ALPINA x LABEL NOIR
A Special Edition DEFINED BY PURITY AND INNOVATION
The Alpiner Manufacture Date Special Edition is the result of an exclusive collaboration between Alpina and the Geneva-based creative studio Label Noir. Limited to just 130 pieces, this unique timepiece reinterprets the codes of the Alpiner collection with a radical, entirely white aesthetic inspired by fresh mountain snow.
This collaboration also makes no compromises when it comes to movement. It celebrates the return of a Manufacture calibre to Alpina. The newcomer is called AL-706. The plate, barrel bridge, gear bridge and balance bridge are pearl-finished, while Côtes de Genève decoration adorns the automatic movement. Visible through a transparent case back that ensures water resistance to 50 metres, it guarantees a power reserve of 72 hours, the longest for any Alpina model currently in the collection, thanks to an enlarged barrel and a new spring alloy.
LABEL NOIR DESIGN
Contrast, Texture, Character
The collaboration focused on a total reinvention of finishes to translate the sensations of Alpine powder snow.
"I am particularly happy with this collaboration because it offers a completely new and original interpretation of an Alpina model: for the first time at Label Noir, the watch is entirely white, with a hammered case and a grained dial, in perfect harmony with Alpina's alpine world!"
Oliver van Lanschot Hubrecht, Alpina Brand Director.
Dial Innovation:
Immaculate White and Frosted Effect
The finely grained white dial is the heart of this edition, capturing light like a blanket of snow.
◦ Powder Snow Effect: The absence of a flange maximizes the dial opening to amplify the visual power of the frosted texture.
◦ Optimized Readability: The smooth white-painted hands contrast with the irregular grain of the dial for perfect time reading.
◦ Luminous Signature: The hour and minute hands are coated with blue Super-LumiNova®, ensuring optimal visibility once night falls.
◦ Manufacture Details: At 6 o'clock, the pointer date discreetly displays the number 31 in grey, a distinctive sign of Manufacture calibers with a high power reserve.
HAMMERED CASE
& ergonomics
For the first time in Alpina's history, the 41.5 mm case features a hammered bezel and lugs, mimicking the mineral appearance of snow-covered rock.The watch is fitted on a technical white textile strap that is both light and resistant, with a satiny finish reflecting winter light across a snowy landscape.

Voices of the Collaboration
Alon Ben Joseph
(Co-designer
The Real Time Show)
"We wanted to make a watch that stays true to the Alpina and The Real Time Show brand image, but is different enough from what has been done before so that our community has something new to love. I'm really happy with the result and can't wait to see it on the wrists of many members of our community at our upcoming meet-ups in Amsterdam, London, or even further afield."
Oliver van Lanschot Hubrecht
ALPINA BRAND DIRECTOR
"I am especially pleased as we are once again integrating a manufacture movement from our Plan-les-Ouates factory, which hasn't happened for three years. I would like to thank Cédric and his team at Label Noir for this exceptional watch!"
Cédric Turk
CEO LABEL NOIR
"I would like to sincerely thank Oliver and the Alpina team for entrusting us with the creation of the very first full-white Label Noir watch. It has been an exciting and rewarding collaboration, culminating in a truly unique piece"
