Their dials are just so… bland. It’s always black and white and minimalist to a fault. Like there’s nothing interesting. Even Nomos has splashes of color here and there and play on typography. For example Nomo’s simplest watch - Tangente, has a slight splash of color with blue hands. Other minimal dress watches usually differentiate with dial finishing - like with sunburst or a textured dial. But nope, Sinn design language is just: stainless steel, pure black, sans-serif numbers, and white indices. That’s it. Yet they are super loved in here. Help me understand?
I’m pretty
rabidvocal about my distaste for boring, generic watches that everyone and their pet hamster have on their wrist. With Sinn in particular, I couldn’t understand why hardcore watch nerds kept recommending it…then I got to try one. It fit so perfectly, the sterile dial and bracelet just feels right as an overall package. The black and white did feel a bit boring, though, so I had to get the red second hand version of the 556i. It just looks cool to me
