First Look: The New IWC Ingenieur Automatic 42 Black Ceramic (Incl. Video)
IWC staged the much-anticipated return of its Ingenieur in 2023, an iconic reference designed by the late Gerald Genta. Recovering genetic traits of Genta's famous 1976 Ingenieur SL Jumbo reference 1832, the current collection was rekindled with a handsome, fully integrated 40mm Automatic in steel and titanium. The latest Ingenieur Automatic is slightly larger and dressed in black ceramic from head to toe for a sharper, more technical look. Another aspect that distinguishes it from the regular 40mm Automatics is the incorporation of IWC's in-house 82110 calibre.Developed in 1955 for technical and scientific applications, the Ingenieur was water and shock-resistant and fitted with a soft-iron cage to protect the movement from magnetism. The watch's original 1950s dress watch aesthetics were given a radical overhaul by Gerald Genta in 1976. With its large 40mm case, wide bored bezel with five functional screws, sculpted integrated H-link bracelet and grid dial, Genta's Ingenieur SL Jumbo

There’s another watch that is part of the classics, a navigation chronograph named the Sinn 903 St. This year, this watch with one of the most classic designs of the industry gets a technical update to make it even better. Here’s the new generation of 903 St.?Before you start commenting on the fact that this watch is a copy of the Breitling Navitimer, let me explain why you’d be right on one side, but also why Sinn has the legitimacy to do so. Some might not know the story behind the creation of the Sinn 903 and why it is so close to a Navitimer in both design and technical specs. The story is that, back in the late 1970s, Breilting
