TECHNICAL DETAILS

SERVICE

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 protection from magnetic ﬁelds

and scratch resistance. Some of our

customers, such as divers, pilots and

the German GSG 9 special police

unit, rely on their watches in their

respective careers because their lives

depend on it.

They all swear by the performance,

resilience and durability, as well

as the quality and precision of our

watches. That is why the world’s

largest classiﬁcation society DNV GL

(formerly Germanischer Lloyd,

Hamburg) regularly tests and certiﬁes

the water and pressure resistance of

our diving watches.

We have selected pilot’s watches tested and certiﬁed to the technical

standard for pilot watches (Technischer Standard Fliegeruhren – TESTAF) by

Aachen University of Applied Sciences. The TESTAF ensures that a pilot’s watch

meets all timekeeping requirements during ﬂight operations in accordance

with visual and/or instrumental ﬂight regulations and is suitable for professional

use. Functionality is our top priority and ultimately determines the design. Only

the technical features that are really needed can be found on our watches.

Because we believe 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

SINN SPEZIALUHREN ZU FRANKFURT AM MAIN

It was back in 1961 that 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 over the company. 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 insider’s 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.

Advancements in endurance testing

Take, for example, the absolutely condensation-

free, anti-reﬂective, German Submarine Steel diving

watch – made possible by HYDRO Technology.

Other examples include a chronometer

chronograph fashioned from a 22-carat gold

alloy that is as hard as stainless steel and a

chronometer with a magnetic resistance of

up to 80,000 A/m. There are also watches with

a clockwork mechanism optimally protected

from aging by an inert gas and integrated

dehumidifying capsule. The list would not be

complete without mentioning the development of

mission timers (Einsatzzeitmesser or EZM in German)

for ﬁreﬁghters, for special police units and border

patrol guards as well as Temperature Resistance

Technology to keep mechanical watches

performing at temperatures ranging from − 45 °C

to + 80 °C. This technology has proven its worth in

the EZM 10 TESTAF model, for example, used as

part of the ofﬁcial approvals procedure for Airbus

Helicopters (formerly Eurocopter) EC 145 T2 high-

performance helicopter. Hot and cold climate tests

and high-altitude experiments were carried out in

the deserts of the USA, the Rocky Mountains and

the frozen wastes of Canada. The watch was worn

unprotected, outside the pilot’s overall, during cold

climate tests at temperatures reaching − 45 °C.

Innovations and certiﬁcations

The world’s largest classiﬁcation society for maritime safety DNV GL (formerly

Germanischer Lloyd, Hamburg), has been testing our diving watches

for pressure and water resistance since 2005. As part of DNV GL’s ofﬁcial

certiﬁcation process, our diving watches have been treated as part of diving

equipment since 2006 and tested and certiﬁed in accordance with European

diving equipment standards. This is unparalleled in the watch industry.

We have had selected pilot’s watches tested and certiﬁed to the technical

standard for pilot watches (Technischer Standard Fliegeruhren – TESTAF)

by Aachen University of Applied Sciences since 2012. The TESTAF, the result

of a research project at the initiative of Sinn Spezialuhren, ensures that a

pilot’s watch meets all timekeeping requirements during ﬂight operations in

accordance with visual and/or instrumental ﬂight regulations and is suitable

for professional use.

DIAPAL is one of our most important technological developments, with oiling

no longer needed for the most important functions in the watch thanks to

the materials we select. This technology was ﬁrst used in 2001. With the aid

of TEGIMENT Technology, we achieve greatly increased scratch resistance

through surface hardening.

Ongoing advancement in technology and quality

Our top priority has always been to develop watches that 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 has to ﬁrst 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 of 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 meet all their design speciﬁcations

in full. Take for example the SZ02 calibre of our

U1000 diving chronograph. The 60-minute scale

of the stopwatch minute counter is much simpler

and more intuitive to read than the 30-minute

scale commonly found on other watches. The

hand-engraving represents a highly personal form

of reﬁnement. If required, our specially trained

engraver can etch a name, initials, monograms

or symbols onto the rotor, movement bridge and

case back.

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

difference between victory and being an also-ran.

Now, after more than 20 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.
