It wouldn\u2019t be Wimbledon without a spectacle, so allow us to present to you Swazi-British actor Richard E. Grant rocking a white linen suit, sand-colored vest, sky-blue shirt, Union Jack tie, and two watches. The theme here was clearly two-tone all around: on Grant\u2019s left wrist was a steel-and-red-gold Breitling Navitimer B01 Chronograph on a black leather strap, while on his right was something much more svelte\u2014namely, a Santos de Cartier in steel and 18k yellow gold on a matching two-tone bracelet. Why the double-wristing? Grant\u2019s father passed down the Navitimer<\/a>, which he keeps set to local time, while the Cartier<\/a> is kept on Swaziland time to honor his birthplace.<\/p>\n

Andrew Garfield\u2019s IWC Ingenieur Automatic 35\"Image\"Image<\/p>\n

The best place to look for unreleased watches over the past couple of years? A celebrity\u2019s wrist. That rule proved true again at Wimbledon, where Andrew Garfield<\/a> wore this cool midsize IWC Ingenieur<\/a> while it was still fully under wraps. Now, however, the news has officially broken, and we know it to be the new Ingenieur Automartic 35 ref. IW324902. The Ingenieur is one of the less heralded designs from the watch industry\u2019s most famous designer, G\u00e9rald Genta<\/a>, who is also responsible for the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak and Patek Philippe Nautilus. Since re-releasing the Ingenieur in 2023, IWC has slowly expanded its presence in the catalog. This started with new sizes, like the 35-mm \u201cSL\u201d version on Garfield\u2019s wrist, and an increasingly large assortment of colors. The new new blue-green \u201cPool\u201d color makes it the perfect bit of wristwear for summer outings.<\/p>\n
