Hands-On: The New IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40 Is Back To Genta's Integrated Design
I’d like to start this article with one word; finally.?Yes, the IWC Ingenieur is finally back to its emblematic 1970s, Genta-designed integrated look. And in fact, looking at?previous versions of this watch, it’s never been so close to the original. And while the story of the Ingenieur started before Gerald Genta and its vision of an IWC luxury sports watch with an integrated bracelet, this 1976 version is certainly the one most of us associate with the Ingenieur name. So, no more small talk and teasing, let’s have a closer look at the brand-new IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40 reference IW3289, the comeback of Genta’s design and the integrated look, which we’ve been able to film ahead of its launch, in a video that you’ll discover on top of this article.Quick recap – The Ingenieur watches of the pastThe story of the Ingenieur collection starts, as often back in the old but good days of mechanical watchmaking, with a watch to answer a specific need.
Introducing: Tudor Has Just Dropped An Unexpected Black Bay Chrono PINK
This might well be the most unexpected release of Tudor in years.

Released in the frame of the partnership with Visa Cash App RB F1 Team, Tudor created a Black Bay Ceramic blue dial “team watch” only for this occasion. Well, now it’s a sort of secret release, a watch that “might not be for everyone. And that's OK because few of them will ever be made,” (and that’s a quote from Tudor). What we know is that it’s a Black Bay Chrono Pink and… the rest seems to be a secret for those in the know. But we’ll try to know all about it during Watches and Wonders.
