alpina<br />
alpina was founded in 1883 and officially registered as a trademark in 1901. Soon thereafter the company zeroed in on four characteristics that<br />
would define its watches going forward: anti-magnetism, water-resistance, an anti-shock system and stainless steel cases. Today it reads as the<br />
perfect recipe for sport watches. new owners took over in 2002, and alpina continues to make proprietary movements and the sport watches it<br />
rose to fame developing, now for both men and women.<br />
ColleCtion HigHligHt<br />
The latest in the Extreme series, the 48mm Extreme Tourbillon regulator manufacture, features the brand new, in-house automatic manufac-<br />
ture Tourbillon regulator movement, which took three years to research and develop, and contains such unique features as a silicium escape-<br />
ment wheel and a silicium lever. In keeping with its sporty nature, the case is made of titanium, a departure from the classic stainless steel, with<br />
a black ceramic bezel and a matte black dial that holds double-digit indices ($45,500).<br />
