One day in Basel – Part 5: Alpina, Chronoswiss, Vulcain, Eterna

Apr 12, 2014,13:50 PM
 

 



 

Moving to the upper floor of the main exhibition hall, where some of the lesser smaller brands are located.

 

 

Tutima, Glashuette.







 Frederique Constant – a nice moon phase with a very  clean dial.

 



An attractive pilot style watch from Alpina, the sister brand of Frederique Constant. It is called. Startimer Pilot Manufacture.




Display with old Alpina watches.

 

Eberhard



Same as in 2013, Eberhard attracts with  a historic Alfa Romeo from the Alfa Romeo Musuem. They must have good relations  Alfa 33 Protoype from 1967. Cool, isn’t it?

 



Sorry, this is a bit off topic…but I got really fascinated by the Alfa…so that I forgot to take pictures of the watch that it is advertised behind the car.



 Ok, here we go: Eberhard Contograph (photo from Eberhard website)

 

Chronoswiss.




This blue enamel dial on guilloche is captivating.



Chronoswiss Chronomaster. Not my cup of tea.



Chronomaster Timemaster. Looks much better, IMO.

 



Spectacular enamel dials at Vulcain.



Vulcain Cricket with enamel painting

Finally, I am visiting Eterna, which is back at the Baselworld. New management, new booth, interesting display of historic Eterna watches. (I will do a separate post)

 



Eterna Kontiki.

 



Impressive display of Eterna inhouse movements. (sorry for the bad picture)

 

 

 

 




Eterna Super Kontiki 1973. How about a re-edition of this interesting piece?

 

END OF PART 5  AND END OF THE SERIES OF POSTS

thanks for your kind comment Damjan. a few more pictures of the Alfa 33 Stradale. Apparently this is the car that served as inspiration to the new Alfa 4C. Best Stefan ...

Alfa has always been Queen of cars Bodywork is certainly inspiration not only for 4C Funny thing is that it looks like the name was inspiration for name of the model from 80ies that was turning point, sadly down, for Alfa Sincerely yours Damjan
