The AP story reminds me of the early 1990ies, when IWC tried to transpond the concept of pocket watch to the "Jeans-Generation".
They created the waterproof(!) IWC Ingenieur SL Pocket Watch ref. 5215. Great watch. I owned the example in the pics here. Commercially a total fail. A few hundred (max.) produced and sold between 1982 and 1996.
I loved it. But I sold it after a few years. A pocket watch is - say - not entirely practical.
Cheers, HSTE
Waterproof so it survives
a trip through the washing machine when you
forget to take it out of your pocket.
This graph-paper 5215 is wonderful!
I wasn’t aware of it, even if the graph-paper 3506 is my favorite Ingenieur…
Thank you so much for sharing it.
