Liam Dunkerbeck - Junior World Champion and new Brand Ambassador
Born on February 11th, 2004 in Gran Canaria, 18-year-old Liam Dunkerbeck is already a Junior World Champion in windsurfing. The son of the 42 times Windsurfing World Champion, Björn Dunkerbeck, the talent was put in the cradle.
Not to be denied, Liam Dunkerbeck sees himself as an "Allround Waterman" - the love for this element having determined his life so far. Already as a young boy, he was fascinated by the water and the sea. This is how the cooperation with the watch manufacturer Alpina came about: the Swiss company is committed to protecting the world's oceans.
Liam wears the Seastrong Diver Gyre Automatic watch, a model that not only brings a breath of fresh air to the diving watch design, but also sparked a huge wave of support for more responsible, eco-friendly watchmaking within the Maison.
