ALFEX Pazzola Giant Alarm

[Ernie Romers]

For its 60th anniversary, Alfex has enhanced its Bernhard Russi collection with a creation that is as original as it is unusual. For the first time, a mechanical watch alarm function is activated by a disc integrated into the movement and positioned behind the dial. Produced in a limited series of 600 pieces, the remarkable “Giant Alarm” timepiece has opened up new horizons for the Swiss-Italian watchmaker in technology and design research. With its extravagant Marcus Eilinger design, this model is poised to become an icon.
