💥 Brad Pitt’s new F1 movie might be about racing — but for watch nerds, the real story is on his wrist. In this episode, Chris and Julien break down the IWC Ingenieur worn by Pitt’s character Sonny Hayes — a custom-built piece inspired by Gérald Genta’s 1970s design.

We look at why this IWC isn’t just a prop — it’s a narrative tool. From engineering roots to emotional storytelling, the Ingenieur embodies everything IWC stands for: precision, durability, and legacy.

💪 How it stacks up against Patek Philippe & Audemars Piguet
