The Ingersoll The Jazz I07706 is a striking demonstration of mechanical artistry, featuring a fully skeletonised dial that reveals the intricate architecture of its automatic movement. This 42mm timepiece combines robust stainless steel construction with rose gold PVD accents, creating a sophisticated two-tone aesthetic that commands attention. The open-worked dial showcases a moon phase complication at 12 o'clock, alongside visible gearing and a beautifully finished 22-jewel automatic movement that powers this exceptional watch.
At Cassim & Co., we are proud to present this example of accessible haute horlogerie from Ingersoll's 1892 collection. The Jazz model pays homage to the brand's American heritage while delivering contemporary complications and finishing. The bi-colour bracelet features brushed and polished links in both stainless steel and rose gold PVD, secured by a folding clasp that ensures comfort and security on the wrist. Water-resistant to 50 metres, this timepiece is built for daily wear while maintaining its mechanical sophistication.
The skeletonised architecture allows you to appreciate the interplay between the silvered bridges, exposed jewels, and gold-toned movement components with every glance. Arabic numerals at 12 and 6 o'clock provide legibility, while the rose gold hands sweep across the mechanical canvas beneath. This level of visual complexity and mechanical transparency is rarely found at this price point, making The Jazz an exceptional value proposition for collectors and enthusiasts alike.

FAQ
Q: Is this watch fully automatic or does it require manual winding?
A: The Ingersoll Jazz I07706 features a fully automatic movement that winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist. While it can be manually wound via the crown if needed, regular wear will keep it running continuously. If the watch stops due to inactivity, a few manual winds or gentle shaking will restart the mechanism.
Q: What is the moon phase complication and how accurate is it?
A: The moon phase indicator at 12 o'clock displays the current lunar phase, cycling through new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter. This mechanical complication adds both visual interest and practical astronomical information. Moon phase accuracy varies by movement; most require adjustment approximately once every 2.5 years.
Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?
A: With 50 metres of water resistance, this watch can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion, but it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. The crown should always be pushed in fully and never operated when wet. For aquatic activities, we recommend a dive watch with at least 100 metres of water resistance.
Q: How long will the watch run on a full wind?
A: Power reserve specifications are not confirmed for this model, but most automatic movements of this type provide approximately 38-42 hours of runtime when fully wound. Regular daily wear will keep the movement wound and running continuously.
Q: Is the rose gold finish durable or will it wear off?
A: The rose gold finish is applied using PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating, which is significantly more durable than traditional gold plating. PVD creates a molecular bond with the steel substrate, offering excellent resistance to scratching and wear. With proper care, the finish will maintain its appearance for many years.
Q: Can the bracelet be adjusted to fit my wrist?
A: Yes, the steel bracelet can be professionally sized by removing or adding links. Our team at Cassim & Co. provides complimentary bracelet sizing with purchase. We recommend visiting our boutique for precise fitting, or you may use any qualified watchmaker if purchasing for delivery.
Q: Does this watch have a GMT function as mentioned in the specifications?
A: While some sources reference a GMT function, visual inspection of the dial does not confirm a separate GMT hand or dual timezone capability. The primary complications visible are the moon phase indicator and the skeletonised movement display. We recommend verifying specific functionality requirements with our sales team before purchase.

Care Guide
- Wind your watch regularly if not worn daily, or use a watch winder to maintain consistent operation of the automatic movement.
- Avoid exposing the watch to strong magnetic fields from speakers, mobile phones, or magnetic clasps, which can affect timekeeping accuracy.
- Keep the crown pushed in fully during wear and never operate it when wet or submerged.
- Clean the case and bracelet periodically with a soft, lint-free cloth. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly.
- Avoid impact, extreme temperatures, and chemical exposure including perfumes, solvents, and cleaning products which may damage the PVD coating or seals.
- Have your watch professionally serviced every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance, including movement cleaning, lubrication, and gasket replacement.
- Store the watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. A watch box or pouch will protect it from dust and scratches.
