The Alpina Alpiner Extreme Automatic is at home in the mountains…

The first-ever sports diving watch for Montblanc, the Montblanc 1858 Iced Sea Automatic Date features a glacier pattern dial that gives the impression of looking into the depths of a glacier. This blue glacial pattern dial is inspired by the Mer de Glace - Sea of Ice - the main glacier of the Mont-Blanc Massif. Its texture was achieved using an almost-forgotten ancestral technique called gratté-boisé.

Inaugurated in November 2001, the Patek Philippe Museum in Geneva houses one of the world’s most essential and prestigious horological collections. Two thousand five hundred watches, automata, precious objects and portrait miniatures on enamel invite the visitor on a fabulous voyage through five centuries of Genevan, Swiss and European horological art, and proposing a panoramic view of Patek Philippe’s production since 1839. 

Gearing up to celebrate its 140th anniversary in 2023, Alpina had just relaunched its Extreme collection, which made a strong impression when it was launched in 2009. The robust and sporty spirit remains, with more elegant proportions and a contemporary and original design.
