The selection process ...
Here is what I do:
- Dressy (I never wear a suit, except on marriage parties) - Inge Vintage Collection
- Sporty - Inge AMG
- Sporty and hot/wet weather - Inge 3239 (rubber on most of cases or SS bracelet)
Now, if a 666 is added, it will be only admired (I don't trust myself to wear a somehow rare watch).
Cheers,

The tale of three IWC Ingenieur
Team, In this fantastic hobby we face, from time to time, a collection theme (if I can call that) just by accident. My fascination with the IWC Ingenieur started many years back but, at that time, I could not justify the sticker price of a three hand watc...
Fabulous post Nilo!
I've allways had a fondness for the Ingenieur models of IWC. Great collection, thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Cheers, Tim
Thank you ...
Tim, The Inge line is very interesting. Amazes me that the first ones with Genta's design bombed because they were considered too bold for the time (IMHO). Cheers, Nilo
Collecting by theme is a passionate experience.
I must say, to be honest that I much prefer your first one. I find the others to be a bit too macho. But I can understand that working on a theme is a super experience. Bravo, Nilo! All the best, Nicolas
Thank you for the advise ...
Themed collection is a way to focus. Let's see what I can get next. In respect to the "macho" design of Genta, remember that I have Italian origins, meaning that "mi piace". Cheers, Nilo
Handsome treesome
but 3239 is my favorite by far The one to have Thank you for great post Best Damjan
Great post Nilo on the Ingenieur
Very nice collection Nilo. Now which one to wear, must be hard to choose! All look beautiful on the wrist. Regards, ED-209

Movement(s) for this model?
Hello. I've been looking find out whether the IW3239 (which appeals to me a lot) has a modified ETA 2892-A2, or a modified Sellita SW300? Maybe both were used at different times depending on availability? I've looked in several places and the closest thin...
Like this one?
This was added, in 2016 after a major renovation in Schaffhausen, and then subtracted by my wife. Cheers, Nilo ...
IWC Ingeneur AMG Ti
Dear Nilomis, greetings from Caracas, Felicitaciones por su hermosa coleccion de IWC Ingenieurs. I have the IWC Inge AMC in Ti but in my watch the pin buckle is amde of steel with a special finish to look like titanium. Its a wonderful watch that I enjoy ...
Who woke up this 4-yr old thread?
No matter, I’m in! Is this the most prominent SWISS MADE you’ve ever seen? Doing a little internal warming with my Climate Action. Cazalea ...
I woke up this thread.
Me. I want know if the 40mm 3239 models have an ETA movement or a Sellita.
Michael Friedberg says, on the IWC factory website forum ...
“It's cal. 30110, which is an ETA 2892 produced to IWC's standards. Sorry for an error [earlier saying it was a Sellita] Regards, Michael mfriedberg@” A review of the 2892 Cazalea
Answer I was looking for.
Thank you. When the 3239 came out there were reviews saying it had the SW200 which makes no sense in a 10mm thick iron-caged watch, but that rumor persisted for years.
The 3229 is not on the catalog ...
For some years. IWC changed the Inge line. Cheers, Nilo
Sad thing, Mike is ...
That I don't own any of those watches. At that time, I was an addicted "flipper". Cheers, Nilo
Wow. I' m jealous. Three handsome ingenieur.
Of the three i like the 3227 the most, and then the 3239. They have magnetic resistance, a must for watches that called theirself "Ingenieur". Thanks for thr story and beautiful shots. Cheers
