They went to all that trouble to make an incredible looking and well proportioned watch and didn’t include a micro adjust clasp and made it £2-£3k too expensive!

Thank you for another great video mate. I enjoyed every second. Please keep it coming.

Thanks Adrian for being the first KZfaqr to introduce us to the IWC Ingineur remake of this Gerald Genta classique! It is never too late to reintroduce a true original classic! Never too late. I am going to put this watch on my wish list.

Adrian, I could not agree w/ you more. Definitely a solid improvement, all while still remaining faithful, to the original. Chris and his team at IWC, did a fantastic job w/ this. Your footage was brilliant. Thank you for highlighting this uber important design. Cheers.....

Brilliant.. totally agree. They stayed faithful to the original to preserve its Genta heritage and identity (even the brushed satin finish) but with updated chamfered edges and other tweaks and enhancements to bring it gracefully into the 21st century. Love the dial pattern. Dont know which one to choose. Stellar job.

Best non plug, plug yet for Bark and Jack merch! 😂 cool watch and very under the radar for such an important piece

Great, well-rounded summary, man. Always killer content

I bought a MKXX this evening in London. Blue, and with the additional brown strap. My friend bought the Lewis Hamilton Ingenieur when he was partnered with Rosberg, that is a lovely watch.

Love the quick adjust on the clasp.

If I'm not mistaken, the movement is modified by IWC and based on ETA 2892 manufactured by ValFleurier. The movement is somewhat in-house but not totally. I think the watch is to expensive. I would expect a totally in-house movement at that price point or between 8-10k with the current movement.

so stoked to see this back in the line up! the dial designs are killer!

Glad to see it back. Can’t wait to see it in person.

I will be finishing my Master's degree around the end of this year and was looking for a watch as a gift for myself. I guess this is gonna be the one I'm heading for.

Having seen your wonderful introduction, I really want an Ingenieur now!

This is one of the secrets you kept from us as this was recorded at home but your at watches and wonders 🙌🏾 THANK YOU

Watch of the year. Brillant. 10/10. Great video thank you

WOW! they've hovered over getting this right for years. This one seems just right. Very exciting indeed!

Wonder if Adrian knew the price at filming? They are pushing it price wise and in 2023 at the luxury end it’s inexcusable not to have micro adjustment. Especially for a watch you are always going to keep on the bracelet. The watch looks great and good to see them do such a good job on it.

Yes its a little late, but I'm still stoked to get one. That Aqua dial is gorgeous! Adrian, you are a class act. Kudos, my friend!

I'm an engineer who loves watches. I'm not a pilot, racing driver or diver. So this beautiful watch appeals. Although sadly engineers can't afford £10k on a watch! 😅

Back to the future, and less is more. Classic timepiece. Thanks Adrian. 👍⌚

IWC have a great back catalogue, I’d love for them to bring out a new version of the yacht club II

Great video and to see this back Love the new version in the Aqua dial. Nicely done tapered bracelet This time around I think these are going to be hard to get….

This is insane gorgeous well done i love it

i love this new design. love it wraps round your wrist and love the tapered bracelet - price ? it’s really steep

If this were the same price as the Aquatimer I just got I would definitely be having some buyer's remorse, that's for sure. I think the new Ingenieur is a home run!

Beautiful, sporty, and elegant

The Aqua dial makes it look absolutely stunning

This watch looks better in person than in photos. I saw it at the IWC boutique and it is AMAZING!

Well done IWC. A smart choice to bring back.

Excellent potted history and wonderfully shot as always - thanks Adrian. It's an interesting and storied watch, but a difficult thing to love - you'd have to really love it to buy one (assuming you can get one), and I'm not sure the reality stacks up to the 'pre-wearing' experience. Bizzarely, the opposite of the Bremont Supernova - a watch I was fully prepared to loathe, but fell into the 'take my money' category about 10 seconds after putting it on my wrist....watches eh?

This is my favorite release from W&W 2023. Just nailed it!

Love to see a Bark and Jack watch review back up. I’ve been loving About Effing Time, but definitely prefer Bark and Jack/Adrian Barker watch reviews. This IWC is amazing too!

So exited to find the new release of this IWC Inginuer with perfect sizes and huge power reserve. The dial is exceptional, I am sure the hands, indexes and dates are are usual IWC standard. You missed the prices which is a vital point to set the goal for my next purchase....

Stunning watch and history, wish it was a little bit more affordable, but need to see it in the flesh to understand how much I need it.

Love it! Just purchased one…

I agree completely and will most likely buy it.

The price is crazy high for what is offered and this being an IWC

Great vid. Seen as AP only make Royal Oaks and Code 11.59s or whatever they're called it's fairly safe to say the brand wouldn't have survived without the Genta designed RO.

I think it looks great, particularly the aqua coloured model, I really like the dial design.

Love it. Great review. All I’ve got to say. Paul.

Very cool. Like that blue-green color!

I have been waiting for this for a while and finally it is out. I love it, everything is very well done and I would buy it in a heartbeat if it wasn't for the missing micro adjustment on the bracelet. Such a missed opportunity. What a shame.

Had one of these twenty years ago. Its good to see that its not a clunker as was the case with mine. It was just too unwieldy. They say once bitten twice shy because I lost a lot of money on mine when I flipped it.

Hey! Great channel, love your videos 😊👍 Just want to point out about the see-through back suggestion, IWC couldn’t do it because then the watch wouldn’t be as antimagnetic and it couldn’t be an Ingenieur if it had.

Thank you for this coverage, Adrian. I love the way integrated bracelet watches look in the abstract, but never like any of them on the wrist. Not sure what it is.

Hey Adrian, great videos coming out! Just wondering if you think the price point is reasonable or fair for what it is offering? Do you think it’s trying to compete against the royal oak or nautilus or something else?

Thank you for this review. I knew IWC was a good watch maker but a Gerald Genta watch, wow. I will consider this one since it has a rough sexy style.

Did you review the mark xx? Have been on the lookout for that review!

Great video (as always). I just put my deposit down for the Silver Vsn. It seems they now have the option to choose the micro-adjustment or stay with the one shown at W&W. Do you guys think I should go with the micro-adjustment? Will it make the watch look or feel any different?

One of the nicest looking watches I’ve seen for a long time

Ah this could be the first modern IWC I would be willing to buy. The obvious one to go for is the black, I know 100% that aqua is a fashion trend that will most probably look ridiculous in a few years and yet, it really is very very tempting. Good video.

Wow, I just finished watching the about effing time episode yesterday, where you guys talked about how much you would like to see IWC bring back this watch. You guys can see into the future haha

Good review. Any micro adjustment? I’m sorely tempted although quite pricey

I’ve been excited for the redesign for ages upon ages. I’m looking forward to seeing it in person.

this is fantastic news!..........ingenieur going back to its roots!.............ben waiting this since VC went vintage

Just love it. My favorite is the titanium one. As an engineer, I already have the Railmaster. This will be my next. Unfortunately Rolex discontinued the Milgauss before I could get one

What I've been waiting for!!!!!

I was waiting this watch. 🎉

12,000 chf! WHAT? No micro adjustment! No display back when the technology is there for amagnetism without an iron core..........

I think it's a great step to revive the Genta design again. I was crying to see the 'new' (now 'old') one after the famous 3239 iteration - which is still the best looking Ingenieur today imho. This brand new 38901 is very true to the original Genta design and I kind like it. BUT I think there are multiple problems: They have heavily increased the price, the way cheaper Pilot's watch Mark XX has the same movement and even the great adjustable clasp. And their just mentioned Pilot's watch is nowaday more iconic to me as they kept this simple design for years with just slight improvements. So for me this is the way better deal if you want an IWC with a great Inhouse movement with a much better clasp design.

What were your thoughts on the clasp? I have a super hard time getting a good fit on watches with butterfly clasps.

Spot on, love it

Great review! How does the finishing compare to a laureato?

That looks brilliant!

To be fair the dive watch too is timeless. Designed in 1953 and relevant still today

Really want this watch. Wish it were cheaper but at the same time I think they priced it perfectly, putting it up against the Laureato!

Awesome watch, awesome vid Adrian. Any idea on the 💷? Want one 🤪

It’s just a magnificent looking watch❤

I really like it IWC has done a amazing job

That is pretty cool to be fair. I like the aqua. The lug to lug is exceeds my appetite, but i reckon that's not quite as applicable a measurement with integrated bracelets... Need to try one on!

Brilliant! I love it! The case and bracelet are nicely improved but prefer the dial, indices, hands and logo/text of the original. Won't stop me from grabbing one though....but now the which colour? hmm....

You appreciate IWC craftsmanship when it’s in your hands.

I have a blue Mark XX and would love to add this in black or white someday!

I love your black shirt - where did you get it?

Love that you own a Mark XX, IWC is not talked about enough.

I had the hint in my visit to Schauffausen that it was coming. Finally

Jesus! Gentleman Gerry has designed all my faves.

Great video Adrian When is the Mark XX review coming?

Great video Adrian, Is it COSC or Metas certified and is there any way to put a leather strap on?

My favorite release this year.

This has similar specs to the much cheaper Baume et Mercier Riviera with the Baumatic BM12-1975A movement. 120hours 28,800 and 21 jewels. Is it the same movement ?

Adrian, when did you make the IWC mark XX part of your collection? Or have i missed something? Would you change the Mark XX for the Ingenieur 40??

This was mentioned to me in 2020. When I asked if the 323909 Blue laureus limited edition was available. Fantastic but they should have brought it out earlier.

I think this is brilliant! a Classic iconic watch with a modern twist

Love the aqua dial. Not too late gonna be hot watch when released 🤔IWC made a great move.

Absolutely gorgeous 😍

Pricey but nice! Love the new crown gaurds.

Hey just wondering do you have straps for a Tissot PRX ? Something to think about.

If this had a plum dial I'd be ALL over it! I do like the blue-green dial though!

Damn gorgeous. IWC is killing it (again). Ok, I drooled on my shirt again seeing these. Whatever. 😎

One of the things that we have in common is that we both love tool watches. They are simple, convenient, masculine and practical.

Love that watch, it's very nice. Too bad the back is not transparent. Is that one you bought?

I may just have to buy this. It's the coolest ss sports watch besides the offshore imo.

Finally iwc. Of course they couldn’t put the iwc at 12 but they got the dial right so I’m not complaining

The B&J ad at the end! Hahahaha! Good video though! And a beautiful watch

Adrian I’m curious how you measured 39mm, was it across just the steel bezel or the whole case including those little margins before the crown guards?

I just started to like the bremont Supernova, nut the IWC is the real deal/ Great video.

They certainly jacked the price up on this one!

cheers, how do you feel about the price btw. Here in Europe they are asking 13K, that is quite a lot. What do you think?
