Happy birthday Herr Klaus! It's an honour to have met you a few times. Unfortunately I have no picture of you but I'm quite a fan of the Perpetual Calender you invented so many years ago:

I wish you many happy returns and hope to see you again at the next IWC Collectors Forum Meeting!

Kind regards,

Clemens

Wow, that's awesome! Great to see you had a wonderful time and that Aquatimer rocks!

Cool picture, checking the antimagnetic properties of the watch like this.

Good morning all, today is the 23'th birthday of this magnificent IWC Forum. I hope you all enjoy your visits here and of course your IWC timepieces.

I started this day with a swim, wearing my beloved IWC Ingenieur 3227 Ken Noguchi:

I then switched to my latest edition, the new IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40 with the Aqua dial. This dial keeps surprising me with how the dial color changes under different lighting:

Have a wonderful Forum Anniversary and maybe you can share a picture of the watch you're wearing today?

Kind regards,

Clemens

Mail sent, looking forward to the event and seeing many of you!

I just notice there is no Big Pilot Perpetual Lake Tahoe in this thread!

It's an awesome watch and I love wearing it.

So great to see that IWC offers this possibility to it's loyal fans. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this year. I wish everyone lots of fun and keep us posted with reports and pictures!

Kind regards,

Clemens

Wow, awewome! I somehow missed this post so belated congratulations on this beauty!

Kind regards,

Clemens

The sun came out so I had to take another shot!

When your first idea at swapping watches is to go put the new one on because it never saw snow before 😜

What boutique told you that? I know it's not the recommended route and it might not look the nicest but if you really need the adjustability it is an option to put the Flieger clasp on it.

Wow, so different and both stunning pieces!

Interesting, I saw the new Ingenieur at W&W too and wasn't shown that kind of bracelet. I've not heard anything about it either. If you mean an adjustable clasp (length wise) there is an option by swapping out the butterfly clasp for one of the Pilots watches (not sure what model).

Kind regards,

Clemens

Same watch, charged the lume and took this picture in pretty low light. The dial looks pretty black like this!

Hello all,

Just want to share my joy of getting a beautiful new watch for Christmas, the IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40 with the green (also called Aqua) dial!

It's a stunning piece and the watch really looks and feels worth every penny. I'm a huge fan of the Ingenieur 3227 which is also great but the new Ingenieur feels so much more high-class than the older model.

The new butterfly clasp took me a day or two to get used to but now it works like a charm, you just have to get the hang of it. The bracelet comes with two links that are slightly longer than the rest and depending on your wrist size you can fine-adjust it pretty well. As on the old Ingenieur and many other IWC watches the bracelet can be easily adjusted.

The dial color is lovely and changes a lot depending on the lighting. I haven't had the chance yet to capture it in much different settings but here are a few pictures I took so far:

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year and wish you a Happy New Year!

Kind regards,

Clemens
