I don't mind a reissue of the no date 666...

Seriously though, if they're going to relaunch it, they need to consolidate their catalog, go with the tried and tested tribute approach with limited eds of the 666 and the "jumbo", then reimagine those 2 for the regular catalog. For sport, I quite like the 3239. Maybe they can use that as a starting point for modern. Or reimagine the jumbo to something more sleek if they don't want the crown guards on the 3239. For the 666, a modern offering might see a bump from 37mm to 39, for example..and, yeah, with both date/no date version. They can even make the no date a limited run if it proves to be less commercially desirable than a date version. Although I can see how an updated 666 might look like a JLC Master Control. But it's all about the Inge logo at the bottom. And, yes, baby steps with just a few items on the catalog to let the Inge look stabilize. And leave those chrono versions to the Pilot and Portuguieser lines. They better get to it before Hodinkee does a VC CVD on them smile

Bringing back a classic Ingenieur - This caught my attention

From an interview published on aBlogtoWatch: www.ablogtowatch.com / aBlogtoWatch : The other day my friend and colleague Zach Piña posted one heck of an all-gold Ingenieur SL on his personal account and we started chatting about it. He wanted me ...  

Agree completely...

Wearing my Royal Oak Chrono now and love the Ingenieur, but never cared for the Nautilus. This design is certainly different enough to stand on it's own.

You have a winner on your hands and you think now is not the right time??

Invest into a thin movement and bring those gorgeous pieces back, it is really a no brainer.

Czapek, ALS, GP, Chopard, H.Moser... and IWC who have rights to the original Genta design, where other two Gentas are sold for double/triple retail prices, thinks it is not a right time for Genta inspired Ingenieur... Would love to see drugs Richemont peo... 

IMHO...

they should not have shelved this Ingenieur design in the first place.

Not the right time???

Advertising is the way to explain the Ingenier's history. Saying it isn't the right time means NEVER!

What kind of sense does that make, Hublot has copied the Royal Oak with success, his comments are bewildering??? Genta design stands alone in my opinion.

The DNA is magnetic !!!

Seems more and more posting about their favorite. I remain 1832 biased with great support from family and super friends who share the passion. This guy still wears the best and has at every angle the GENTA DNA. Love them. ...
