I wish someone would replica/franken this:

It's a rerelease of the vintage ingenieur auto. Absolutely gorgeous watch, beautifully simplistic design.

That is a very nice watch.

Agreed, she's a beauty.

Maybe a little bit too thick for my taste

Wow yeah, agreed, 14.5mm, didn't realise that it was that chunky, it is very thick for a dressy watch, it would have a similar profile to a diver, ....12-ish mm would've been a nicer profile for this type of design. Still a beauty though!

It is a but curious, JLC released the Master Control ultra-thin around the same time, but I suppose this is harkening back to the days when anti-magnetic watches were new and more for function and intended for engineers.

It really reminds me of the PP calatrava 5127.

Yeah that's classy but 14.5 is a bit thick

[Adeodatus]

A perfect watch. A bit thick for a dress watch, but the dial is so balanced, beautiful combinations of SS on the dial, the hands are a piece of art. I love it.

Beautiful design indeed. But I agree with others above : thickness is too important (IMHO) for a dressy and very classical watch.

I'm noob in rep's world and maybe I'm wrong, but it seems that there are not so many reps of this pure and classical style. It's pity !

if they rep'd this and screwed up the thickness, we'd have an awesome dress watch

kind of hoping the makers will release two versions, one correct and one "flawed"!
