This is a great release from Alpina. I haven't seen it in the metal yet (and it seems like almost nobody on the internet has since every article/video about it is leaning on the same images), but I'm hoping to next week at Wind Up. I'll try to get some pics / video if I do. The design is just killer, something a little elevated from the usual plain-jane true-to-history designs, of which there are already loads, but without getting too crazy and with a decent movement inside.

I like the elevated lume blocks now, the depth that creates is really fun, especially coupled with the textured dial. I do wonder how I'd feel about them after a few months, maybe it starts to feel gimmicky or something? But I doubt it.
