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

depends on it.

They all swear by the performance,

resilience and durability, as well

as the quality and precision of our

watches. That is why Hamburg-based

Germanischer Lloyd 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's Watches (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

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

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 20 times the standard.

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 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 Eurocopter's 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

Germanischer Lloyd, the world's largest classiﬁcation society for maritime

safety, has been testing our diving watches for pressure and water resistance

since 2005. As part of Germanischer Lloyd'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's Watches (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

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 master engraver can etch a name,

initials, monograms or symbols onto the rotor,

movement bridge and case back.

ASTRONAUT-SCIENTIST DR. ERNST MESSERSCHMID ON THE D1 SPACELAB MISSION

FASCINATION OF SPACE TRAVEL

Even people who have never orbited like a real

astronaut are fascinated by the idea of space

ﬂight. The aerospace industry has already created

a multitude of beneﬁts in telecommunication,

navigation, earth observation, space research

and many other technological ﬁelds. But the

biggest beneﬁt may be the fact that more and

more people are beginning to see our world the

way astronauts do – as a small, beautiful planet,

an island in the vast and unfriendly reaches of

the galaxy with only a limited amount of space

for its inhabitants who live in constant conﬂict with

Mother Nature.

From the early beginnings of space ﬂight to today, only a few people have

enjoyed the privilege of actually going there.The ﬁrst Europeans received

the opportunity to live and work in space as“astronaut scientists”with the

development of the Spacelab system,which began immediately following the

successful Apollo missions of the USA in the early 1970s.This was Europe's ﬁrst

access to manned space ﬂight.Just two years after Ulf Merbold participated

in the ﬁrst joint NASA and ESA Spacelab mission,Reinhard Furrer and I were

selected to orbit the earth for a week and conduct some 100 scientiﬁc

experiments as part of the D1 German Spacelab mission.When Reinhard

Furrer and I – both of us were physicists – began our astronaut training in early
