as an IWC Ingenieur 3508 500,000 A/m (stainless case/black dial) custodian I really enjoyed this episode! The watch has been in my family from new in 1992 (with original box/papers). Acquired by my father who was an avid watch and clock collector it isn't the most valuable watch in my small collection but it's probably the most interesting.

Amazing guys. The format of the video was brilliant. Starting with your personal history with the Ingenieur, following with the release of the watch, and moving to the deep dive into the design, the history, and the story of the watch. Beautifully transitioned over to Chris and Evelyn's interviews. The insight that we gain from this just infuses so much meaning and character into this watch. George's volcanic passion, Chris' intelligent approach to the design updates to the originals, and Evelyn's testimonials of her husband all add to the allure of this new watch. Honestly, I agree with Andrew. The older designs were a miss for me. They were incomplete forms of what the watch could be. This new Ingenieur can finally take its place beside the Nautilus and Royal Oak, not as the black sheep, but as an equal.

@@currentaf8455 So the 3239 was $6600 at launch or $7600 adjusted for inflation. Adding the pseudo in house 32111 has added $250 to models in the past so I was expecting a $8000 price tag. Idk where the other $4000 came from. I guess they are just trying to make up for lost time and make it a margin leader. For now I will stick with the 3239 for literally half the price. Maybe if this didn’t have the crown guards and was more true to form I could see the value.

When I saw this watch release i was first like holy shit they actually released it, then I was ehhh…40mm, then I saw the time+tide video and was like yep I’m back on. It is, imo, the best modern integrated bracelet watch I’ve seen so far. Not to long but still with great presence. I hope to, at least, handle one in the future because it looks superb. P.S., My only problem is that the white dial doesn’t have black sounds on the indices like the titanium one.

It is a great looking watch, but I wished they had challenged their engineers a bit more with the clasp and bracelet of this engineer's/Ingenieur watch. On the fly adjusment and quick change to a rubber or leather strap would have been really nice. I also really liked the quirky "miss-aligned" screws on the bezel. Additionally, I think the price is a bit high considering the target audience. Not many of my colleagues in engineering are in the market for >10k€ watches (even though they could afford it). Edit: I just have to add that I think this episode was brilliant.

Some obersvations: - This might be my favorite episode so far (so yes, continue with spotlights) - Regardless of how much Bamford wants it to be true, I wouldn't call the original Ingenieur design "iconic". It simply never reached the success and place in history as e.g. the Royal Oak or Nautilus. I would call it a historic design. An important watch in the IWC catalog. Not all (even Genta) designs are 10 out of 10. And that is OK. I do agree with you that the new release the best version of the Ingenieur yet. - Kudos to Andrew, he hasn't been the favorite in the trio so far but he is really the best journalist of the three, and elevated this episode. New-found respect.
