The Art of Precision: Favre Leuba Elevates the Chief Tourbillon with a Hand-Guilloché Dial
Alpina Alpiner Extreme Automatic
The latest addition to the Alpiner Extreme Automatic family features an exclusive new blue devised especially for this model. Harking back to the roots of the Alpiner, this radiant glacier hue with just the right balance of blue and light grey instantly calls the mountains to mind. Housed in a compact, cushion-shaped 39×40.5mm steel case, the timepiece asserts a subtle and discreetly sporty elegance. Its beating heart is the self-winding AL-525 calibre boasting a 38-hour power reserve. Decorated with the triangular Alpine summit motif, the dial displays the date at 3 o’clock and sports three hands.
Alpina’s iconic Alpiner Extreme Automatic collection is now acclaimed for the distinctive features that make it a timepiece apart, not least its characteristic shape. The compactly dimensioned case used here combines the perfection of a circle and the assertiveness of the cushion case format: a square with slightly rounded corners and graceful, gently curved edges.
