Our Thoughts
I had the opportunity to handle all the Ingenieur models at Watches and Wonders Geneva. With roots in Gérald Genta’s original Ingenieur SL of the 1970’s, the modern Ingenieur is among the most handsome and versatile integrated bracelet watches in the world, each powered by robust and dependable automatic movements. Given the different case sizes and choice of metals, there is something for every taste and budget. The Ingenieur 40 Green-Dial is among my six top picks from Geneva. It will make its on-screen debut in Apple Original Film’s F1 movie scheduled for release in June. The Ingenieur Perpetual Calendar really impressed me as well.
