IngenieurAutomatic 35 50th Anniversary

With the Ingenieur Automatic 35 50th Anniversary, IWC Schaffhausen celebrates the 50th anniversary of the Ingenieur SL, reference 1832, designed by the legendary Geneva watch designer and artist Gérald Genta in 1976. Limited to 1,150 pieces, the model features a case and integrated bracelet crafted in stainless steel. To mark the Ingenieur SL's 50th anniversary, the Ingenieur Automatic 35 50th Anniversary joins IWC Schaffhausen's Ingenieur collection as a limited anniversary edition with a case diameter of 35 millimetres. Despite its compact dimensions, it preserves the design codes that defined the Ingenieur SL, Reference 1832, created by Gérald Genta in the 1970s, combining excellent ergonomics with elaborate finishing. Limited to 1,150 pieces, the model features a case and integrated bracelet crafted in stainless steel. The bracelet, which attaches via its middle links, ensures enhanced ergonomics and outstanding wearing comfort. The silver-plated dial with its distinctive brushed finish is inspired by a historic version of the Ingenieur SL from the 1970s. The rhodium-plated hands and hour markers are filled with Super-LumiNova® and individually set by hand. As a subtle nod to the anniversary, the lightning bolt that traditionally features in the Ingenieur logo on the dial has been replaced with the number "50". The Ingenieur Automatic 35 is distinguished by elaborate surface finishing that combines satin and polished surfaces, lending the design depth and reflecting light to striking effect. It features the Ingenieur's signature bezel, one of the collection's defining design elements. Secured to the case band with five screws, the bezel has a satin finish with polished edges that accentuate the sculptural quality of Gérald Genta's design. A transparent sapphire crystal case back reveals the 47110 calibre, an automatic movement with a power reserve of 42 hours. The movement is finished with Côtes de Genève and perlage, and features a gold-plated rotor.
