Agree.
My thoughts also, IWC have good models.
Da’vinci, Portefino, Big Pilot, etc that are better known by the public.
It’s the same as Rolex his famous models and the unknown Cellini.
Stay posting.
I am changing i feel.
See a lot of independents and i am waking up.
A lot of marvels, and i am starting dreaming of my first independent.
Exiting.

Genta’s “bastard” child- The IWC Ingenieur
By: Miranda : December 28th, 2021-17:00
In a world dominated by luxury sport watches, not just the usual two, but Moser, Chopard, Bulgari and Overseas to name but a few, there is an obvious omission- a true child of Genta. We all know well, the first two offspring from the Genta. But the third ...
I belief it is a dead horse
By: Weems@8 : December 28th, 2021-17:33
Maybe the wrong name. Maybe the watch attracts almost nobody. It is absolutely nothing for me. Albeit i do not want a PP Nautilus either. Overseas, Royal Oak. That are tru power bulls, i want that on my wrist!

A very good article
By: Cookies : December 28th, 2021-19:12
Thanks for the write-up. After reading it, the niobium alloy version fron 1989 has become my grail watch. I agree that it was the wrong place and wrong time, and that now may be a very good time to release a proper heir to the line. I wish they made somet...
Ingenieur Future Path
By: Steve E : December 28th, 2021-19:23
I hope IWC finds one along the lines of the 3228. The Ingenieur has appeared and disappeared enough over time that may just be it's DNA. What next will be revealed... I sold my 3227 & 3239 last year . It's tough for me to see either of those becoming high...
Thank you for the interesting post!

Not reviving the original engineer in some form is an enormous failure of IWC leadership. There are two excuses, which only make sense as such in the Swiss watch industry which is still stuck in the previous century : releas schedule is determined years a...
Great read, thanks. I agree with your musings
By: RabidManatee : December 29th, 2021-01:13
but am not optimistic that a return to the brand’s roots will be made without a regime change. I used to own an “early” Mark XV, before or at the time of the brand’s sale. I miss it. But it’s been quite some time since I’ve wanted a new one. To be sure, I...
A hands on perspective
By: Globe-man! : December 29th, 2021-04:56
I will admit I biased. I love the “SL” or what I call the 1832 IWC Jumbo. I own three early originals and wear each. But do find it a challenge to wear later models. When they made it smaller and thinner, I lost the Genta vibe. The 1832 on the wrist Makes...
Less than 2 months before WW geneva 2022
By: hoseachandra : February 7th, 2022-06:54
And it is awfully so quiet around IWC now....will we ever see the new Ingenieur. Also no leaks whatsoever from Big boys like PP, VC, rolex, omega, JLC, Cartier, etc...
I heard that Chris Grainger got a memo from Richemont....
By: hoseachandra : February 10th, 2022-09:07
Saying "do not make new Ingenieur if you want to keep your job. The iconic Genta-styled integrated bracelet will eat the Vacheron's Overseas. We already have steel sport integrated bracelet watches in the much-cheaper brands in our portfolio .Lets keep it...
Has anyone take note that IWC has few teasers of new collection 2022
By: hoseachandra : March 25th, 2022-06:04
Three new colours : Inspired by brown desert Inspired by grey-black rocky (iwc specifically says something about titanium alloy) Inspired by bluish white ice/snow. It will be fantastic if they release new Ingenieurs with different material and colors. My ...
4 days before reveal!
By: RGS : March 25th, 2022-15:36
Here goes! The ingenieur will come back… in color. Using ceratanium cases with straps and a bracelet version, again in matching ceratanium color. Why not a classic stainless steel and bracelet design? Well, that space is reserved for the new Vacheron 222 ...
Well ok then
By: RGS : March 25th, 2022-17:30
I hope not colorful pilot watches again. I was hoping for an Ingenieur or at least an Aquatimer with a color twist.
