IWC Inge movement
The movement in the 3227 Ingeniuer is about 7.5mm tall and is surrounded by a soft metal core to enhance the watch's antimagnetic properties. This contributes a lot to the 14.5mm height.

By the way the IWC movement is designed and built in-house while the VC uses a wonderful movement made by JLC.
Thanks, Mike.

I would wait for the new Ingenieur with display back ...
... which seems to be a bit thinner than the overly thick Ingenieur. In my opinion, the current Ingenieur model is poorly proportioned, and due to the wide bezel and relatively small crystal diameter, appear much more chunky than it even is. ON the other ...
