ALPINA WATCHES

Founded in 1883 by Gottlieb Hauser, Alpina Watches is a Swiss watchmaking brand renowned for its dedication to robust, performance-driven timepieces. Built on a heritage of precision engineering and functional design, Alpina has long focused on watches suited for the challenges of mountain, sea, and air. From its early days as the Alpina Union Horlogère—a network of Swiss workshops united by shared quality standards—the brand established a reputation for reliability and technical innovation that continues to define its identity today.

Sports Legacy

Alpina played a significant role in shaping the concept of the modern sports watch with the introduction of the Alpina 4 in the 1930s. This defining innovation united four essential features in one timepiece: anti-magnetism, anti-shock protection, water resistance, and a stainless-steel case. These principles became the foundation of Alpina’s sports-watch philosophy and remain a reference point in contemporary collections such as the Alpiner line.

Swiss Craft

Today, Alpina operates from Geneva, where traditional watchmaking techniques meet modern manufacturing technologies. Its collections including Alpiner, Seastrong, Startimer, and Heritage—reflect the brand’s commitment to durability, clarity, and exploration. Combining Swiss heritage with practical innovation, Alpina continues to create watches designed for active lifestyles while remaining accessible within the world of mechanical Swiss horology.
