I'm usually a fan of IWC - but what were they thinking w this new collection??
The carbon fiber examples just look crappy. And the price tags - fuggetabouit! Looking fwd to seeing the rolex line. |

Also, I am getting confused with where Cartier is going. They keep rolling out these unbelievable watches that appear to be extremely complicated and innovative in terms of watchmaking, but are something maybe a handful of people in the world will actually ever own. As a consequence, they seem to be ignoring the masses with some lets say "uninspired" pieces of late. |

I have like IWCs for a while, but lately they are so BIG - 46 mm Ingenieurs - who is going to wear them?

The IWC with a partial wheel, and the one with three pistons, engraved on the rotor... Couldn't be more cringe inducing. Horrid. I would think that was stupid on a child's watch.

The 40mm Ingeneiur has potential. $6600 list should translate to $5K range, good price point. Hopefully we'll get a better live shot.

5k for an IWC with an ETA movement isn't a superb deal. I'd take a used 3227 over that any day.

I do like the 40mm Ingeniuer, but I would prefer the 3227.
