The Swiss watch company Alpina, founded in 1883 by Gottlieb Hauser and based in Geneva, is part of the Frederique Constant group, which, in turn, is also part of the Citizen Group. The company, which celebrated its 140th anniversary in 2023, has become a pioneer in the world of sports, characterized by a spirit of adventure and innovation.
In 1938, the brand pioneered the concept of sports watches by introducing the Alpina 4 model: shock-resistant, antimagnetic, waterproof, and made of stainless steel. These watches combined the four key components of this genre into one model.
From the very beginning of its existence, Alpina has been striving to create luxury sports watches that provide exceptional accuracy and reliability in extreme conditions. Today, this mission is embodied in three different areas: in the air (Starttimer collection), at sea (Seastrong collection) and on land (Alpiner collection). In 2023, they were joined by the Heritage collection, which pays homage to the historical watches of the brand. All these sports watches are distinguished by a harmonious price-quality ratio, as well as thoughtful design and finish.
A prominent line of models is the Extreme collection, which combines modern sharp-edged case designs with integrated bracelets. It offers both automatic and quartz movements with various functions including three-hand, chronograph, GMT, and regulator models.
Alpina has created strong partnerships that reflect its ongoing commitment to the mountain environment, a constant source of inspiration, as well as its team of athletes and other friends of the brand. They are united by a common goal: conquering new heights in the most difficult conditions.
