Ingenieur in detail

F@TWW found some time to shoot a final set of pics of our Ingenieur. The Royal Oak, Nautilus, Ingenieur and others all have in common that a big part of the design is in the details.. the different finishes, the angles, the edges. Once polished by the wrong guy, the whole look can be ruined... But this one is in near pristine shape, proudly displaying it's powerful and rugged design. Killer piece.

This cardboard outer box is quite an unusual item to find with IWC

Full set with EU warranty.

IWC Ingenieur 3227

For a change of pace in a week filled with Rolex, we'd like to show you something else: the Ingenieur. The first models used a rather conservative design but IWC hired Gerald Genta to spice things up in the second half of the seventies. The result was the now iconic Ingenieur SL, a model that served as inspiration for the 3227.

This generation of Ingenieurs was (and still is..) made in quite a few different variations - AMG, chronographs, Zidane, Climate Action, 7-days and so on.. But this is the original version, no weird coops to be seen here. The size is still reasonable, whereas the newest versions tend to be a bit over the top. IWC however dropped this model from the line-up some two years ago and ever since it's been gaining popularity.

The movement in this Ingenieur is an IWC 'manufacture' which uses the Pellaton-winding system.
