Manic Fixie Watches: A Love Letter to Fixed Lug Timepieces
Ingenieur Automatic 35 50th Anniversary
The IWC Ingenieur Automatic 35 50th Anniversary celebrates five decades of Gérald Genta’s iconic Ingenieur SL design in a refined, more compact format. Limited to 1,150 pieces, it features a 35mm stainless-steel case, integrated bracelet and distinctive five-screw bezel, complemented by a brushed silver-plated dial inspired by a rare 1970s Ingenieur SL variant. The anniversary “50” replaces the traditional lightning-bolt logo, while rhodium-plated hands and luminous hour markers enhance legibility.
Inside, IWC Caliber 47110 beats at 4 Hz, offering a 42-hour power reserve and automatic winding. A sapphire caseback reveals its circular graining, Geneva stripes and gold-plated oscillating weight, combining historic character with contemporary finishing.
