Alpina, a watch company located in Geneva, Switzerland, was established in 1883 by Gottlieb Hauser, and in 2002, the company was purchased by Peter Stas. At first, Alpina was only a watch manufacturer, then they optimized the production and ended up developing their own calibers. There are 4 movements that this company has launched since 2002, they are Small Date, Regulator, Tourbillon, and World Timer.
This brand specializes in making sports watches for professionals which require 4 main materials: stainless steel, anti-shock properties, anti-magnetic properties, and water resistance. It results in extreme sports watches with robust cases and very accurate movements. It withstands high elevations as well as great depths.
Although they have provided many special traits, this brand did not forget to complete their products with sporty designs that let you feast your eyes on them. Plus, Alpina’s collections ⎯Alpiner, Startimer, Seastrong, and Smartwatches⎯ suit every budget for everyone. The price starts from $500.
So, if you seek affordable luxury timepieces, watches from Alpina are the answer. Unlike the other elegant wristwatches, Alpina can give you the three things ⎯precision, high quality, and toughness⎯ at the same time while other brands usually have to sacrifice one or both of them.
You may wonder how the company makes their watches durable and where they do it. Well, the explanation below will give you the answers.
It has been mentioned that Alpina company is in Geneva, but to be exact, the building is located in Plan-les-Ouates. Here the watches and movements are produced based on Alpina's standards.

Not to forget to mention that even though this company utilizes various hi-tech equipment in the production ⎯of laser machines, computers, and microscopes⎯ the process of putting a watch is done by hand in a dust-free area. All in all, if you are looking for robustness in a wristwatch, then you can rely on the collections of Alpina watches.
