ALPINA

THE ORIGINAL SWISS SPORT WATCH

ALPINE SPORTS WATCH MANUFACTURING - SINCE 1883 Alpina, famous for its red triangle signature, is an independent, family-owned fine watchmaking manufacture based in Geneva, Switzerland. Founded in 1883, Alpina’s watchmaking history spans more than 130 years. A true pioneer of the Swiss watchmaking industry, Alpina has been the source of numerous innovations, patents, calibers and chronometers. Alpina invented the concept of the sport watch as we know it today, with the birth of its legendary Alpina 4 in 1938.

Faithful to its long tradition of creating mechanical calibers, Alpina manufactures, in its Geneva-based Manufacture, four in-house movements in-house: the Tourbillon AL-980, the World Timer AL-718, the Automatic Regulator AL-950 and the Small Date Automatic AL-710.

Alpina’s mission is to design and engineer luxury sport watches that operate with the greatest precision and reliability possible in the most demanding sporting environments, like the Alps.

THE “ALPINIST“ PHILOSOPHY BE PERSEVERANT THINK INDEPENDENTLY TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS DON’T FORGET YOUR ROOTS

ALPINA MISSION THE LEGACY OF A VISIONARY

Our mission is now and has always been to manufacture extremely reliable professional sports watches, respecting and implementing the “Alpinist Principle� in manufacturing, design and technological innovation.

Our work is deeply inspired by the legacy of our visionary founder, Gottlieb Hauser.

We are committed to producing extremely robust sport watches that perform to the highest precision and with the greatest reliability in the most demanding situations. Alpina manufactures watches specifically engineered and built to withstand extreme natural environments, especially at high altitudes and great depths. Their functions, materials and usability are purposely designed to ensure that you accomplish your climbing, flying, diving or sailing missions.

Innovation, when combined with purpose, becomes progress.

At Alpina, our innovations are exclusively devoted to serve the functional and design needs of those individuals challenging the hardest places on earth. Such as the Alpine summits.

Our customers benefit from continuous technical advances that match the ever-increasing demands of modern sport challenges. Our manufacture is both workshop and hi-tech lab, and Alpina continuously invests in state-of-the-art machinery and processes. Our watch makers use the most modern, high-precision tools available in the world today, and every watch undergoes strict quality control tests and inspection before leaving our factory.

ONE THING WE NEVER CHANGER AND NEVER WILL: OUR INDEPENDENCE

ALPINA MANUFACTURE MANUFACTURE AND HI-TECH LAB In 2006, Alpina moved to a purpose built, hi-tech manufacturing plant in Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva. Covering 3200 square meters, this building is now a second home to the dedicated craftsmen and women who produce and assemble our movements and watches. It is also the base from which all the other manual and automated processes that are necessary to get your watch to you are performed.

PROGRESS AND INDEPENDENCE

The history of watch making in Switzerland can be traced back hundreds of years, to when dairy farmers used their downtime in the winter months to assemble precision watches. While the legacy of these initial horological pioneers continues, in that we still manufacture

the finest Swiss movements inhouse, progress has opened many new technological opportunities.

Nowadays, computers, laser-guided machines, nano technology and state-of-the-art microscopes are all part of the armoury of the truly modern watchmaker. Continuous investments in hi-tech equipment and the development of new and innovative processes are at the core of Alpina’s avant-garde professional sports watch manufacturing operations.

At Alpina, we fully embrace the progress made to date, and today we are leaders in technological development. We are determined to assure continued improvement in the performance, functionality and quality of our watches. our independence.

ALPINA HISTORY

MORE THAN 130 YEARS OF WATCHMAKING LEGACY From the very beginning, as far back as 1883, Alpina has been associated with horological innovation. Whether it was our innovative way of creating an excellent working environment, or through the introduction of new quality control criteria before anyone else, Alpina has always sought ways to improve how things are done.

The story of alpina was originally brought to life when Swiss watch making visionary Gottlieb Hauser founded the “alpina Swiss Watchmakers Corporation,” and in doing so united the leading Swiss independent watchmakers, who became known as the “Alpinists.”

Initially, the Corporation was developed to optimize the manufacturing of movements and timepieces by forming a federating of cooperating manufacturers and

suppliers, but alpina soon started developing and producing inhouse calibres and chronometers.

In 1901, the trademark “alpina” was registered and appeared for the first time on high-end calibres and watches produced by Gottlieb Hauser.

In the 1920s, alpina was already being sold in over 2,000 stores worldwide, an exceptional figure for those days. It is no exaggeration to say that alpina was one of the first leading manufacturers of Swiss watches.

Today, the ideals and innovation upon which alpina was founded are still alive in our Geneva manufacture, where we make professional sport watches to the most exacting horological standards.

ALPINA CALIBERS IN-HOUSE MANUFACTURE CALIBERS During its 130-year history, Alpina has always been a manufacturer of calibres and complications. Among its remarkable 20th century calibres, one can find industry references such as the 877, the “engine” of the “Alpina Techno,” and the handwound 592, one of the sturdiest watch movements of its generation and the one which changed the sports watch forever.

Since our comeback in 2002, we have launched four new Alpina inhouse developed and engineered calibres into the market. With the introduction of the Tourbillon, Regulator, World Timer and Small Date manufacture calibres, Alpina has once again taken its rightful place among the small and select group of independent Swiss watch manufacturers that completely develop and produce their own calibres in-house.
