New Release
Dr No's report from the IWC SIHH 2013 novelties display in Beverly Hills offers a firsthand look at the new Ingenieur collection. His detailed photos and initial impressions provide valuable context for understanding IWC's direction for the year, particularly the range of chronographs and the new Ingenieur Automatic. This article captures the excitement of a collector event and highlights key models for enthusiasts.
How does it feel on the wrist? 40mm seems pretty refreshing after all of these jumbo sizes IWC has been putting out.
. . . it came across more sensibly than the 46 mm chronograph that was on my wrist only a few minutes before. I rather liked the appearance of the black dial version on my wrist . . .
Always have loved the Ingenieur, specially the model from the 80's and 90's, my fav one is the meca-quartz alarm chronograph from the 90's, despite of being 34mm, it looks great on my wrist and to my eyes.

And cutting back to three, I can\'t see any from this lot joining my collection. The only one that called to me in 5 years was the Climate Action, but I so wanted it to have a transparent case back. The ceramic bezel is great, complementing the black and creamy white dial. The rest of the Ingenieurs seem to be scratch- and ding-magnets. And clunky.
No, I think not. Aren\'t these beautiful though? Photos from Wikipedia
