In a sure sign that smaller case sizes are de riguer, IWC has downsized its 2023 Ingenieur—a remake of the Ingenieur SL Reference 1832, famously designed by Gérald Genta in 1976 (itself a remake of the original 1955 Ingenieur)—to a slim and compact 35 mm model now available in three fetching iterations: An 18k pink gold edition with a gold-colored dial on a gold bracelet, and two stainless steel versions, one bearing a black dial and the other a silver-plated dial. Common to all three models is the 47110 calibre with automatic winding, whose delicate finishing details—including circular graining, Geneva stripes, and a gold-plated oscillating weight—are visible through the open caseback.

Case Material: One model in 18k pink gold and two in stainless steel
