IWC Ingenieur Ref. 666 in as-new original condition. This early Ingenieur from 1960 embodies the classic, functional design of the line: a robust stainless steel case with a screw-down back, a silver, clearly structured dial with applied indices and the characteristic functional appearance without superfluous decorative elements. Inside, an automatic IWC calibre with a soft-iron inner cage for protection against magnetic fields – a technical signature of the Ingenieur. In this exceptionally well-preserved, original condition, the Ref. 666 is a sought-after milestone in IWC history and an ideal choice for lovers of purist tool watches.

The return of the 80s

Everything comes back. At some point. Even my grandmother knew that and the more mature you become, the more you realise: damn, it really is like that. When Rolex presented the GMT-Master II as a yellow gold and bicolour version on a Jubilé bracelet last year, I immediately felt something like my own personal Werthers Echte moment. Only not with gold-wrapped caramel sweets, but with the watches I knew from my childhood. And so I still remember, as if it were yesterday, the picture of TV legend Horst Tappert smiling at me from the cover of a TV magazine with a gold GMT on a Jubilee bracelet.

How deep is deep?

When I started wearing watches at a young age, everything was quite simple for me. If the words “Water Resistant” were written on the back cover, you had to be careful. On the other hand, if it said “30M”, everything was fine. Off to the beach with it and have fun. I wore those watches in the sea for years without a care in the world - for swimming, showering and bathing anyway.
