When it comes to choosing watches, these attributes are absolutely worth looking for! The History of Sinn Watches The Sinn watch company was founded in 1961 by pilot Helmut Sinn, who was unhappy with the watches he was finding on the market. He aimed to create his own top quality watches and sell them direct to customers – cutting the costs of the middle man. Early Sinn watches were manufactured according to Helmut's specifications by private label manufacturers in Switzerland. As Helmut Sinn sold his watches direct to customers, he could offer them at lower prices than his competitors. Helmut sold his company to Lothar Schmidt in 1994 – Lothar had started working with Sinn a year earlier. At this time Lothar started working with select distributers and helped to expand the reach of the brand further than it had ever managed previously. Today, over 12,000 watches are sold each year and the vast majority of them are created in Frankfurt itself. High Quality Mechanical Watches The Sinn brand is based around the excellent quality of watches they produce. Over the years they have built a reputation for excellence, with beautiful watches which have been expertly crafted. When you get your hands on a Sinn watch you can tell just how fantastically built their timepieces are. Technologies like tegimented steel and special capsules to keep the watch dry help them stand out amongst the competition. Watches like the Sinn U1 U-Boat Steel 1000m Divers Black Silicone Strap and the Sinn 903 St B E Nav Chrono Dark Brown Alligator Embossed Leather are great examples of the high quality Sinn watches.
