IWC, known as the "Engineer of Fine Watchmaking", first began producing the Ingenieur watches in 1955. The rugged, masculine feel of the Ingenieur collection, most of which have major shock absorption, make the time pieces perfect for all kinds of land adventures. Recently, Tom Cruise has been seen wearing the Ingenieur Automatic Vintage watch, a throwback to the original model first produced in 1955, that retails for $38,000.
