The Ingersoll Spirit I15802 is a masterclass in mechanical theatre. This 46.7mm automatic timepiece showcases a fully skeletonised dial that reveals the intricate dance of its self-winding movement, complemented by a functioning moon phase complication at 12 o'clock. The architectural open-worked design exposes the heart of the mechanism, where gold-toned gears and bridges create a mesmerising visual spectacle against the silver-toned skeleton framework.

Crafted entirely in stainless steel, this substantial watch commands presence on the wrist without sacrificing wearability. The integrated stainless steel bracelet mirrors the case's polished and brushed finishes, creating a cohesive aesthetic that speaks to Ingersoll's heritage of precision engineering. The 15mm case depth houses the automatic calibre with sufficient depth to accommodate the moon phase complication and the intricate skeletonisation work that defines this model.

FAQ

Q: What is a skeleton dial and how does it work?

A: A skeleton dial removes the traditional solid dial plate to reveal the inner workings of the watch movement. In the Spirit I15802, you can observe the gears, bridges, and oscillating balance wheel in motion, providing a transparent view into the mechanical heart of the timepiece. This showcases the craftsmanship and engineering of the automatic movement.

Q: Does this watch need a battery?

A: No, the Ingersoll Spirit I15802 is powered by an automatic (self-winding) mechanical movement. It winds itself through the natural motion of your wrist as you wear it. If the watch stops after not being worn, simply wind it manually using the crown or wear it for a few hours to build up the power reserve.

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, full moon, and waning crescent over a 29.5-day period. This traditional complication adds both aesthetic beauty and astronomical functionality to the timepiece.

Q: Is this watch too large for smaller wrists?

A: At 46.7mm, the Spirit I15802 is a substantial timepiece designed to make a statement. It wears best on medium to larger wrists (17cm and above). We recommend visiting our Mall of the South boutique to try it on and assess the fit personally, as wrist shape and personal preference play a significant role in comfort.

Q: Can I swim or shower with this watch?

A: With 50 metres (5 ATM) water resistance, the Spirit I15802 can withstand splashes and brief immersion, such as washing hands or light rain. However, we do not recommend swimming, showering, or any water sports with this watch. The skeleton dial design and complications make it more suitable as a dress watch rather than a water-activity timepiece.

Q: How often does an automatic watch need servicing?

A: We recommend servicing your automatic watch every 3-5 years to maintain optimal performance. This includes cleaning, lubricating, and adjusting the movement. Our watch servicing and repairs team at Cassim & Co. can handle all maintenance requirements for your Ingersoll timepiece.

Q: Is the bracelet adjustable and what is included in the box?

A: Yes, the stainless steel bracelet is fully adjustable. We offer complimentary bracelet sizing at our Mall of the South boutique at the time of purchase. The watch comes in the official Ingersoll presentation box with warranty card and instruction manual.

  • Avoid impacts, shocks, and extreme temperature changes which can affect the delicate mechanical movement
  • Have the water resistance tested annually if you expose the watch to water, as gaskets degrade over time
