Following the success of its Avalanche Extreme Regulator Collection, and to celebrate the brand’s 125th Anniversary, Alpina is proud to present a brand new Manufacture Calibre, fully designed and developed in-house.

Alpina’s first series of Regulator wristwatches, presented in 2005, are a reminder of the brand’s heritage and fascinating history – albeit with a design that is resolutely fresh and contemporary.

In 2008, Alpina is renewing with its watch making tradition, which has been the cornerstone of the brand revival’s success amongst watch enthusiasts and trade professionals alike, and launches a brand-new manufacture calibre, the AL-950, in a new collection: the Alpina Manufacture Regulator.

Inspired by the past, yet built with today’s design and technical know-how. A stunning and well-balanced timepiece, arguably more “sober” than its big brother, the best-selling Alpina Avalanche Extreme Regulator, which is behind the brand's successful comeback to the forefront of the watch-making scene.



The “Extreme” has been resized - from a stately 48mm to a more respectable 46mm. But brand aficionados, rest assured: The iconic design elements of the “Extreme” remain – along with an even bolder and more elaborate dial design.

The movement is designed and developed entirely in the manufacture's workshops in Geneva, and features an automatic winding mechanism incorporating Alpina’s trademark rotor – a salute to the designers (Straub & Co.) of Alpina's first automatic calibre of 1945, the 582. As with all Alpina's mechanical timepieces, the finely decorated movement is visible through a transparent case back.
