The first thing that pops out is the dial.  It has essentially been very, gently, very carefully ground to achieve the textured effect. While there have been many watch brands that have attempted to trot out a "Worn" look, I have to say that this is the first time a distressed style dial has actually (at least in my opinion) worked.  It looks quite striking.

This piece is limited to 500 pieces and will no doubt sell quickly - so no dawdling!

The R500

 From Sinn -

Courtesy of Sinn

And it is DOPE AS HELL!

(That means I like it)

Courtesy of Sinn

A truly cool limited series of 300 pieces.  The case is of titanium, and yes, that is a "bullhead" orientation for the crown and pushers!

Here are the pertinents, straight from the source -

Description

A historical model returns: with the Model R500 limited to 300 pieces, we’re presenting a racing stopwatch with this extraordinary design in our range for the first time in many years. What sets this watch apart visually is the position of the crown at 12 o’clock and the push-pieces at 11 and 1 o’clock. Thanks to this arrangement, the Model R500 represents an analogy to the traditional stopwatch and motorsport. The tachymeter scale on the interior bezel is used to measure speeds. With the power reserve indicator at 12 o’clock, you can always see whether the timepiece is ready to go. The displays for hour, minute and subsidiary second and the stop functions for 12 hours, 30 minutes and 60 seconds are mounted in the centre for high-precision time measurement.

The unusual positions of the crown and push-pieces - also known as the “bullhead chronograph” due to the appearance of a bull’s head - requires an extremely demanding case construction. The dial slopes downwards from top to bottom and is thus angled towards the wearer, who can conveniently adjust the crown and push-pieces at the wrist.

The satinised case itself is made of high-strength titanium (Grade 5), which underlines the technical and contemporary interpretation of the watch and ensures a comfortable fit.

The R500 is equipped with a black cowhide strap with red seam integrated into the case. The recessed strap embossing pays homage to the hole pattern design so common in motorsport.

The U1 DE

From Sinn -

Courtesy of Sinn

Yes, gentle reader, I remember where I was when the Berlin Wall came down.  I was working my way through the University of Oregon at Kinko's, which was fairly centrally located in Eugene right next to the campus. I will always remember the people running into the store (open 24 hours) from Taylor's (the bar a few doors down) excited by the news. Heady times.  And a bit later reunification.

30 years is a long time, yet for anyone my age (yes, the early part of our second century) we will always remember that there was more than 1 Germany.  

To help celebrate German reunification, Sinn has released the U1 DE -

The 103 Sa B E

From Sinn -

This was one of the more special pieces I got to try on this past March at BaselWorld.  Interesting to relate, feedback from a fellow member of the Fifth Estate -

"Unlike Playboy, people really do read Tempus Fugit for the articles, not for the pictures."

The 103 Sa B E is, in many ways, what you would expect from Sinn.  A solid, legible pilot's chronograph.  Perfect in size, shape and every other detail. But with a twist.  A beautiful blue dial and bezel add that extra little something that makes this latest Sinn so special. 

And a beautiful watch deserves a beautiful picture -

Beyond Tool Watches

Now, I know that Sinn makes WONDERFUL "professional" watches.  Pilots, divers, rescue personnel... Sinn has gone above and beyond to offer the timing tools needed for these brave men and women.  But there are some of us engaged in another daily battle, the rat race that pits us against uncompromising schedules, relentless meetings, and the desire to be home in time to spend some of that irreplaceable time with our family.

Courtesy of Sinn

Rest assured, while Sinn makes plenty of professional watches, they also make watches for professionals ; )

This is the 1736 St I 4N.   And what I really like about this new Sinn?  It marks a return to understanding about reasonable sizes.  The case measures a sane, rational, PROFESSIONAL 36 mm in diameter.  The dial is clean, clear and unfettered with nonsense.  Hours and minutes.  It is singularly beautiful in its simplicity.
