At the 2023 Watches & Wonders Geneva, IWC stole the show with their new Ingenieur watch, inspired by the iconic Gérald Genta design from the 1970s, known as Ref. 1832. This reimagined masterpiece by V7 Factory is sure to catch every watch enthusiast’s eye.

The watch boasts a 40mm case that combines vertical and circular brushing with exquisite mirror polishing, showcasing refined, softer lines. With a thickness of just 10.7mm, it elegantly rests on the wrist, secured by a bezel with five distinctive screws. The ergonomic redesign of the lugs and H-shaped bracelet ensures a comfortable fit for every wearer.

Perhaps its most standout feature is the dial, which revisits the original Ingenieur SL’s ‘grid’ texture. This intricate pattern is embossed on an iron plate base and then galvanized, resulting in a striking visual that covers the entire dial’s internal area. The outer area, circumscribing the minute markers, remains smooth, giving the watch a clean finish. Even the position and alignment of the IWC logo have been thoughtfully adjusted to complement the grid pattern. With luminous hour markers, the watch offers clarity in low light conditions.

The dial adopts a classic layout with three hands, echoing the 1970s aesthetic for hour markers and the second hand. A date window is elegantly positioned at 3 o’clock, while the ‘INGENIEUR’ badge sits proudly at 6 o’clock.

V7 Factory has meticulously recreated the watch’s steel bracelet, ensuring all structural elements mirror the original. It’s crafted with precision, promising a wearing experience that’s true to the authentic model.

Under the hood, the V7 Ingenieur features the reliable Swiss SW300 movement, famed for its precision and durability, ensuring no-fuss wear. For those seeking a more budget-friendly version, there’s also the stable Seagull 2892 option, which mimics the Swiss version’s appearance.
