The Alpina Alpiner Extreme Automatic is at home in the mountains…

For the winter edition of WorldTempus on Tour, in Zermatt, Switzerland, watches experience an icy via ferrata.

For the second edition of WorldTempus on Tour, a concept in which WorldTempus and the Fine Watch Club, along with its Platinum members, travel to various regions to create exclusive content for a week. The editorial team set down in Zermatt - in the Swiss Alps - alongside the privileged members of the Fine Watch Club. 

From the crowned heads to the most illustrious artists, from Napoleon I to Queen Victoria, not forgetting Marcel Proust and Henri Matisse, the great and the good of the world have chosen L. LEROY for the excellence of its know-how. From 1785 to the present day, the watchmaking company has always endeavoured to create timepieces with cutting-edge mechanics and a design carefully anchored in its time.

Both faithful to its tradition of automata and the new strategy of its CEO Alain Delamuraz, Jaquet Droz has created a series of 23 unique pieces featuring the universe of the Rolling Stones. One for each of the 23 albums recorded since 1971. The legendary rock band has released a series of albums whose instruments, stage and cover are reproduced in a one-off automaton for the first time.
