New IWC Ingenieur models
IWC just previewed their new 40mm Ingenieur models! Wow. I loved the 3227 42mm but this smaller & thinner version surpasses it IMHO.

I'm really happy to see that IWC is pulling back from their "all in" on 45mm+ watches. I don't like the looks of this watch as much as the old 3227, or 3228, due to the crown guards (which I don't think are very "correct" for an IWC). However, it is nice to know that IWC now sells a watch sized appropriately for someone like me, with a less than 7 inch wrist.
On edit: I just read on TZ.com that this watch is using an ETA movement. Too bad. I guess that 3228 is still in my future. |

Very nice looking, I really like the size as well. Dinner plate size watches are not for me.

Still prefer the older models from IWC

Very cool. Not sure on the crown guards in pics though. Don't think Mr.Genta would approve :-p
I still think the 322701 is pure Ingy perfection. Looking forward to seeing this one in the metal. |

The silver/white one is pretty awesome, and with the ETA-based movement I assume the price should be reasonable (hopefully around $5K). Adding to the list...

I've got no problem with an ETA-sourced movement if it keeps the price down (this "in-house or nothing!" nonsense is getting out of hand). No, my only two issues lie with the crown guards and the smooth dial -- the Ingy isn't a diver and the older I-patterned textured dial were/are mesmerizing.
The 3227-01 still reigns supreme, IMO, but these new models definitely bear closer inspection. Regards, Adam |

I for one am really looking forward to this new model. The older one was cool on paper but too heavy and unruly on the wrist.
Lastly, a real ingineer would always put function over form, the older models, including Big Ingeniurs, surely wasn't that. The new once comes closer. |

Reminds me of AP Royal Oak. I guess both are Genta designs.

I had the 3227 and just loved it.
But the whole time I knew it was just too big on my wrist....and sold it. I do miss it....but this new one will hopefully be a good alternate. |

I'm liking the new Ingenieur models at SIHH! Granted they're big but the modern Ingenieur line has always been big.
