Yes, yes, another Alpina… But another chronograph! And you know how rare these are in this condition, so I won't be able to keep up this supply forever. Once this one is sold, there will be only two other known examples out there in the wild with this particular case.
But meet the Alpina 943 Early "Cylindrical", a fascinating chronograph from the late 1930s, featuring a rather delicate-looking cylindrical case that's actually surprisingly sturdy in its construction, complete with those incredibly rare, tiny pump pushers.
Alpina chronographs from the 1930s and 1940s have fascinated me for years. Produced during a time when chronographs were still very much precision instruments, these watches combined technical sophistication with some of the most beautiful dial designs of the era.
And just look at that dial! A gorgeous, lume-free glossy black dial with golden details and elegant leaf hands. With balanced proportions and an incredible contrast between black and gold. True chronograph elegance.
A stunning reminder of just how good Alpina was at making chronographs back in the day. And while I might be slightly biased, I genuinely believe these are among the finest chronographs of their era.
And now, here's your chance to own one!
