Manic Fixie Watches: A Love Letter to Fixed Lug Timepieces
Alpiner Extreme Solarmetre × Route du Rhum
Alpina introduces the Alpiner Extreme Solarmetre “Route du Rhum” Edition, a timepiece created to celebrate the legendary transatlantic sailing race and its spirit of endurance. Housed in a compact 37.5 mm steel case, the watch combines Alpina’s distinctive cushion-shaped design with a carbon bezel insert, turquoise detailing on the rehaut and a robust rubber strap. The caseback is engraved with the iconic Route du Rhum course from Saint-Malo to Guadeloupe.
At its heart is Alpina’s Swiss-made solar technology, developed with La Joux-Perret, converting natural or artificial light into energy. With 513 pieces produced, the watch delivers exceptional autonomy and reliability, embodying the adventurous spirit of both Alpina and the Route du Rhum.
