IWC Ingenieur Officially Certified Chronometer | 34mm Stainless Steel | Ref. 3521
A rare and highly sought-after timepiece, the IWC Ingenieur Chronometer in 34mm stainless steel is a true icon of understated design and horological excellence. This particular piece dates to 1998 and comes complete with its original box, paperwork, and warranty card—stamped in Lugano, Switzerland.
Originally launched in 1993 and discontinued in 2002, this model has become a collector’s favourite due to its limited production run—only a few thousand pieces were made during its brief release window.
Powered by the Jaeger-LeCoultre-manufactured calibre 8872, this ultra-thin automatic movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, features a platinum winding rotor, and delivers a 40-hour power reserve. The movement is officially certified as a chronometer, highlighting IWC’s commitment to precision during this era.
The watch measures 34mm in diameter and just 8.8mm thick, offering a sleek and versatile profile on the wrist. It is running well and keeping accurate time. The condition is excellent for its age, with only light hairline scratches on the case, bezel, and bracelet—consistent with careful wear over time. Notably, the bracelet shows minimal stretch, a testament to its preservation.
The timepiece will come with two spare links and the current bracelet size is 17.5cm.
With its sharp lines, integrated bracelet, and technical pedigree, this Ingenieur represents a golden era of collaboration between IWC and Jaeger-LeCoultre—
