Such a great looking watch. I love it. Maybe some day. What holds me back is the idea of overpaying for a watch with a rather prosaic movement. I’m referring to the current Ingenieur.
My old Inge 3508 had to get out of the safe.
Inspired by posts about the new Inge, I had to fetch it from the safe. That edgy styling and integrated bracelet has a nice understated look. Nothing that is noticed by non-WIS people. It might be mistaken for another Tissot-PRX-like 80s watch. But if you...
Simple yet beautiful and elegant make for a lovely IWC.
I have always liked these earlier versions of the IWC Ingenieur as all of the design elements just come together to make a great simple and clean and great looking watch IMHO. This one deserves to be freed from the confines of your safe much more often as...
You’re absolutely right. Especially as i bought it because I work with MRI-Equipment.
So I am frequently exposed to magnetic fields of up to 3 Tesla. Thank goodness I have never forgotten taking off my watches before entering the MRI-room. Otherwise I woud have killed them. And up to now, i didn’t dare to wear the IWC.
With my smaller wrist, I am happy that the trend is towards smaller watches.
As much as I liked the 3227 on paper, it looked ridiculous on my wrist when I tried it on several years ago.
I like this model very much.
I also like the graph paper dial variant which you might know and to which I have dedicated the following thread . Best, Emmanuel
And the graph paper dial has two additional treats.
The double Index at 12 and the beautiful script, which is omitted in the later dials.
Is that a screw down bezel?
I’m trying to imagine why there is no particular alignment of the drill holes to the numbers on the dial.
Oh...just re-read your post where you explain
that the "lunette" is screwed in. Reading for Comprehension now...
