Watch enthusiasts, gather around! If you have a soft spot for timepieces that marry classic design with modern engineering, then the latest offering from IWC at the 2023 Watches & Wonders Geneva is one you should not miss. Introducing the new generation Ingenieur watch, a thoughtful re-imagination of Gérald Genta’s iconic 1970s Ref. 1832 design.

The reinvented Ingenieur exhibits a 40mm case that beautifully combines vertical and circular brushing with a polished finish. It measures a sleek 10.7mm in thickness, allowing it to glide under shirt cuffs with ease. A set of five screws secures the bezel, while the lugs and the ergonomically redesigned H-link bracelet ensure a snug, comfortable fit on your wrist.

The pièce de résistance of this timepiece is the dial, which revives the original Ingenieur SL’s “grid” texture. This intricate pattern is pressed into the iron dial base, then meticulously treated with galvanization. Featuring a lattice of intersecting lines, the pattern embraces the dial’s core, while the surrounding minutes track remains smooth—perfection in design alignment with the IWC logo and the grid pattern. Luminous markers ensure legibility even when things go dark.

Fans of vintage design will appreciate the large three-hand layout, with hour markers and the second hand styled in quintessential 70s fashion. The watch houses a date window at 3 o’clock and the iconic “INGENIEUR” label at 6 o’clock.

Not to be outdone, the original steel bracelet has been masterfully replicated, boasting identical structure, materials, and fit, ensuring the wearer’s experience is on par with the original. Ticking within is the reliable Swiss SW300 movement, known for precision and stability, while a more budget-friendly option with the Seagull 2892 version offers similar aesthetic details.

With the V7 factory’s meticulous craftsmanship, this watch stands as a testament to the artistry and precision of watchmaking. Now available for your admiration and collection!
