Horological Meandering

Some of you might have seen me make a reference (on JLC forum) of a new acquisition. Here is a quick view - I am sure that this shot doesn't do the dial justice. This is the IWC Laureus Ingenieur - I have been the happy owner for only a few days now. When...  

A piece that doesn't often appear on the forum (if ever). I like how it hearkens back to one of my favorite models, the IWC ref. 666. The dial is a very pretty blue color. It looks very handsome on you! Cheers, Daos

Please post more pics of this ingenieur, Sancerre. Best, Nicolas.

And thanks for noticing Nicolas. -- Sancerre

Nice watch which - as nico pointed out - is quite true to its roots. The sunburst dial "pattern" and the blue colour is beautiful and was also available in the originals (and also on the Yacht Club which I am happy to own, although mine is silver/champagn... 

It is a wonderful dial - looking forward to trying to catch it on (digital) film. Thanks! --Sancerre

That's a beauty, for sure. Tell us more about this one when you get a chance. And enjoy it! Best, respo

They really all should have the faraday cage. Guess what, this one does not have the transparent back, and doesn't have the iron core. Other than that, I have no complaint - and that isn't a strong complaint to begin with. --Sancerre

Congratulations on a rarely seen and gorgeous watch. Looking forward to seeing more pictures of it here. Richard

…I would describe it as SEXY! and that blue dial takes it to whole ‘nother level. Congrats! Drew

This is my first blue watch, and you are right, it is fantastic. Thanks Drew. --Sancerre
