Ingenieur

In his landmark principles, German industrial designer Dieter Rams argues that good design is always based on a balance between form and function, and ultimately, embodies the philosophy “less, but better”. This idea is exemplified by the Ingenieur SL, created by Gérald Genta in the 1970s. The modern Ingenieur merges Genta’s forward-thinking design with engineered ergonomics and meticulously detailed finishing.

New Ingenieur Models.

Fifty years ago, IWC Schaffhausen introduced the Ingenieur SL, Ref. 1832 – one of the most important integrated-bracelet sports watch designs by Gérald Genta. The Swiss designer’s powerful and pared-down design language continues to shape the modern Ingenieur, which has been comprehensively re-engineered for enhanced ergonomics and elevated finishing. What began in 2023 with the Ingenieur Automatic 40 has since evolved into a complete collection across a range of sizes and materials. This year welcomes the first Ingenieur model featuring a tourbillon.
