The Ingersoll The Broadway Automatic I12902 is a remarkable expression of contemporary horology, blending intricate mechanical artistry with bold aesthetic choices. Housed in a 43mm gold-tone PVD-coated stainless steel case with an integrated bracelet design, this automatic timepiece commands attention with its fully skeletonised dial that reveals the intricate dance of its self-winding movement. The exposed architecture showcases gears, bridges, and the oscillating balance wheel, whilst a moon phase complication at 12 o'clock adds both visual interest and practical astronomy to the wearer's wrist. This is a watch for the collector who appreciates the engineering beneath the surface.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to be an authorised retailer for INGERSOLL watches, ensuring that every timepiece we supply is covered by the full manufacturer's warranty and after-sales support network. The Broadway I12902 features a dual time function with AM/PM indicator subdial, making it an ideal companion for frequent travellers or those who maintain connections across time zones. The gold-toned hands and applied hour markers complement the warm case finish, whilst the hardened mineral crystal protects the complex dial architecture from scratches and impacts.
This automatic movement requires no battery, instead harnessing the natural motion of your wrist to wind the mainspring. Water-resistant to 5 ATM (approximately 50 metres), the watch is suitable for everyday wear including splashes and brief immersion, though not suitable for swimming or diving. The substantial bracelet features a secure deployment clasp and can be sized to fit your wrist perfectly by our experienced team. For ongoing maintenance and adjustments, our watch servicing and repairs team is always on hand to ensure your Ingersoll continues to perform flawlessly for years to come.
The Broadway collection draws inspiration from mid-century American optimism and the architectural grandeur of New York's theatre district, reinterpreted through a modern lens. The skeletonised dial pays homage to the transparency and honesty of fine watchmaking, where nothing is hidden and every component serves a purpose. Whether you're building a collection or seeking a statement piece that bridges formal and casual occasions, the I12902 delivers distinctive presence on the wrist. Visit us at our Mall of the South boutique to experience this exceptional timepiece in person and discover why Ingersoll has captivated watch enthusiasts since 1892.

FAQ
Q: Does this watch require a battery?
A: No, the Ingersoll Broadway I12902 features an automatic (self-winding) mechanical movement that is powered by the natural motion of your wrist. There is no battery to replace. When worn regularly, the movement will maintain power reserve. If the watch stops due to inactivity, simply wind it manually using the crown or wear it to restart the automatic winding mechanism.
Q: What is the dual time function and how do I use it?
A: The dual time function allows you to track a second time zone simultaneously. The watch features an AM/PM indicator subdial that shows whether the second time zone is in morning or afternoon hours. This is particularly useful for travellers or anyone who regularly communicates with contacts in different time zones. Consult the instruction manual for specific setting procedures.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: With a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 metres), this watch is suitable for splashes, brief immersion, and everyday activities like handwashing or getting caught in rain. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or any water sports. The crown should always be pushed fully in to maintain water resistance, and extreme temperature changes (like hot showers) can compromise seals.
Q: What does the moon phase complication display?
A: The moon phase complication at 12 o'clock displays the current phase of the lunar cycle, rotating through new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning crescent over approximately 29.5 days. This traditional complication adds both aesthetic appeal and astronomical functionality to the watch.
Q: Will the gold colour wear off over time?
A: The watch features PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating, which is a highly durable process that bonds gold-tone material at the molecular level to the stainless steel base. PVD coating is significantly more resistant to wear, scratching, and fading than traditional plating methods. With proper care and regular maintenance, the finish should remain lustrous for many years.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet can be professionally sized to fit your wrist perfectly. We recommend visiting our Mall of the South boutique where our experienced staff can adjust the bracelet for you at no additional charge with your purchase. Links can be added or removed to achieve the ideal fit.
Q: Is this watch covered by a manufacturer's warranty?
A: Yes, when purchased from Cassim & Co. as an authorised Ingersoll retailer, this watch is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty from the date of purchase. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. Please retain your warranty card and proof of purchase.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Avoid exposing your watch to strong magnetic fields (speakers, laptops, magnetic clasps), extreme temperatures, or sudden impacts that could affect the movement's precision.
- Water Resistance: Although water-resistant to 5 ATM, always ensure the crown is fully pushed in and never operate the crown or pushers whilst the watch is wet or submerged. Avoid hot showers, saunas, and swimming.
- Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning of the bracelet, use a soft brush with mild soapy water, rinse briefly, and dry thoroughly with a soft cloth. Avoid getting water near the crown.
- Movement Care: If you don't wear your automatic watch daily, it may stop. To restart, gently wind the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 turns, then set the time. Wearing the watch regularly keeps the movement wound and maintains accuracy.
- Storage: When not wearing your watch, store it in the original presentation box or a dedicated watch case away from direct sunlight, moisture, and magnetic fields. Consider a watch winder if you own multiple automatic watches.
- Servicing: Automatic movements should be serviced every 3-5 years by a qualified watchmaker to ensure longevity and optimal performance. This includes cleaning, lubrication, and adjustment of the movement. Contact our servicing team for authorised Ingersoll service.
- PVD Coating Care: Whilst PVD coating is highly durable, avoid abrasive materials and harsh chemicals that could scratch or dull the finish. Remove your watch when using cleaning products or engaging in heavy manual work.
- Crown Operation: Always unscrew and pull out the crown gently. When setting the time, avoid turning the hands backwards through midnight as this can damage the calendar mechanism. Push and screw the crown back down firmly after adjustments.
