@iwcwatches @watchesandwondersofficial #iwc #MONOCHROMEwatches IWC embraces the dark side with the very stealthy new Ingenieur 42 Automatic in all-black ceramic. The brand is known as a materials innovator, and it's expertise in ceramic watchmaking goes back to the mid-1980s as it launched the Da Vinci Perpetual Calendar with a ceramic mid-case. We talk to David Seyffer, Curator of the IWC museum and Stefan Ihnen, Associate Director Technics to learn the ins and outs of this new Ingenieur. And as black slims, visually at least, IWC has been able to play around with size and proportions, and introduce a new movement.
