The Swiss brand Alpina, whose mission is to craft exceptionally reliable professional sports watches while respecting and applying the "Alpinist Principle" in production, design and technological innovation, was founded in 1883. They are dedicated to producing sports watches that operate with the utmost precision and reliability in the most demanding situations.
Alpina manufactures watches specifically designed and built to withstand extreme natural environments. Their functions, materials and usability are purposely designed to ensure you can carry out your activities normally, whether that is mountaineering, flying, diving or sailing. To meet every quality criterion, before becoming an Alpina watch, each piece must be assembled by hand in their own production facility by a team of highly skilled watchmakers.
The Alpina brand is successful and renowned worldwide for the quality, durability, precision and design of its watches.
- In this year, the company established four core principles for every watch considered a sports watch. A sports watch had to possess the following four characteristics, thereby becoming the backbone of reliable timekeeping.
Testing and evaluation of Alpina models take place during numerous stages of watch production. Every watch is subjected to tests that reflect real-life situations and extreme sports conditions.
Each model is carefully produced in a dust-free, climate-controlled environment, where laboratory technicians use high-quality tools to assemble their masterpieces.
