HSTE's Sinn Watch Collection Tribute

HSTE · 2017-09-03T13:19:52Z

HSTE celebrates Helmut Sinn's 101st anniversary with his Sinn watch collection, including the Sinn 101 and U2C. Discover modern tool watches and vintage pieces.

HSTE pays tribute to Helmut Sinn's 101st anniversary by showcasing a personal collection of Sinn watches. His post highlights the brand's appeal, from modern tool watches to vintage pieces, and shares his unique experience of interacting with Herr Sinn himself. The collection underscores Sinn's reputation for robust engineering and historical significance.

I had discovered the Sinn watches in 2009 when I lived and worked for 3 years in Frankfurt and discovered that the Sinn manufacture was only a 2 minutes drive away from my then home. I got myself first some modern tool watch models and later had the chance to find the Sinn 101 (first picture) and later the amazing Sinn with a Valjoux 88 inside (second picture).

On this Valjoux 88 piece I had even exchanged by email with "Herr Sinn" through his assistant.

I had spent quite some time in the factory and the show room on the first floor. I also had all my Heuer Bund watches overhauled there. Lastly, the U2C (second last picture) is an amazing tool watch: only 50 pieces produced, DLC coated, waterproof to 2000 meters and still super comfortable to wear. You would instantly "Wohoow" the moment you take it in your hands.

Cheers, HSTE

The Sinn 101, with its gorgeous dial, is an unexpected and impressive piece within the brand's history, prompting some collectors to reconsider their acquisition plans.
The Sinn U2C is an exceptional tool watch, limited to 50 pieces, featuring DLC coating and 2000-meter water resistance, yet remaining remarkably comfortable to wear.

an unthinkable Sinn to be honest. Gorgeous dial. Thanks for sharing! Well I also lived in Frankfurt but did not acquired any piece. I must correct that...
