...is a hundred years old today apparently.

Out of all the watch makers Sinn is probably my favourite (for everyday, practical watches) I think; Lowther Schmidt (ex-IWC) is carrying the torch quite well too and Guinand (Sinns other company) should always be on peoples radar when considering good quality, good value chronographs.

Here're mine:








Loads of classics in the back-catalogue; the copper 356, the blue Aktis, the tank U1, the EZM line, the 142s, the Hydro, the classic but ever varied 103 line-up etc etc.

Watcha got or watcha had...?

The 6100 Tecknic Regulateur is one of the best value watches out there. I love mine.

I've just found out I've inherited a little bit more than anticipated from my Mum's estate. I'd love to buy an Omega to go with my late Dad's 1956 Seamaster, but I can't afford that much (I know I'm going to take a depreciation hit whatever I buy, because I want new).

I'd also like a Dornblüth, but they're out of my price bracket too!

So I've settled on a Sinn 857 UTC on the bracelet. I just need to find one for a try on now. I may have to have a weekend in Germany...

I love my Sinn 556 I've worn it every day for a year now, one of the their lower end watches but I hope to buy another Sinn in a year or so.
