IWC Posts a Bench Film of Watchmaker Florian Salzer Building the Ingenieur Automatic 40
A quiet look at how the in-house Caliber 32111 comes together, one component at a time.
The film IWC posted on July 28, 2026 is quiet: no drama, just the appeal. Florian Salzer assembles the blue-dial IW328907 step by step, from the bare movement plate to the last of the five bezel screws, a detail IWC credits to Gérald Genta.
The winding assembly deserves a closer look. Instead of a reversing wheel train, the 32111 relies on pawl winding: small pivoting fingers that convert bidirectional rotor swings into unidirectional winding for a single barrel. The movement’s power reserve, per IWC, is 120 hours.
Also per that description: soft-iron inner case, integrated bracelet.
