A Discussion around IWC's Controversial Ingenieur, looking at how both its Design and overall Price should be better in order for it to stand out from the many other Genta inspired sports watches already on the market. With an aim to create a more masculine and minimalist design, the brand seems to have lost the character that this piece desperately deserves and could have looked as far back as the 1950's for inspiration instead of only linking it to a 70's Design.
