Connecting with the Alpina Horological Smartwatch
A small independent company prior to its acquisition by Frédérique Constant Group in 2002, the Alpina brand took the world by surprise in 2015 when it launched (along with its sister brand Frédérique Constant) the first Swiss Made connected watch -- the Alpina Horological Smartwatch. Unlike other connected watches with large and uninteresting black dials, the Alpina Horological Smartwatch boasts the classic dial of a beautiful Swiss sports watch. Cleverly conceived, the timepiece is connected by Bluetooth to the owner’s portable telephone, transferring data in both directions thanks to an independent technological platform developed in Switzerland, home of the most highly protected personal data in the world. A choice of around twenty very attractive models, each with an autonomy of two years, is proposed for men and ladies.
