Alpina has unearthed two 14-piece series of the authentic Caliber 490, released exactly 85 years ago; only a very few of these are still in existence. The fully-restored movements, dubbed Heritage Carr\u00e9e Mechanical 140 Years, have been housed in a rectangular silver case in tribute to an outstanding wristwatch in Alpina\u2019s history. One series features a black dial, the other a silvered dial. The feeling when you behold a perfectly-finished, rectangular shaped movement with a sedate frequency (2,5 Hz), already fitted out with early levels of protection against water and dust, is indescribable. These are two highly limited editions, produced for History.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

A highly accomplished movement<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you don\u2019t know where you\u2019ve come from, you don\u2019t know where you\u2019re going\u201d<\/em> is a saying that applies to most art forms\u2013and all the more so in watchmaking, where progress has involved a process of accretion over a period of 250 years that continues to inform the watches we wear today.<\/p>\n

In its 140th anniversary year, Alpina has thus sought to provide a reminder of the contribution made by its caliber 490 movement to contemporary watchmaking. It represents something of a crossroads: a shape and top-level finishing typical of the refined elegance befitting distinguished watches, intersecting with a number of innovations bearing witness to Alpina\u2019s concomitant desire to launch into the world of sturdy and robust watches designed by the firm today. In sum, it\u2019s a rare and valuable caliber, unveiled at a key moment in Alpina\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Back in 1938, the caliber 490 already embodied Alpina\u2019s emerging vision. It features a patented crown incorporating protection against dust \u2013 an key milestone, already making the case airtight and a first step on the way to the watertight case that would later become standard.<\/p>\n

The movement, protected by Swiss registered patent no. 158882, is characterized by a simple, robust construction but no less perfectly finished for that: all of its components are beveled, and the ratchet is sun-brushed. It\u2019s also worth noting that this is a genuine in-house caliber, designed, assembled and finished by one of the firms in the Union Horlog\u00e8re, Alpina\u2019s original entity \u2013 a particularity seldom seen in the 1930s when generic \u00e9bauches (movement-blanks) were the market norm and manufacture movements the exception.<\/p>\n

Only a few period examples of this historic caliber have survived; Alpina has found and restored a small number of them to mark its 140th anniversary celebrations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

An\u00a0 avant-garde construction<\/strong><\/p>\n

This exceptionally rare witness to Alpina\u2019s golden age is thus making a comeback in its original form in 2023. It\u2019s a shaped movement in the finest watchmaking tradition, according to which the movement should reign supreme, dictating the shape of the case rather than the other way around.<\/p>\n

Hand-wound like almost all calibers of its day, it comprises 17 jewels and oscillates at 18,000 vibrations per hour (2,5 Hz), the standard frequency for Thirties timepieces. Its 42-hour power reserve is notably capacious for its time; another distinctive feature is the slender anchor design required to fit within the rectangular layout of the caliber 490.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

A highly robust case<\/strong><\/p>\n

Back in the day, the case was made from steel or gold depending on the model. One steel case was itself protected by a patent (No. 207378) and described as being \u2018stainless\u2019, offering further evidence of Alpina\u2019s obsession with making its timepieces resistant to wear and tear.<\/p>\n

The few such cases that have survived are equipped with a number of components designed to maintain two seals under pressure to achieve some degree of water tightness. Several firms went on to draw inspiration from the patent in question in pursuit of the same goal.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>

Clad in silver<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, Alpina has designed a new bespoke case to house its caliber 490, naming the new model after it: Heritage Carr\u00e9e Mechanical 140 Years. Made from mirror polished silver, it measures 29.5 x 35.7mm. With a thickness of just 9.71 millimeters, it features an antiglare sapphire crystal on both front and rear, through which the venerable beauty of the period caliber 490 can be admired. The timepiece comes on a light brown ostrich leather strap, with vintage white stitching and pin buckle.<\/p>\n

Two variations of the piece are available, each in a limited edition of 14. Both feature Alpina\u2019s period logo, two slim central hands and the small seconds hand display at 6 o\u2019clock so typical of the 1930s. A \u2018rail track\u2019 minute circle, also typical of the period, runs around the dial. On one version the dial is black with solid Arabic numerals, accompanied by beige hands and a circular small seconds hand display. The other version sports a silvered dial, black hands and the squarer outline Arabic numerals favored in the Roaring Twenties, along with a square small seconds hand display.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>
