fossil of the watch industry", and his platinum width is a gift he received for his 70th birthday, which is the first in this series of watches, and the case also has the words "THG ❤️ JCB".
THG is an abbreviation for The Hour Glass, Chinese name is Ogis, the largest watch dealer in Singapore. In addition to operating rolex, Patek Philippe and other famous brands, THG also strongly supports independent watchmakers, so JCB, the RRCC I generation watch, is jointly sent by TCG and RR.
However, when the JCB puts PD's Simplicity watch together with RR's RRCC I watch, most people should still prefer Simplicity, perhaps the movement polishing has been comparable, but from the front, or Simplicity is better.
