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

Sinn Spezialuhren is recognised by
pilots all over the world as one of the
leading names in the development
of precise and robust watches for
use in aviation. Not only pilots, but
also aviation enthusiasts, know that
reliability and absolute precision are
essential in our industry. We rely on
perfection, including in the watch
on our wrist.
Both watch technology and aviation
are constantly changing – watches
are becoming even more precise
and reliable and increasingly make
use of technologies and materials
from the realm of aviation and
space travel.
GREETING FROM KARL ULRICH GARNADT
CHAIRMAN AND CEO OF LUFTHANSA Cargo AG

With the introduction of the Boeing 777F, Lufthansa
Cargo is operating the most modern freighter in its class,
with a particularly large range, vast cargo capacity and
the highest level of environmental efficiency. As Cargo
Lufthanseaten (the members of the Lufthansa Cargo
team), we are proud to welcome the new flagship in our
fleet. With this very special watch, a collaborative effort
between Sinn Spezialuhren and Lufthansa Cargo, you
can wear a timepiece that resembles the Boeing 777F –
classic design on the outside, cutting-edge technology
on the inside, and all of this together with the utmost
efficiency and maximum precision.
Every time you look at your wrist, you will be reminded of
our aircraft, so a little bit of the pilot spirit that motivates
us every day at Lufthansa Cargo will be with you at all
times.
We hope you enjoy it.
Karl Ulrich Garnadt

Aviation, in all its forms, combines emotion and
technical excellence like almost no other mode of
transport. It's not just pilots who have always
demonstrated their connection to flying by wearing
a special timepiece – the pilot's watch.
In the early days of aviation, the pilot's watch was
one of the primary navigation instruments
alongside the aviation map and a compass.
Charles Lindberg would rather have gone without a
radio than a second timepiece on his legendary
transatlantic flight. To this day, most flight
procedures in instrument flying carry a
corresponding time stamp.
"Pilot's watch" is however not a protected term. It is
often used for purely design-oriented models, which
hardly do justice to the technical requirements for a
flight instrument. It was therefore natural for the
Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the
Aachen University of Applied Sciences, as one of
the leading educational and research facilities for
aviation, to take on the development of a test
standard based on the official certification
procedure for general aviation. A considerable

number of pilots, airline companies and engineers were involved in creating
the requirements and the development of the extensive test procedures.
TESTAF, the technical standard for the pilot's watch, was officially presented to
the public in the autumn of 2012, in the deliveries hangar of the Eurocopter
company in Donauwörth. The advisory board set up for this purpose, consisting
of recognised experts in aviation and the watch industry, will ensure the future
continuous updating and technical advancement of the contents and test
procedures.
The team at SINN, led by Lothar Schmidt, of course immediately took on this
challenge and met all requirements with flying colours after an intensive
development phase. You hold the result in your hands today, the TESTAF-
certified pilot's watch – a very special timepiece.
Sincerely
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Frank Janser

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.
