This line is an alternative to the Orient Bambino line, which I really do like. Can't find the Bambino new for under $100 certainly not with a display case back. I look for great deals and found an Ingersoll New Haven variant with a rose gold case and white dial with medium brown leather croc strap for... wait for it... drumroll... $35!!! Ta Daaaaaa plus shipping and tax. Tally was ~$47. I think it hits most of the vintage styling elements. I recently found a Rotary vintage style dress watch that is virtually identical to the Ingersoll New Haven. YES, many (most) watch manufacturers use Chinese companies to stay competitive and survive as a brand name. At least the movement is Japanese from a good company. I think it's a great dress watch, especially for the money! The box, thick book, and stainless steel paperweight are nice but they are in a cardboard box in my closet-only good resale later on.
Daniel's Watch Collection well...its already broke. Big rattle inside the watch, it stil functions but the rattle is absolutely insane. Hope this doenst happen with al the ingersoll watches because i really like them.
Hey Daniel, great review. Since it's been two years since you got this watch, can you tell me how is it right now? Does it work the same? Do you recommend it? Thanks.
@@danielswatchcollection9229 no..it's not bad at all...just let people know that the company is now owned by Hongkong based Company and the brand itself was american not british..
Sorry, both wrong, that is a Miyota 821A movement, made by citizen in Japan. The rest of the watch is made in China. It is a very good watch for a great price, I think.
That is a good question! I think it has to do with the "cheap" chinese movement inside. These chinese movement dont have the best reputation and will depreciate
£330? Hard pass. Get an Orient Bambino and save £220. Is it really English? Pretty sure it's owned by a Hong Kong company and they're made in China. The '1892' and English/US heritage is next to meaningless at this point.
I really like my Ingersoll watch, but are you really 100% sure that one was made in New Jersey? The rest of the watch community is pretty solid on them being owned by Zeon Holdings, a UK subsidiary of a Hong Kong company which bough the British side of Ingersoll in the 90s. The US side went bankrupt after the WW2. They range from using Chinese Huangzhou movements, which you can find online and order separately for about $20 or - probably much better - Seagull movements. Ingersoll just brand the rotor in either case. The company is firmly rooted in China and I would be very surprised if any of the product line has been near a US watchmaker. Grey market they go for about $100 if you don't mind waiting for the model you want to come up, which is great value. I wouldn't pay more than $200 personally. I don't understand the point of the expensive box. Just put the value into the watch; that's what people are buying.
Who’s going to wear a wooden box and what value does a tin card hold? For the life of me I don’t understand why these guys spend time mesmerizing a glorified shopping bag.
Brother, relax. It signifies a bigger picture. It shows that the company care about the products and are willing to put a bit of money into presenting it in a nice and elegant way
I was only interested in the watch, the rest was an expensive gimmick that’s past on to you in the cost of buying that watch. As for the watch, sadly it was far too thick and bulky, looked heavy, again an exhibition case, just like all the others, offended by that strap, again, yet another gimmick. It’s a shame they couldn’t have made something like a reissue from the 1950’s using 1950’s components, other than what other watch makers were making in 2023. Would I buy it, no, I have some 1950’s Ingersoll’s, much better quality, don’t get me wrong, as that watch was an achievement to be proud of, sadly not for me.
It's a very average, underwhelming watch with a shitty Miyota 8215 movement, the same movement that has a piss poor reputation for stutter and failure. Get you facts right!
Just purchase this today! And it’s beautiful!
just got a Michigan yesterday. good watch.

Idiot Sandwich that is very sad to hear. Sorry about that. Hope you get a refund, or get it repaired! Good luck

Hey Daniel, great review. Since it's been two years since you got this watch, can you tell me how is it right now? Does it work the same? Do you recommend it? Thanks.
It's US Brand with chinese movement machines
Miror Imaji and that is a bad thing how?
@@danielswatchcollection9229 Its an old American brand and its not from the UK or unknown ?
@@danielswatchcollection9229 no..it's not bad at all...just let people know that the company is now owned by Hongkong based Company and the brand itself was american not british..

Thanks @@dultanur
Why are Ingersoll watches so cheap now? I got the Linden for 99.00 and they said it retails for 500???!? How is this possible?
That is a good question! I think it has to do with the "cheap" chinese movement inside. These chinese movement dont have the best reputation and will depreciate
