A throwback to its 2003 predecessor, the Alpiner Regulator Automatic is equipped with a manufacture AL-650 movement. The 45mm stainless steel case features Geneva Stripes on its dial that are specific to the collection. The watch is completed by satin-finished indexes and hands that refine its look and offers a smooth black leather strap with red stitching.
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.
