The Ingersoll The Jazz Automatic I07708 is a masterful expression of mechanical artistry, where traditional watchmaking meets contemporary design. This 42mm automatic timepiece showcases a captivating skeletonised dial that reveals the intricate dance of its self-winding movement, complete with a moon phase complication at 12 o'clock and a sub-dial at 9 o'clock. The black enamel chapter ring contrasts beautifully with the silvered gears and bridges, creating a visual depth that draws the eye into the very heart of the movement.
Crafted from stainless steel with a polished finish, the case is elegantly proportioned and paired with a Milanese mesh bracelet that delivers both comfort and sophistication. The mineral crystal protects the intricate dial whilst maintaining clarity, and the 50-metre water resistance ensures this watch can accompany you through daily wear with confidence. At Cassims & Co., we are proud to present this exceptional piece from our curated collection of INGERSOLL watches, a brand that has been crafting timepieces of distinction since 1892.
The Jazz collection pays homage to Ingersoll's rich American heritage, blending vintage aesthetics with modern mechanical reliability. The exposed movement architecture is not merely decorative—it is a celebration of horological transparency, inviting the wearer to appreciate every wheel, pinion, and jewel at work. The gold-toned balance wheel visible at 6 o'clock provides a mesmerising focal point, whilst the skeletonised bridges reveal the complexity of the automatic calibre beneath.

FAQ
Q: What powers the Ingersoll Jazz I07708?
A: This watch is powered by an automatic mechanical movement, which means it winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist. There is no battery required. 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 moon phase complication?
A: The moon phase complication at 12 o'clock displays the current phase of the lunar cycle. It is both a practical astronomical function and a beautiful decorative element. The moon phase disc rotates to show the waxing and waning of the moon as it appears in the night sky.
Q: Can I wear this watch whilst swimming?
A: With 50 metres of water resistance, this watch can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion such as handwashing. However, it is not suitable for swimming, showering, or water sports. We recommend removing the watch before any prolonged water exposure to preserve the movement and seals.
Q: How long will the watch run on a full wind?
A: Whilst specific power reserve data for this model is not confirmed, most automatic movements of this type offer between 38 and 42 hours of power reserve when fully wound. For optimal performance, wear the watch regularly or use an automatic watch winder when not in use.
Q: Is the mesh bracelet adjustable?
A: Yes, the stainless steel Milanese mesh bracelet features a deployant clasp that allows for micro-adjustments to achieve a perfect fit. Our team at Cassims & Co. can assist with bracelet sizing at the time of purchase to ensure maximum comfort.
Q: What is a skeletonised dial?
A: A skeletonised dial is one where material has been removed to reveal the working movement beneath. In the Ingersoll Jazz I07708, the dial architecture exposes the gears, bridges, and balance wheel, allowing you to observe the mechanical movement in action—a hallmark of fine watchmaking artistry.
Q: Does this watch come with an international warranty?
A: Yes, the Ingersoll Jazz I07708 is covered by a 2-year international manufacturer's warranty when purchased from an authorised retailer such as Cassims & Co. The warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, and is valid from the date of purchase.

Care Guide
- Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, magnetic fields, or strong shocks, as these can affect the accuracy of the automatic movement.
- Do not operate the crown or any pushers whilst the watch is wet or submerged, as this can compromise the water resistance seals.
- Clean the stainless steel case and Milanese bracelet regularly with a soft, lint-free cloth to remove oils, perspiration, and dirt. For deeper cleaning, use lukewarm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly.
- If the watch stops due to inactivity, gently hand-wind it by rotating the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times, or simply wear it to reactivate the automatic winding rotor.
- Store your watch in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Consider using a watch box or pouch to protect it from dust and scratches.
- Avoid exposure to chemicals, solvents, perfumes, and cosmetics, as these can damage the case finish, seals, and movement components.
- Have your watch serviced every 3-5 years by a qualified watchmaker to ensure optimal performance. This includes movement cleaning, lubrication, and seal replacement.
- Do not attempt to open the case back yourself, as this will void the warranty and may introduce dust or moisture into the movement.
- If your watch loses significant time or stops unexpectedly, bring it to Cassims & Co. for professional assessment and servicing.
