Manufacture & Hi-Tech Lab
In 2006, Alpina moved to a purpose built, hi-tech
manufacturing plant in Plan-les-Ouates, Geneva, Covering
3200 square meters, this building is now a second home to the dedicated craftsmen and women who produce and
assemble our movements and watches. It is also the base
from which all the other manual and automated processes that are necessary to get your watch to you are performed.
Progress and Independence
The history of watch making in Switzerland can be traced
back hundreds of years, to when dairy farmers used their
downtime in the winter months to assemble precision watches. While the legacy of these initial horological pioneers continues, in that we still manufacture the finest Swiss movements in-house, progress has opened many new technological opportunities. Nowadays, computers, laser-
guided machines, nano technology and state-of-the-art microscopes are all part of the armoury of the truly modern watchmaker. Continuous investments in hi-tech equipment
and the development of new and innovative processes are at the core of Alpina's avant-garde professional sports watch manufacturing operations.
Obsession with quality
What sets an Alpina watch apart from other watches is its
unrivalled quality achieved through our unwavering
dedication to excellence.
We are committed to manufacturing timepieces that are microscopically perfect before they reach you. No short cuts are taken. The efforts put forth in production are supported by meticulous quality control processes that ensure a faultless outcome every time a watch leaves our factory.
All our watchmakers have had extensive training in their
chosen area of expertise, and we employ only those artisans
who have a true passion for watch making. Each Alpina
watch is therefore a labour of love for all concerned in its
creation.
