Alpina

Alpina

The Alpina watches brand was founded in 1883 by Gottlieb Hauser. It didn’t instantly feature the brand name Alpina; the company began as a watchmakers’ corporation named SUG. Therefore, it will only use this name later to distinguish the most valuable and precise watches produced under the Alpina brand. The brand prides itself on developing Swiss manufacturing at the beginning of the twentieth century.
