Ingersoll ; Anyone any experience with this brand

I came around this brand today, And i must say, they looked pretty nice..

http://www.ingersoll-watches.eu/home

The price is obvious in a much lower class so the watch will be too i assume but i wondered is there is somebody who has some experience with them.

Are they any good ?
Are there problems with it?

Any remarkes are welcome.

Thanx.

I have one, a "limited edition" with a complete calendar and a moonphase indicator. I must say that when I bought it it was impulsive and I regret it because the watch is just way too big for my wrist. Besides that I have nothing to say against the brand.

My movement was guaranteed to run within more or less 1 minute per day, they don't have PP movements but are, in my opinion, good for their prices, especially if you buy them online. As well, I must say that they seem to know how to make pretty classy designs, I find them quite nice.

I like the looks of them. I find their designs similar to IWC, however they are larger than I am used to with sizes over 40mm.

I like the design of some of their watches but I do not know anything about their quality and value.

The tourbillons are not especially large and range into the $6K neighborhood. I couldn't find much about their specs, though. They have a difficult niche in the popular (under $500) segment as they are following the trend of "larger the better" and gimmick watches.

Biggest question would be sustainable service availability vs. lines like Hamilton, etc. in a similar segment.

Thanks for the Intel,
I was looking for that calender And moonphase watch, wich i liked very much..
Only thing is size, it's a 44mm, quite a big one in mine opinion.

And yes Marc, the Disney is also an option

The prise is very interesting, under 500€ , but i guess it's not something you've get serviced every once in a while.
Probably just a "as long as it works, keeper".

Thanx everyone for the info.

If you like their watches then by all means pick one up for yourself and enjoy wearing it. There is no rule saying we/you can only wear expensive watches with Brand names such as 'Rolex', Patek Phillip or others.....
I have a couple Casio G-Shocks and really like them and I also have a Luminox which is quite nice as well!!!

Take it easy.....Leo

Unfortunately, I had two bad experiences with two of their models. They have chinese movements, that is not something bad itself but didn't work for me..

Thanks Leo, and i surely would too !
But size is still a bit of an issue... And i just wanted to know about their quality .
And as i read some posts , it's not one of the better ones.

I also looked at a Longiness moonphase, think that would be a better choice then.
But thanks again everyone,

I found a Mickey mouse model with a red leather strap in my attic when I was around 5, if you want to count that as experience...
