At Banks Lyon we are committed to the provision of some of the finest watches the world has ever seen. Be it through the sheer style and elegance exuded from a carefully crafted piece, or through the precision incorporated throughout the inner workings, nothing can quite create the same degree of finesse that a watch can bring to your style ensemble.
Our Alpina male range offers up a range of fantastic fashion options, from the Alpiner to the Seastrong, however the latest release from Alpina is exclusively for females, in the form of the Alpina Comtesse Collection.
The Alpina Comtesse collection began as early as 1963, although their new line of sporting elegance is as fresh as the Swiss Alpine snow. Perpetually practical, each of the five new watches of the Alpina Comtesse range radiates the tradition associated with pioneering Swiss watchmaking, and while the Comtesse range began in the 1920s, each boast the craftsmanship synonymous with over 130 years’ worth of Alpina knowledge and experience.
Two-Tone
To look at, such a delicate time piece seems incapable of containing such intricacies, but the AL-525 automatic mechanical movement makes this piece understatedly reliable. Suitable for the ever-active individual, this chronograph arrives with up to 10 ATM water-resistance and a durable, yet slight, stainless steel bracelet with a yellow PVD centralised link.
Making you the talk of the social occasion is no challenge with the 59-diamond gold-plated bezel, becoming further complemented by the Alpina red triangle guilloche adorning 11 shimmering applied diamond indexes. The unique yet subtle audacity of this classic looking piece makes it the ultimate partner for any soiree and any outfit.
Stainless Steel
The Stainless Steel Alpina watch boasts all the internal craftsmanship of its Comtesse collection neighbour. A diverse timepiece, it offers a range of three stunning dials – from silver, plain or the aforementioned red triangle guilloché with accompanying applied diamonds indexes – allowing you the flexibility your style can sometimes demand.
Equally boasting the 59 diamond bezel, the Stainless Steel equivalent also showcases a stunning 26 jewels, because your glamour needn’t end at your choice of garments. Also, reflecting the nature of the beautifully open face options, you don’t merely have to settle for the stainless steel bracelet; you are also offered a choice between a grey or white genuine leather strap, in order to best suit your unique chic. And with 38 hour power reserve, you can be sure that your chic will radiate long into the night.
Swiss Watchmaking Heritage
Based in Switzerland, you can be sure that all the knowledge and familiarity of being entrenched by Swiss Alpine chic has been sunk into these timepieces. Equally, the Alpina tradition of constructing intricate and precise mechanical calibres – such as their four in-house movements, the World Time AL-718, the Automatic Regulator AL-950, the Tourbillon AL-980 and the Small Date Automatic AL-710 – have clearly manifested themselves through the application of the AL-525 automatic movement.
So if it’s style, practicality, reliability, flexibility and delicacy that you are yearning for, the Alpina Comtesse Lady’s Collection is absolutely for you, as Alpina prove yet again that they are true to their Swiss watchmaking heritage.
At Banks Lyon, our male Alpina ranges boast an array of enviable, chic and unique features which make them the ultimate dinner partner for the discerning gentleman; so if you would like to speak to one of our friendly horological experts, then please don’t hesitate to contact us on 01524 38 48 58, where we will be eagerly awaiting the opportunity to make you the talk of the party.
