New Ingenieur 40 $11,700
New IWC Ingenieur
Re: New IWC Ingenieur
Price seems a little nuts, but I guess they figure with the demand for other higher priced Genta designs out there…
They even gave it a waffle-esque dial.

Should have found a way to keep it under $10K..
Re: New IWC Ingenieur
I genuinely love the look, the size, everything Mike, but yeah the price is funny.
What I will do is just ignore it like I always do and let the watch, or rather the
news of the watch put a smile on the face.
Thanks so so much for the report !!!

Lovely watches if you’re ISO integrated bracelet watch. But the pricing is dumb. IWC is out of its swim lane.
$14,700 for a titanium version - muahahahahaha

Re: New IWC Ingenieur
I'd love for the price to be under $10K, but I don't think that the asking price is that out of line.
Adjusting for inflation, the 3227 was nearly $9K and didn't have the same level of Genta DNA as the new watch, which is much closer to the original Ingenieur SL Jumbo from 1976. The new movement also has a 120 hour (= 5 day) power reserve, rather than the 44hr power reserve of the 3227. The new watch also looks much easier to wear - I loved the 3227 but found it thick, clunky and top heavy and never really found it comfortable to wear on the bracelet.
Maybe once the hoopla dies down, a reasonable discount will be possible so that the watch does come in closer to the $10K mark.

You could be right on the price- probably just wishful thinking🫤….logan2z wrote: ↑Mon Mar 27, 2023 1:00 pmI'd love for the price to be under $10K, but I don't think that the asking price is that out of line.

Re: New IWC Ingenieur
Finally a new nice ingenieur, I was so in until I saw the price. I’ll wait until they’re 40 off on the secondary
Merde Alors! Et Vive Les Francais!
