Mr. Helmut Sinn is the founder of ‘Helmut Sinn Spezialuhren” who was not only a pilot but also a flight instructor by profession. He founded the company in 1961. Initially, the company produced pilot chronograph and navigation cockpit clock.
When in 60’s, Helmut Sinn was a pilot probably wasn’t satisfy with the watches available in the market, finally he decided to produce his own. To make his watches more affordable he thought to cut out the middle man costs, so decided to sell watches direct to the consumer. Personally I believe that Mr. Sinn is the forefather of modern online boutique trends that adopt by several today’s brands. With the elimination of the trade margin, the company offers its timepieces at a low range which impact well on traditional sales channels. Soon the watches from Sinn get fame among pilots for their quality and value for money. Over the years as company sold to other hands, the company introduced the traditional concept of distributors.

The brand owes vast experience of mechanical watches, and Sinn is technologically referred as an engineering brand now. Technically Sinn watches are best as contained some distinctive features that differentiate them from others. Some attributes of these robust timepieces are listed below. Let’s take a look.
- TEGIMENT Technology: Sinn watches come with this advanced technology which primary purpose is to provide high scratch resistant. In this method, coating is not used but the surface itself creates the resistant layer.
- Temperature Resistant Technology: To protect the watches Sinn use special oil that allow the watches to withstand even at the temperature of 45°C to 80°C without effecting.
- PVD Coating: PVD coating is one of the finest techniques to protect the material surface by high quality coating. Instead of Tagiment Sinn also used this for watches.
- Drying Capsule (Ar-Dehumidifying Technology): Sinn used the elements of drying capsule (Ar-Dehumidifying technology) in its watches that protect the watch from moisture.
- DIAPAL Technology: For long term accuracy of the watch movement Sinn selected particular material that work great without lubrication. Name it DIAPAL.
- Magnetic Field Protection: Sinn watches stand well when its magnetic field. Sometimes magnetic clasps cause the magnetism that adversely affects the accuracy of the timepiece. So Sinn offers watches with magnetic field protection.
- HYDRO Feature: Sinn introduced HYDRO cases that provide the wearer free readability even under deep water from any angle.
