2025 IWC Ingenieur Automatic 35mm Black Dial IW324906

Here we have a 2025 IWC Ingenieur Automatic 35mm Black Dial IW324906. This watch's design draws inspiration from the legendary Ingenieur SL Reference 1832 created by visionary designer Gérald Genta in the 1970s, modernising the iconic integrated-bracelet luxury sports watch formula for a more compact and versatile silhouette. The 35mm stainless steel case curves elegantly over your wrist, featuring a beautiful interplay of satin-finished and polished surfaces that transition with crisp lines. A compact lug-to-lug length of 41.5mm and a remarkably slim case thickness of 9.5mm give the watch an incredibly ergonomic and lightweight wrist presence, perfect for those who appreciate classic proportions. Down the right side, we have newly designed, prominent crown guards protecting a screw-in signed crown in the centre. The characteristic fixed bezel is secured directly to the case by five functional, polygonal screws, precisely executed so they always sit in the exact same, symmetrical positions. The flat, AR-coated sapphire crystal sits above a captivating black dial with a distinct "Grid" structure, replicating the technical, industrial tone of the original Genta designs. A precisely marked outer minute track is complemented by rhodium-plated appliqué baton indexes filled with Super-LumiNova to mark the hours. At 3 o’clock, a framed date window. The central hour and minute hands share a matching rhodium-plated finish with luminous infill, complemented by a sharp, sweeping central seconds hand. At noon, the printed IWC motif sits proudly, with “Ingenieur” beneath it in its historic cursive script. The sapphire crystal exhibition caseback showcases the automatic IWC Cal. 47110, featuring a highly efficient self-winding system and a robust 42-hour power reserve. This efficient movement runs at 28,800 beats per hour and is finely adjusted for precision and performance; it features circular graining and Geneva stripes. The watch comes with an integrated 21.5mm stainless steel bracelet featuring H-links with polished bevels and a hidden, secure butterfly folding clasp, IWC Push bars; all links are provided and will fit up to 7.1-inch wrist. The watch comes complete with its original IWC presentation box, swing tag, travel case, and paperwork.

This watch is sold with its original IWC presentation box, swing tag, travel case and original IWC paperwork. The watch was purchased in December 2025. The watch comes paired with an integrated 21.5mm stainless steel bracelet featuring H-links with polished bevels and a hidden, secure butterfly folding clasp, IWC Push bars; all links are provided and will fit up to 7.1-inch wrist. As you can see from the photos, it is worn, but overall it is in very fair condition. The watch comes with our 12-Months Warranty.

I genuinely think IWC has absolutely nailed the proportions with this 35mm Ingenieur. It's one of those watches that you really need to try on to appreciate just how good it is. On paper, 35mm might sound a little small for a sports watch, but thanks to that integrated bracelet and beautifully sculpted case, it wears incredibly well on the wrist. The way everything flows together is just fantastic, and at only 9.5mm thick, it's wonderfully comfortable too. I'm also a huge fan of the black Grid dial and the contrast between the brushed and polished surfaces. There's so much detail to appreciate, yet the overall design remains wonderfully understated. If you've been considering an Ingenieur but aren't sure about the size, I'd strongly recommend getting this one on your wrist. It might just surprise you. Snap it up and add it to your collection today!

In 1867, a passionate visionary named Florentine embarked on a quest to revolutionise the art of watchmaking in Europe by applying for a passport. Fueled by the ambition to craft timepieces using the innovative American system of watchmaking, he drew inspiration from the renowned Federal Armouries at Springfield and Harpers Ferry. This meticulous system was designed for armaments requiring precision-engineered interchangeable parts—an ideal match for the world of horology. As a true pioneer, Florentine was instrumental in introducing this groundbreaking approach to the Swiss watchmaking industry. By 1868, Florentine had arrived in the picturesque town of Schaffhausen, Switzerland, where he teamed up with Charles Kidder. Together, they founded a company originally named F. A. Jones & Co. This name would evolve into the iconic IWC International Watch Company, a brand that would come to symbolise excellence in watchmaking. In 1876, after years of dedication, Florentine returned to the United States, where he eventually retired, leaving behind a legacy that lasted until his passing in 1916. The year 1885 marked a significant milestone for IWC with the launch of the first pocket watches featuring a revolutionary digital hours and minutes display known as the Pallweber system. As time progressed, the company continued to break new ground, producing one of the first ladies' wristwatches in 1899, showcasing IWC's commitment to innovation and inclusivity in horological design. In 1905, Ernst Jakob Homberger took over IWC's management on behalf of Rauschenbach's heirs, eventually becoming the sole owner after acquiring C.G. Jung's holdings in 1929. The following years saw remarkable advancements, such as the introduction of IWC's first pilot's watch in 1936, which featured a clever rotating bezel and indicator to log take-off times. The iconic Portuguese watch was designed in 1939, followed closely by the creation of the Big Pilot 52T SC, which catered to a growing demand for larger timepieces with a central second hand. During the tumultuous times of World War II, IWC introduced its first W.W.W. military watch in 1944, specifically crafted for the British military. Four years later, the Pilot's Watch Mark 11 was designed, incorporating an iron cage to protect against magnetic fields. A pivotal moment came in 1950 when Albert Pellaton unveiled the Calibre 85, IWC's first automatic movement featuring an innovative patented pawl-winding system. In 1955, Hans Ernst Homberger became the last private owner of IWC, continuing the legacy of craftsmanship and innovation. The late 1960s brought new challenges with the quartz crisis; however, IWC managed to adapt and evolve. In 1967, they launched the Aquatimer dive watch, and in collaboration with other Swiss brands, they participated in the development of the Beta 21 quartz movement in 1969. The renowned watch designer Gerald Genta made his mark in 1976 with the creation of the iconic Ingenieur, symbolising elegance and engineering prowess. A significant shift occurred in 1978 when German instrument manufacturer VDO Adolf Schindling AG acquired IWC, marking a new era for the brand. During this time, F. A. Porsche designed a groundbreaking chronograph, recognised as the world's first timepiece encased in titanium, a material primarily used in the aviation industry. The spirit of innovation that Florentine nurtured throughout his life continues to resonate in modern IWC watches. In 1990, the company unveiled a horological masterpiece: the Grand Complication, featuring a perpetual calendar, minute repeater, and moon phase indicator—a true testament to IWC's craftsmanship.
