With its new Alpina Alpiner self-winding chronograph watch, the Swiss-based brand finally offers an interesting timekeeper for the kind of customers that are tired of numerous recreations and reissues and just want a watch that would look cool in a room filled with 85-inch 4K TV sets, smart coffeemakers, and modern furniture made of shiny steel and expensive leather. Although in its finish I see numerous references to products made by other watchmakers (like, for example, this 2010 Chronoswiss Pacific Collection), I must admit that all in all the device looks very refined and well-balanced. It is clearly one of their collections that Alpina will never be ashamed with.
