The Ingersoll I15103 from The Broadway collection is a masterclass in contemporary horological design, fusing cutting-edge materials with traditional automatic movement engineering. This 43mm timepiece is crafted entirely from high-tech white ceramic, a material prized for its scratch resistance, hypoallergenic properties, and feather-light comfort on the wrist. The fully skeletonised dial reveals the intricate automatic movement within, showcasing the brand's watchmaking heritage through visible gears, bridges, and jewels that dance with every movement of your wrist.
What truly distinguishes this model is its dual time complication, presented through a distinctive sub-dial at 12 o'clock, allowing the wearer to track a second time zone with ease—ideal for the international traveller or those conducting business across continents. The silvered skeleton dial features applied Arabic numerals on the dual time register and a minute track with precision markers, whilst the open-worked lower section offers a hypnotic view of the movement's beating heart. Water-resistant to 5 ATM (approximately 50 metres), this watch is suitable for everyday wear and incidental splashes, though not intended for swimming or diving.

FAQ
Q: What is the advantage of a ceramic case and bracelet?
A: Ceramic is one of the most scratch-resistant materials used in watchmaking, significantly harder than stainless steel. It's also hypoallergenic, lightweight, and maintains its colour without fading over time. The white ceramic on this Ingersoll model will retain its pristine appearance with minimal maintenance, making it ideal for daily wear.
Q: How does the dual time complication work on the I15103?
A: The dual time function is displayed via the sub-dial at the 12 o'clock position, featuring a 24-hour scale with day/night indication. This allows you to track a second time zone simultaneously with the main time display. The dual time hand is independently adjustable via the crown, making it simple to set and read at a glance.
Q: Does this watch require battery changes?
A: No. The Ingersoll I15103 is powered by an automatic mechanical movement, which winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist. When worn regularly, it does not require a battery. If the watch stops due to being unworn for an extended period, simply wind it manually using the crown or wear it to restart the automatic winding mechanism.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: With a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (50 metres), the I15103 is suitable for splashes, rain, and hand washing, but it is not recommended for swimming, showering, or any water sports. The ceramic case and bracelet are water-resistant, but the movement and crown seals are designed for incidental contact rather than immersion.
Q: How often does an automatic watch need servicing?
A: Automatic mechanical movements should be serviced every 3 to 5 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity. During servicing, the movement is disassembled, cleaned, lubricated, and reassembled by trained watchmakers. Our servicing team can assist with routine maintenance and any adjustments required.
Q: Can the ceramic bracelet be resized?
A: Yes, the ceramic bracelet can be professionally resized by removing or adding links. However, ceramic requires specialised tools and expertise to avoid damage. We recommend having any sizing adjustments performed by our in-house watch technicians at our Mall of the South boutique to ensure the integrity of the bracelet.
Q: What is the power reserve when the watch is fully wound?
A: The specific power reserve for this model has not been confirmed by the manufacturer. Most automatic movements in this category offer between 38 and 42 hours of power reserve when fully wound, meaning the watch will continue running for approximately two days if not worn.

Care Guide
- Daily Wear: Ceramic is highly scratch-resistant but can chip or crack under severe impact. Avoid dropping the watch or striking it against hard surfaces.
- Cleaning: Wipe the ceramic case and bracelet with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap and a soft brush, then dry thoroughly with a microfibre cloth.
- Water Exposure: Rinse the watch with fresh water after exposure to chlorine, salt water, or chemicals. Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or submerged.
- Automatic Movement Care: If the watch stops due to inactivity, gently wind it using the crown (approximately 20-30 turns) or simply wear it to restart the automatic winding mechanism. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the movement.
- Storage: When not in use, store the watch in a cool, dry place away from magnetic fields (speakers, mobile phones, laptops). Consider using a watch winder if you own multiple automatic watches.
- Servicing: Have the movement serviced every 3 to 5 years by a qualified watchmaker to maintain accuracy and lubrication. Bring the watch to our boutique for professional servicing and genuine parts.
- Bracelet Maintenance: Check the butterfly clasp periodically to ensure it closes securely. If you notice any looseness in the bracelet links, visit us for tightening and inspection.
- Avoid: Extreme temperature changes, strong magnetic fields, exposure to chemicals (perfumes, solvents, cleaning agents), and impact sports while wearing the watch.
