Sinn Swiss

The technical innovations that he and his employees, comprising master watchmakers, journeymen, administrators, engineers, and technicians, have already applied have been enthusiastically received both by the general public and watch connoisseurs. They are the reason that Sinn has become such an insider tip among aficionados. One example of Sinn’s expertise in problem solving is the soundness of the watches crafted in “submarine” steel that are outfitted with Sinn’s own Hydro technology, allowing them to reach extreme diving depths without showing signs of condensations.

Another is a chronometer with twenty times more protection against magnetic fields than the already strict norm dictates. Its movement is also extremely shock resistant. Then there are models outfitted with ideal protection against movement aging thanks to a protective gas filling their cases and a dehumidifying capsule integrated into the case. Lubrication and tolerance technologies ensuring that a mechanical watch does not fail at temperatures ranging from -45°C to +80°C and the Diapal technology, which sees materials chosen for the most important functional areas so that no lubrication is needed, are also noteworthy. And let us not forget the Tegiment technology, which makes stainless steel as hard as 1,500 Vickers and thus to a great extent impervious to scratching. Continuous extending of the lines, which now also include some elegant models for ladies and shiny pieces for evening wear, has transported Sinn from the ranks of watch companies only known to insiders to a recognized brand name among a larger public.

And this is despite the fact that in Germany, where the company is headquartered, these timepieces can only be bought directly from the factory or select depots at a more than convincingly low price. In the United States, Sinn’s products are only available through the company’s official distributor. These factors ensure a price-performance ratio that is very, very hard to beat.
