GTwatch Skrev:Hvad ligger der egentligt i en Ingenieur? En cal 37xxx?

I Ingenieur 3227 ligger der en in-house cal. 80110.

Ak ja, hvem husker ikke de heftige diskussioner i 2004/2005 om IWC in-house cal. 80110 blot var en klon af Valjoux 7750 <!-- s:lol: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_lol.gif" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing" /><!-- s:lol: -->
Jeg fik i hvert fald slettet et par indlæg hist & her ;-]

Fra mit link tidligere har jeg sakset lidt om IWC maskinen mod 7750 - Jeg synes ikke det er så let bare at sige det er samme sag faktisk, men jeg er måske oppe mod langt større eksperter, som ofte har mere færdige meninger :

The movement inside the Ingenieur is IWC’s in house caliber 80110. A common misunderstanding seems to be that this movement is based on ETA/Valjoux 7750. It’s not. As ‘Vorollo’ put it on the IWC forum over at TimeZone: “The original target was to get a highly robust, easy to service and maintain movement which plays in the same “durability-field” as e.g. the Rolex 3135 and the new JLC calibers 972/975/977 etc. Following this target, IWC decided to choose the proven 7750-base as a source of inspiration. Therefore, the 80110 became a mixture of the strengths of the solid 7750-construction and the legendary IWC pellaton winding system, accompanied by IWC’s general quality standards and production knowledge.” So, the 7750 was used as a ’source’ of inspiration. That’s fine by me, because that is a solid movement that has been around for some time now. The famous 7750 ‘wobble’ is not present with IWC caliber 80110, that would probably have kept me from buying it if it was the case. Another fact is that no components between 7750 and 80110 are replaceable/interchangeable.
