The IWC Ingenieur Automatic 35 50th Anniversary, Reference IW324909, offers a more compact interpretation of the Gérald Genta-inspired Ingenieur while marking the 50th anniversary of the original Ingenieur SL.
Some rare versions of the original Reference 1832 even featured a flat, silver-plated dial with a vertical brushed finish, which IWC has brought back for the anniversary release, and the execution is genuinely brilliant. In flat, indirect light, the dial takes on a clean, understated, almost pearlescent silver hue. But when you tilt your wrist in direct sunlight, those vertical lines catch the light, revealing a raw, metallic grain that mirrors the satin-brushed finish of the case and bracelet.
The Ingenieur Automatic 35 50th Anniversary offers a completely different wrist experience, with balanced proportions. IWC responded by introducing this 35.1mm option, which features a very slim 9.4mm profile. Because of the wide, angular tonneau case and the broad H-link bracelet, it has the visual presence of a traditional 37mm or 38mm watch. Instead of looking undersized, it looks precisely fitted. At under 10mm thick, it slips easily under a tight shirt cuff without catching.
Turning the 35mm model over reveals a feature that many enthusiasts will appreciate: a sapphire crystal display caseback. Because of the tighter dimensions, IWC skipped the thick soft-iron inner cage used in the larger versions, opening up a view of the IWC-manufactured Calibre 47110. This movement features circular graining and a large rotor decorated with the company's "Probus Scafusia" gold medallion. It provides a 42-hour power reserve.
The bezel is now held in place by five functional, polygonal screws that secure directly into the case ring. The visual contrast between the brushed H-shaped links and the polished rectangular centre links works incredibly well. The way the bracelet narrows is also highly refined, transitioning smoothly from the wide case down to a well-engineered butterfly folding clasp.
Limited to 1,150 pieces globally, keeping the model rare enough to maintain long-term collector interest.
