Alpina - Extreme Automatic - Regulator
Colour: Default Title
Size: OS
A flagship model launched in 2005, the Alpiner Extreme Regulator Automatic is making its comeback today in the Alpina collection, in a new light. A powerful creation with separate display of the hours, minutes, and seconds, it is set inside a heavy-duty case able to withstand the most extreme conditions, as its name indicates, illustrating the brand’s mission par excellence. In 2022, the Alpiner Extreme Regulator Automatic has new lines and for the first time comes in an ultra-compact 41mm size. Its finely sculpted dial gives it a more assertive look, with as many watchmaking thrills as emotions.
Priority to accuracy
Regulators as such, are atypical in the watchmaking landscape. They offer a differentiated view of each of their indications. Unlike the minutes, the hours and seconds are not central but separate: the hours at 10 o’clock, the seconds at 6 o’clock. This display was initially designed to offered greater reading accuracy, with no possible risk of confusion – especially when the hands overlay each other, once an hour.
Regulators were moreover adopted as a priority by railway inspectors, in order to guarantee the accuracy of departures and arrivals when the first long-distance trains began to cross several time zones.
