Alpina Alpiner Heritage Carrée Automatic 140 Years Review

Following up from Alpina’s ultra-rare 14-piece limited edition which housed a genuine 1930s hand-wound movement, the Alpiner Heritage Carrée Automatic 140 Years thankfully celebrates the Swiss brand’s anniversary with a more accessible approach to those same Art Deco vintage roots. A squarer, more playful alternative to the usual 20s and 30s superstars like the Cartier Tank and Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso, Alpina’s take on the style oozes aesthetic charm and, despite being backed by an in-house automatic movement, offers that charm at a price tag that’s nothing if not competitive.

Love the design.

[@aarev100]

Got my eye on this one

[@dantimber]

Love it! Want one. Any idea what the lug to lug is? It's 39mm long but I think that is only the case.

[@OracleTimeTV]

Correct, the case dimensions are listed at 39mm x 32.5mm, unfortunately we don’t have a precise measurement for how much distance the lugs add on to that. I’m sure the folks at Alpina would be happy to answer your query!

[@holu86]

Unfortunately too big. Alpina should have orientated itself on the original. This version is beautiful, but too bulky.

[@keltecdan]

Totally agree. If it were the same size as the Cartier must tank large then it would be perfect.

just buy a lady watch then

Men with women's wrist 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@tancreddehauteville764]

BS. If anything, it's too small! For a man this watch is already very small - any smaller and it becomes a joke. We are not in 1930!
