If you already cracked on the Avalanche Extreme Regulator of Alpina, you have to return account to you which it was not easy to obtain one from them. Indeed, the clock and watch makers who are likely to distribute this model – which celebrates this summer its first birthday are quite simply devilfishes. That it is of Full Black or about the plated model pink gold, the sales exploded.

     With the hit-parade clock and watch maker, it is clear that the Avalanche Extreme Regulator of Alpina is extremely likely to be classified among five large successes of the year, in any case in France. The proof, in addition to the network of traditional distributors, this watch is from now on available in the two temples impossible to circumvent of the Parisian fashion: At Colette and the Scout.

     Actually, all started in April 2006, in Basle, at the time of the great annual appointment of the entire clock making profession. At the time, the whole of the commercial team of Templus (importing of Alpina in France) cracks for this new model… A broad extra size (48mm of diameter), a futuristic design, a good mechanism (bases visible Unitas 6498 through the sapphire bottom: decorated bridges, turned blue screws and treated wheels black DEVELOPING COUNTRY) and use of the “regulator” (see definition in framed below) which adds a key of mystery and a considerable charm to the unit.

     This concept appeared in the middle of the 18th century. It acted at the time of a clock of precision on which the three traditional measuring units, the hour, the minute and the second, occupied of the distinct sites.
The marine chronometers, animated by an arise-engine, presented them also the same provision. If the indications were offset, there was with that a reason of an obvious simplicity: the “slow” needle of the hours was not to harm too a long time the good legibility of the needle of the seconds (small, certainly, but nevertheless essential) when it was positioned in the lower part of the dial.
This is why a specific interior dial was allotted to him, where it was not likely to compete with the other needles. This characteristic also explains the rotation isolated from the needle of the minutes in the middle of the dial.

     Admittedly, first of all, one is disconcerted a little when it is a question of reading the hour: each of the three functions – hours, minutes, and seconds is read indeed on a different meter. But one is accustomed very quickly to this system of which the legibility is accentuated thanks to the generous proportions of the case.
For the model Full Black, the coating black DEVELOPING COUNTRY checkmate increases the hardness of steel and guarantees a scratch resistance.

     Let us specify finally that this sporting tight with 200 meters profits from a quality ratio/quite simply unbeatable price: 1.450 euros for the model steel and 1.800 euros for the model Full Black or “pink gold” if you were not yet completely allured.
     Case Stainless steel treaty black DEVELOPING COUNTRY, diameter 48 mm, freezes sapphire, transparent bottom screwed out of sapphire, seal to 200 m (20 ATM), screwed crown, individual number engraved on the bottom, glasses and crown decorated with the triangle, historical symbol of Alpina.
