EUR 29.500,-

IWC Ingenieur SL Reference 1832 with extract from the archives, in condition like new. Designed by Gérald Genta in 1976, the Ingenieur SL belongs to the defining generation of integrated steel sports watches of that era. The Ingenieur line was originally known for its antimagnetic properties, and this piece pairs that technical heritage with the bold, integrated case and bracelet design characteristic of Genta's work. The silver dial underlines the watch's clean, tool oriented character, driven by an automatic movement. The accompanying extract from the archives confirms reference and production details directly from IWC. Condition is like new, a collector's piece that shows the design language of the 1970s in unaltered form.

IWC

The succes story of IWC began in 1868 when the American engineer Florentine Aristo Jones settled in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. His business partner Johann Heinrich Moser had invented a system that enabled them to use the water power of the Rhine for industrial purposes. Together they started the mechanized production of Watches. In the following Year they already produced over 10.000 Watches for the US market and expanded selling internationally.

In the right time

Rocket Science

For a brief moment, I seriously considered starting this short article with a scientific treatise on the production of carbon fibers. However, given my rather limited abilities in the natural sciences during my school days, I immediately abandoned this idea and instead turned my attention to the things that move us all on a daily basis. 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.
