The Ingenieur line for 2013 and perhaps the Portuguese line for 2014?
If we calculate all 6+1(vintage collection) lines that IWC is offering at the moment and the fact that every year a line is being rejuvenated, then we can expect a life span of 6-7 years pair new launch. For example, the new Ingenieurs that we will be seeing and perhaps purchasing within 2013, will have new "younger brothers" by the year 2020. Is that how it works, or are other factors and elements also involved in the process (limited editions, boutique editions etc)?
Just a thought that came up today, while examining some pre-launch photos of the new Ingenieur line.

I think you will corrsct Shing - and I hope so too with round or different cases - since the current Da Vinci family didn't make it into my collection.
