Edition Pignons

A Legacy of Precision

The Edition Pignons in Glacier Silver marks a tribute to ALPA’s roots in the watchmaking industry and the art of uncompromising image-making. Crafted in strictly limited numbers, this set combines timeless design with contemporary performance, created for photographers who appreciate rarity as much as refinement.

THE EDITION MODELS

The Edition Pignons Lenses.

Within the Edition Pignons we offer a separately available limited selection of lenses adjusted to the unique appearance of the camera bodies.

The ALPA Edition Pignons color Glacier Silver draws inspiration from the Glaciers of the Swiss Alps, when melting ice reflects the light like liquid silver. More than a change of color, achieving this finish required reengineering every mechanical component to maintain our exacting tolerances down to a precision of 1/200th of a millimeter. This rare spectacle embodies timeless elegance, alpine resilience, and the uncompromising craftsmanship that defines Switzerland’s soul.

The Edition Box

The experience begins before the first shutter click: The handcrafted Edition Pignons box is a statement of aesthetic intent.

Made in Switzerland from premium, sustainable materials like cardboard and soft felt, it protects and inspires. Each design pays homage to its intended field of use: The STC box features topographic contours. A subtle nod to its natural habitat in landscape photography. In contrast, the SWA box reflects architectural geometry, echoing the structured lines of built environments.

Camera and accessories rest within three trays within the box. Unboxing becomes an act of discovery.
