    Hi there,

    I think there is glue on the bottom of my Ingenieur, it won't come off my wrist! I am wearing it since the 25'th and I don't know when this will stop :-)

    A few days before, I measured the Power Reserve and to my surprise it is a whopping 49 hours and 50 minutes!

    The batteries in my watch winder just ran out so my St Ex Chrono and another brand Chrono will stop any time now. The Port Auto, thanks to the seven day power reserve, is still running but it begs for some wrist time....

    Do any of you also have this where one watch gets way more wrist time than usual?

    Kind regards,

    Clemens

    The inner force

    I try and divide the time between the four big watches I have rather evenly, I think they deserve that all, as well as I deserve that. But the watch that is shouting loudest to me, that gets the most forceful NO is the VC Portuguese, so I guess this is my favourite watch right now. It used to be the Saint Exupéry Chrono, but it looses now to both Portugueses, the VC and the Perpetual Calendar, The looser is the titan Inge Automatic, that as it happens got wrist time today.

    Kind regards,
    Paul, wearing titan Inge Automatic

    I have experienced more than 55-hour reserve...

    The Ingenieur Auto is pretty amazing. My CFI does not usually get a lot of wrist time - but I have experienced a better-than-advertised power reserve of about 55-59 hours.

    I've been wearing my Ingenieur a lot too....

    For the longest time I didn't understand the attraction to this IWC line but I'm sold now. On warm & humid days here in the islands the cool metal bracelet is a great alternative to a leather or reptile strap.
