The completely overhauled Ingenieur collection that IWC unveiled to the world back in March is now available in stores, along with two exclusive special editions – the first was launched to mark the 50th birthday of its partner Mercedes-AMG, and the second pays tribute to the Swiss racing cyclist and double Olympic champion Fabian Cancellara.
Ingenieur collection
The design of the new Ingenieur collection is starkly reminiscent of the first generation of this watch family from the 1950s and the 1960s. The new models now boast an unmistakable vintage character and are lighter, more elegant and more classic in their overall appearance.
Available in three versions, the Ingenieur Automatic (Ref. 3570) is a simple, elegant watch with three hands and a date window at “3 o’clock”.
Also available in three versions, the Ingenieur Chronograph (Ref. 3808) is impressive with its winning combination of sportiness and elegance.
These Ingenieur watches are equipped with the newly developed stainless-steel bracelets, which are exceptionally comfortable to wear and have a fine-adjustment clasp integrated into the buckle.
The Ingenieur Chronograph Sport with Titanium, black dial, rhodium-plated hands and appliqués, black calfskin strap features, is limited to 500 watches worldwide only.
The Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar Digital Date-Month is the flagship of the new Ingenieur collection. Limited to 100 watches, the watch features 18-carat red gold, silver-plated dial, black hands and black alligator leather strap.
Limited Special Edition Watches
In May, IWC launched the Ingenieur Chronograph Sport Edition “50th Anniversary of Mercedes-AMG” at the Nürburgring to mark the 50th anniversary of its partner Mercedes-AMG, which is only limited to 250 pieces worldwide.
In June, IWC unveiled the Ingenieur Chronograph Edition “Cancellara” in Berne. This was the watchmaking company’s way of paying tribute to the career of the Swiss racing cyclist and double Olympic champion Fabian Cancellara, which is only limited to 77 watches based on Cancellara’s favourite number: 7.
