Aviation - and Alpina

I realize that I have already written about this one, but some things keep calling to you, and the Alpina Startimer Pilot Heritage is one of those things.

It seems just about everyone has a "pilot" watch, and in fairness they tend to be worthy of the title.  But this one from Alpina is based on a re-discovered watch from the past, faithfully reproduced.  I got to check one of these out first-hand at the Las Vegas shows, and the Startimer Pilot Heritage is THE BUSINESS!  A beautiful hand-wound timekeeper that really measures up to the original.

Alpina's new Startimer

This is a member of Alpina's new Startimer collection -

A Tradition Continues…

With its new Startimer collection, Alpina continues the tradition of supplying fine watches to the world’s aviators. The Startimer line offers pilots the accuracy and dependability they require in the cockpit, along with the sophistication and elegance that are so valued outside of the cockpit. Models such as the automatic chronograph AL-860 and the Manufacture AL-710 combine the clean, classic beauty of Golden Age watch designs with modern, precision engineering and manufacturing.

The world of aviation has changed considerably since the days of the early pioneer pilots. Daredevil pilots and their grease-stained flying togs have been replaced with today’s affluent and sophisticated pilots, flying aircraft that offer levels of safety, comfort and performance of which the early aviators could only have dreamt. But aviators still rely upon accurate and dependable timepieces. That hasn’t changed, and never will.
