A few new shots of my IWC Ingenieur "Jumbo" ref. 1832, designed by Gerlad Genta.

I love these beasts of watches: they are super massive, heavy, solid and with - in my view - a brilliant design. The one on the left is from December 2, 1983, the one on the right is from April 30, 1979. They are both in MINT condition. Powered by a fanta

Each of the 'classic' Genta designs tells the story of 'its' brand ...

which I think is the secret of Genta's excellence: The AP Royal: For me the ultimate sophistication of the concept. Extremely flat, perfectly combining round elements with sharply tailored edges. The mystery screws on the bezel are iconic. The IWC Ingenie

A crowd of 70ies Jumbos, all steel, black dial only

I love those ultra-thin (except IWC Ingenieur 1832), super-deluxe, experimental design (at the time), rare full steel Jumbo watches from the 70ies. It is particularly the classy "steel case - steel bracelet - black dial" combination that I like but I have
