This year, IWC Schaffhausen turned to its archives to reintroduce its Ingenieur collection. But the brand went back to a very specific time frame: 1974, when now-famed watch designer Gérald Genta designed the Ingenieur SL ‘Jumbo' that launched in 1976. Working with original sketches by Genta, IWC created the new series in updated form with a new case, a flatter bezel and a structured dial that, while modern, recalls the artist's intentions. It even boasts the screws on the bezel that Genta loved, but now they are functional. Measuring 40mm in diameter, this stainless steel version boasts a meticulous grid-pattern dial in aqua/green. It is powered by a mechanical automatic movement and has a soft-iron inner case to protect against magnetism.
