Company history of Sinn

The company Sinn Spezialuhren was founded in 1961 by Helmut Sinn, a former pilot and flight instructor, in Frankfurt am Main. Helmut Sinn was focused on producing functional and precise watches for pilots and other professional users. Initially, the company concentrated on producing navigation cockpit clocks and pilot chronographs.

In the 1990s, Helmut Sinn sold the company to Lothar Schmidt, an engineer who had previously worked at IWC Schaffhausen and A. Lange & Söhne. Under Lothar Schmidt's leadership, Sinn experienced a significant innovation boost. Many of the technologies and models known today were developed during this time.

Some of the most notable models and innovations from Sinn include:

• Sinn 142: This watch was popular among astronauts and was worn during the first German space mission.
• Sinn UX: A diving watch that is waterproof up to a depth of 12,000 meters and equipped with an oil-filled system that improves readability underwater.
• Sinn 556: A versatile and robust pilot watch appreciated for its clear readability and timeless elegance.

Sinn has earned a firm place in the watch world through its uncompromising quality, technical innovation, and focus on functional instrument watches. The brand remains a prime example of German watchmaking and engineering craftsmanship, expressed in every one of its products.
