50th Anniversary of the IWC Ingenieur
The Engineers Society Lab.
Montenapoleone Glass Box, 22-28 September
Throughout the week, Il Laboratorio "Form und Technik" becomes a living platform where visitors can experience a constantly evolving programme of talks, live performances, craftsmanship and design conversations – celebrating the ideas, people and disciplines that continue to shape the Ingenieur today.
Lab Program
During Milan Fashion Week, in the heart of Montenapoleone, a Glass Box with a design inspired by a large speaker creates a direct dialogue with the city and its passers-by. An open, contemporary, and immersive space where the technical language of watchmaking meets that of art, design, and creativity.
50 Years IWC Ingenieur.
Witness the story of a masterpiece – and become part of its living legacy. Discover the world of the legendary IWC Ingenieur, created in 1976 by Swiss visionary of Italian heritage, Gérald Genta – an artist whose creativity forever reshaped watch design.
Silver-Plated Dials With a Distinctive Brushed Finish
Available in 40 and 35-millimeter case sizes, both anniversary editions are distinguished by their silver-plated dials with a striking brushed finish, inspired by a rare variant of the Ingenieur SL from the 1970s. The Ingenieur logo on the dial subtly incorporates the number “50” as a tribute to the 50th anniversary of Gérald Genta’s design.
