Alsta
RevivedAlsta is a revived heritage watch brand based in Scotland, known for vintage-inspired mechanical tool and dive watches.
Alsta traces its history to Joseph Alstater and Alstater Watch Corporation in New York after the Second World War. The original brand used Swiss movements, sold Alsta Creations watches in the United States, and continued through Star Watch Company until the late 1970s before closing in 1982. Glasgow-based Angus MacFadyen rebuilt the rights and revived Alsta, releasing the first modern watch in 2017. Current watches are designed in the UK and made in Switzerland.
