Shaffhausen IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40
Reinterpreting the Classic Design by Gérald Genta
(Model IW328903)
While IWC introduced the Ingenieur watch in 1955, it is more closely associated with Gérald Genta. In the 1970s, the legendary watch designer from Geneva created the Ingenieur SL watch (model 1832), infusing his artistic philosophy into the luxury stainless steel sports watch with an integrated bracelet.

The Ingenieur Automatic 40 embodies the bold aesthetics of Gérald Genta's classic Ingenieur watch, achieving the highest level of ergonomics, finishing, and technology. This model features a stainless steel case, bezel, and an integrated H-shaped metal bracelet with a butterfly clasp, all meticulously finished with polished and satin-brushed surfaces. The ergonomic design of the case and bracelet has been reinterpreted, with every detail refined to perfection.

The 40mm case and the newly designed intermediate links allow the watch to fit comfortably on different wrist sizes, even on slender wrists. The distinctive round bezel is secured to the case with five hexagonal screws. The watch is powered by the IWC-manufactured caliber 32111 with a pawl-winding system, providing a 120-hour power reserve.

Additionally, the watch features a soft-iron inner case that protects the movement from magnetic fields, adhering to the technical specifications of the Ingenieur watch tradition. With a water resistance of 10 bar and a newly designed crown protection system, the Ingenieur Automatic 40 becomes a versatile luxury sports watch for the 21st century.
