Of course that kind of craftsmanship doesn't come cheap and I don't play with watches of that caliber anymore. I'll have to familiarize myself with Sinn.  |
I *love* Länge und Sohne as much as any watchonista, but Sinn's ethos is in a much more real-world use, pragmatic, engineering-driven, hard-as-nails, value-driven philosophy. In many respects they are regarded as the tool watchmaker for tool watchmakers. I'll set up a specific thread with some background and links.
In the meantime, zip over to WatchBuys. They are the exclusive seller for Sinn and Hanhart in North America. And they sell only direct to customers to keep prices down and very reasonable.
In many respects, Sinn is the like the Schiit of the watch industry.
