A new UTC model, the 105 St Sa UTC with dual time functionality on a 24-hour scale, joins Sinn’s Instrument Watch collection in the new sporty Series 105 sub-category. When you read about the launch of GMTs or world timers, most brands try to conjure a glamorous world of first-class travel experiences. Forget about flowery […]
Sinn, the German watchmaker with a forte in instrument watches, revisits a racing stopwatch from the 1970s complete with the historical “bullhead” design. Although this new model takes its design cues from a vintage and original chronograph, the Sinn R500 Chronograph is made from contemporary high-strength titanium with racy design features. A stopwatch designed for […]
The 3rd of October is an important date for German citizens, probably the most important day in their recent history. On 3 October 1990, both sides of Germany (GDR and DDR, split since 1949) were reunited following the Fall of the Berlin Wall a year before. As a German watch manufacturer, reunification is important for […]
The chronograph, one of our favourite features and one of the most complex types of movement around, continues to be one of the most popular and practical complications. Chronographs can be started, stopped and reset to measure short (or longer) intervals of time. Over the years, these were adapted and rethought into specialized tools. Being […]
If you’re into retro-looking, precious and trendy (desk) dive watches, the following watch isn’t for you. What’s coming below is modern, utilitarian, over-engineered and very German indeed. No surprises, it’s a new Sinn watch. Well known for its pilot’s chronographs, the brand also has a solid track record in diving instruments, one of the best […]
Sinn has a long reputation for no-nonsense, well-priced, military-spec watches with functional design, instrumental technical solutions and, overall, a sense of durability. This resulted in great, technical-looking watches but also in a certain lack of coolness. The brand has, however, recently shown some evolutions by introducing more “fun” into the design, yet without forgetting its […]
Sinn’s dedication to tool, pilot and military watches is undeniable. The brand is one of the main specialists in this field, with a full range of no-nonsense, robust and effective watches at reasonable prices. References such as the 103, the 140 or the 356 need no introduction anymore. However, if there was only one to […]
It has become a recurring thing for magazines Revolution and The Rake to offer limited edition watches to their readers. Some of them, such as the Bell & Ross Bellytanker or the Chopard Salmon Dial, were surprisingly pleasant. Today’s collab watch goes one step further and the result is the epitome of cool. Indeed, Revolution […]
With the Swatch Group gone from Baselworld 2019, the “Value Proposition” category, meaning watches under EUR 2,500, has been seriously affected. Brands like Tissot, Mido, Hamilton or Longines usually perform well in this segment. Nevertheless, this doesn’t mean we haven’t seen some cool things at Baselworld this year (and around the fair too). Here are […]
A bezel is a simple but extremely effective tool letting you perform all sorts of tasks: from timing a dive to calculating the average speed of a motorbike, from gauging your fuel supply or the distance of incoming fire to consulting the time in Japan, a bezel gets the job done and jacks up the functionality of your watch. The trick is deciphering what all the markings on the bezel or on the dial (in that case, we talk scales) represent and how to use them.
