IWC Schaffhausen introduces the Ingenieur Automatic 42 in black ceramic at Watches and Wonders Geneva. It combines the Gérald Genta-derived integrated bracelet design with a full ceramic execution for the first time. To achieve a faithful ceramic translation of the emblematic design, the watch features an innovative multi-part ceramic case construction. The model is also distinguished by a high level of detail in the finishing of its ceramic components, with a combination of satin finishing, sandblasting, and polishing. The IWC-manufactured 82110 calibre with a Pellaton winding system, ceramic components, and a power reserve of 60 hours is visible through the tinted sapphire glass case back.
The Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar 41 in stainless steel
IWC Schaffhausen introduces the Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar 41, marking the Swiss luxury watch manufacturer’s first stainless steel model to combine the Gérald Genta-inspired Ingenieur design with the perpetual calendar developed by Kurt Klaus. The 41-mm case, bezel, and bracelet have satin-finished and polished surfaces. On the blue dial with its characteristic “Grid” pattern, three subdials display the date, day of the week, month, and perpetual moon phase. Rhodium-plated hands and metal markers filled with Super-LumiNova ensure perfect legibility. The IWC-manufactured 82600 calibre with Pellaton winding system and ceramic components can be viewed through the sapphire glass case back.

The new Ingenieur Automatic 35 offers the same enhanced ergonomics and highly detailed finishing as the 40-mm version.
The Big Pilot’s Watch Shock Absorber Tourbillon Skeleton XPL combines IWC’s shock absorber system with a tourbillon.
IWC Schaffhausen presents the Big Pilot’s Watch Shock Absorber Tourbillon Skeleton XPL, marking the first time IWC uses its patented SPRIN-g PROTECT shock absorber system to protect a tourbillon against shocks. The cantilever spring was completely redesigned and adapted to accommodate the IWC-manufactured 82915 calibre with a flying minute tourbillon. To reduce the mass of the movement and maximize the system’s performance, the plates, bridges, and rotor are skeletonized, also offering a better view of the complicated mechanics and the bulk metallic glass (BMG) shock absorber spring inside. This highly complex watch in a technical design features a Ceratanium case and crown. It is fitted with a black patterned rubber strap with a Ceratanium pin buckle.

The perpetual calendar displays the date and the month in digital format using large gold-colored discs. The watch is powered by the IWC-manufactured 89802 calibre with a power reserve of 68 hours. Visible through a tinted sapphire glass case back, this highly engineered mechanical movement consists of 474 individual parts and also drives a chronograph function.
