DEAR CUSTOMER,

We know from numerous

conversations that the people

who buy our watches do so out of

conviction. This includes people with

a pronounced afﬁnity to technology

who are fascinated, for example,

by the solutions we have devised

for magnetic ﬁeld protection and

scratch-resistance. Some of our

customers, such as divers, pilots or

the German GSG 9 special police

unit, need to rely on their watch in

their respective careers because

their life depends on it.

They all swear by the high

performance, resilience and

durability, as well as the quality

and precision of these timepieces.

The water and pressure-resistance

data are reviewed and authenticated at regular intervals, as is the case

with our diving watches, for instance. We, for our part, give absolute priority

to functionality, which ultimately determines the design. Our watches only

feature technological attributes that really make sense. All the while, we

remain committed to our guiding principle that products have to speak for

themselves.

The basic question that we ask ourselves is: which innovative technologies

and materials can be employed for our craft and provide solutions for

rendering our watches even more practical for everyday use? It is often worth

indulging in a little lateral thinking to see what is going on in other industrial

sectors or ﬁelds of science. We repeatedly go to the limits of physical

resources to upgrade our watches — with the aim of making what's good

even better. Most of our best developments are yet to come!

I am delighted that you have decided to buy a SINN timepiece and hope

that it will continue to give you pleasure for many years to come.

Yours sincerely, Lothar Schmidt

It was back in 1961 that the pilot and blind-ﬂying instructor Helmut Sinn

founded the company. Since then, we have been committed to producing

high-speciﬁcation mechanical watches. In 1994, the graduate engineer

Lothar Schmidt took control. This marked the beginning of a new era for the

SINN brand, because the new owner took a decisive step towards more

innovation. Under his leadership, new technologies and materials were

introduced, thus providing the crucial incentives for our company's evolution

and gradual emergence as an insiders' tip for lovers of ﬁne watches. Today,

our name stands for technical innovations, much to the delight of both the

trade and our customers alike.

SINN SPEZIALUHREN ZU FRANKFURT AM MAIN

All developments thoroughly tested

Take, for instance, the absolutely condensation-

free and anti-reﬂective diving watch made of

stainless steel — designed with HYDRO Technology.

Other examples include a chronometer

chronograph fashioned from a 22-carat gold

alloy, which is as hard as stainless steel, and a

chronometer whose resistance to magnetic

interference is 20 times greater than normal. Or

those models ﬁlled with protective gas and

featuring an integrated dehumidifying capsule to

counteract moisture inﬁltration and the ageing of

the watch movement. This list would not be

complete without mentioning the development of

so-called Einsatzzeitmesser (EZM) watches for

special police units and border guards, and the

lubrication and tolerance technology that allows

mechanical watches to perform at temperatures

ranging from –45 °C to +80 °C. The 303 KRISTALL

model passed the ﬁre and ice test during the 1998

Yukon Quest sledge dog race that crosses the icy

wilderness of Canada and Alaska, where

temperatures are known to plunge to –40 °C. The

watch was strapped to the arm of some of the

participants on top of their protective clothing.

This was followed in 1999 by the 203 ARKTIS model.

This diving chronograph passed its ﬁeld test in the

North Polar Sea with ﬂying colours.

Innovations and authentications

One of our most important inventions is the oil-free DIAPAL Technology, based

on low-friction materials for the key functional parts of the watch, enabling

them to run without lubrication. This technology was ﬁrst employed in our

jubilee model, the palladium alloy/white gold Frankfurt Financial District

Watch. TEGIMENT Technology, with which SINN achieves a virtually scratch

resistance surface hardness up to 1500 HV (Vickers hardness) for its stainless

steel watches, represents another milestone. Other innovations include diving

watches made from original submarine steel, as used in the construction

of the outer shell of German class 212 submarines. Germanischer Lloyd,

the world's biggest classiﬁcation society providing marine safety services,

has been testing the aspects of water and pressure resistance since 2005.

Moreover, an ofﬁcial authentication process conducted by Germanischer

Lloyd in 2006, SINN diving watches as diving gear for the very ﬁrst time in

the watch making sector and tested them in keeping with European diving

equipment standards. The result: these timepieces passed the temperature

resistance and functionality tests with a sensational success. All test results

are authenticated with signature and seal.

Ongoing advancement in technology and quality

Our top priority is always to develop watches which offer superior

performance — both in daily and in professional use. Which is why our

engineers are working continually to identify which innovative methods,

materials and technologies are best suited for optimising our watches.

Each new development ﬁrst has to undergo rigorous practical tests before

being incorporated. And no watch leaves our workshops before it has

been subjected to thorough checking and ﬁne adjustment by our master

watchmakers.

Workshop modiﬁcations and hand-engraving

From the robust case and the polished crystal

through to elaborate reﬁnements: we make sure

that each and every detail in our watches is ﬁt

for purpose. The same applies to our workshop

modiﬁcations. Only the perfect interaction of all

components and technologies ensures that our

watches can meets all its design speciﬁcations

in full. For example: the SZ02 calibre of our U1000

diving chronograph. The 60 minute scale of

the stop-minute counter is much simpler and

more intuitive to read than the 30 minute scale

commonly found in other watches. The hand

engraving represents a highly personal form

of reﬁnement. If required, our specially trained

master engraver can etch a name, initials,

monograms or symbols onto the rotor, movement

bridge and case back.

PREFACE BY PETER GÖBEL

German Rally Champion 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2006

Sometimes, meeting someone for coffee can be a life-changing event.

In 1987, during the Hunsrück Rally, I invited world champion Walter Röhrl to

join me for a cup of coffee and a piece of cake – and he accepted. Five

years later, the two of us paired up for my very ﬁrst rally. Since then, I’ve been

having the time of my life – since taking up a sport in which time plays such

an important role. Whether you’re dealing with a countdown or a time trial,

one thing is always the same: hours, minutes and seconds mean the differ-

ence between victory and being an also-ran.

Now, after 18 years in rally racing and more than 250 events all over the world

– from small-scale regularity tests to the legendary Dakar Rally – I have seen

again and again that a stopwatch is the most important tool a co-driver and

navigator can have. And if you are fortunate enough to own a chronograph

that was designed and engineered with rally racing in mind, “taking time” is

even more fun, and makes the navigator’s task much easier.
