In 1970, Hans and Hannie Frie (yes, the parents of our current CEO, Alain) established the company, Alma, in which during that time the clock industry was highlighted by beautiful hand-made mechanical clocks. [...] Now trading in more 60 countries and our own offices spanning the globe, our design led clocks and our 40 years of manufacturing experience will continue to significantly contribute to the clock industry.

The test card was designed by Finn Hendil for Philips in Copenhagen, about 40 years ago. Many countries all over the world bought the test card and the image became an icon, and is now used on many different design objects. Fritz Vink was very much inspired by the test card and created the first Testpage clock for NeXtime in 2005.
