Urban Style and Wearability: IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40 Green Dial Ref. IW328908
When you encounter the Ingenieur Automatic 40 with a green dial by IWC Schaffhausen, you feel as if you have come across a piece of engineering artistry rendered in horological form, a watch that refuses to retreat quietly into the annals of modern luxury; instead, it strides confidently into the urban milieu, evoking both nostalgia and forward-thinking bravado. It is a watch deeply rooted in IWC’s prestigious lineage yet rejuvenated to appeal to contemporary sensibilities. This limited edition draws inspiration from the world of cinema, taking its cue from the bespoke Ingenieur SL worn by Brad Pitt’s Sonny Hayes in the Apple Original Films’ "F1®", imbuing the watch with a compelling blend of dramatic character and authentic racing heritage.
Perpetual Calendar: the Concept, the Affordable, the Independent, the Sporty and the Prominent
A perpetual calendar wristwatch is a type of watch that tracks and displays the date, day of the week, month, and leap years.
The painstaking task of selecting the favorites of 2023.
As a watch enthusiast and journalist, I am often asked: “Which one is your favorite?“. With my face blushing at the sight of the pieces that I love the most, my heart pounding at the sight of horological complications, and my mouth drooling over exceptional finishes, it is hard to pinpoint my favorite every year. As a (sometimes) pragmatist, I understand why certain watches are loved, desired or bought more than others. It is like asking the mom or dad of a family with several children which is their favorite child – in theory, all of them are, but they might still recognize that they have a favorite.
