In 2016, IWC introduced a trio of limited-edition Ingenieur watches that brought forth a refreshing spin on the collection’s aesthetics. To everyone’s surprise, these watches were not an iteration of the Gerald Genta design sensibility that had informed the collection’s form since its inception but were inspired by the Ingenieur reference 666 from 1955. These were elegant, modern watches suffused with vintage appeal.

One of the three models, the IWC Ingenieur Chronograph Edition W 125 borrows its name and design cues from the the Mercedes-Benz W 125 Silver Arrow. It measures 42.0mm by 15.2mm and is lightweight with a titanium case and bracelet. Swathes of brushed and polished finishes define the case, bezel, and lugs, pulling off a luxurious visage.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
