The Ingenieur’s history began in 1954 as a watch designed specifically for engineers and technicians who needed a timepiece that could withstand the rigors of their work. It had to be highly resistant to magnetic fields, which could cause timepieces to run erratically or stop altogether. The Ingenieur achieved this by using a soft iron inner case that shielded the movement from magnetic fields.
IWC’s Technical Director, Albert Pellaton, was credited as being the mastermind behind the iconic watch. Pellaton's initial two calibres were graded to have a protection of 80,000 amperes per meter which was above “16 times the resistance required by the Swiss norm for antimagnetic watches” at the time. For context, the calibres used within both Patek Philippe reference 2570-1 and 3417 from the same period were able to perform in environments up to 450 oersteds (roughly 35,897 amperes per meter).✅Authentic: All watches are authenticated and come with a letter of authenticity
