Manic Fixie Watches: A Love Letter to Fixed Lug Timepieces
Startimer Pilot Solarmetre
Alpina introduces the Startimer Pilot Solarmetre, bringing its innovative solar technology into the brand’s aviation-inspired collection. Designed with a new 38 mm case, the watch offers more universal proportions while preserving the distinctive Startimer Pilot aesthetic. Its refined construction features bevelled edges, satin-brushed surfaces and polished chamfers, complemented by a choice of black, blue or sand-coloured designs.
At its heart, the Swiss-made Solarmetre movement, developed by La Joux-Perret, converts natural or artificial light into energy, providing up to 10 months of autonomy on a full charge. The translucent dial conceals the solar cells beneath its surface, while luminescent hands and Alpina’s signature triangular logo ensure clear readability. Practical, reliable and innovative, the Startimer Pilot Solarmetre brings a new energy to aviation-inspired watchmaking.
