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

Cartier Introduced the new Tank MC Skeleton in Palladium - Monochrome Watches
Cartier introduced the new Tank MC , which is according to Cartier themselves, the most masculine version of the Tank ever. The new Tank MC comes in two version: as an automatic version with Cartier’s in-house caliber 1904 MC and as a manually wound, fully skeletonized version in Palladium. While we’re sure the Tank MC Automatic will be a hit in the boutiques, we love to focus on the latter.?In the past Cartier has introduced several fully skeletonized wrist watches, like the Santos Dumont Squelette and the Santos 100 Squelette. The new Tank MC Skeleton features the exact same fully skeletonized manually wound movement, offering 72 hours of power reserve. The new Tank MC Skeleton measures a “hefty” (at least for a Tank) 39.10 mm from left to right and 43.9 mm from lug to lug, making this into one of the biggest Tank models available. Despite the larger dimensions, the case’s height measures a pleasant 9.3 mm. Ad - Scroll to continue with article
