IWC Ingenieur 40mm Ancient DNA Archaeogeneticist Automatic Steel Watch

The IWC Ingenieur 40mm Ancient DNA Archaeogeneticist is the Swiss luxury watch for those who extract and sequence genetic material from bones that are forty thousand years old and use it to reconstruct the population history of our species — ancient DNA laboratory directors, palaeogenomics researchers, and those of deep-human-history discipline who understand that the sequencing of the Neanderthal genome in 2010 was one of the most disorienting discoveries in the history of science, because it revealed that the people reading the results were not the descendants of the people who had replaced the Neanderthals but were, in part, the Neanderthals: that modern humans outside Africa carry one to four percent Neanderthal DNA, the physical residue of interbreeding events that occurred between sixty and eighty thousand years ago, when the ancestors of every non-African person alive today passed through the same landscapes where Neanderthals had lived for three hundred thousand years. Its 40mm stainless steel case delivers the Ingenieur's precision-engineered authority with cleanroom laboratory, deep-human-history confidence, and the Swiss automatic movement executing with the Neanderthal-genome-era, forty-thousand-year-archive-worthy mechanical reliability that reading the deepest chapter of the human story eventually demands.
