always found that name to be funny
al-pee-na, al-pee-ner
Why?
Alpina is a common name in the German speaking regions. It refers to the alps mountains.
For the watch brand "Alpinisten" is the most important derision. It refers to climbers and sporters who climb the all mountain in both summer and winter. And they use it often in their marketing.
