The Sinn 103 Ti Diapal is a variation on the 103 Titanium, to create the 103 Titanium Diapal. This combines two of Sinn’s most popular models to create a watch fit for all purposes. The 103 is the longest running in Sinn’s range of watches. The Sinn 103 Ti UTC DIAPAL is chronograph with a completely lubricant free escapement, which is a world first.  Every wristwatch requires a service every few years as the escapement wheels and pallets need lubricating to avoid friction.  Sinn used the technological innovations of the space program to develop a lubrication free escapement called DIAPAL, which is a reference to the friction reducing technique of replacing the ruby pallet stones with diamonds, hence the name DIAmond PALlets.  The diamond pallets are then fitted to the traditional movements, in this case the Valjoux 7750, so you have the tried and tested Valjoux 7750, which is the world standard for automatic chronographs, which has been modified with space age technology to make it friction free.  This is a technology which has been years in the making at the Sinn labs.  In addition to the movement The cases are treated with “Tegiment” process.  This is the process where the ice-hardened outer layer of special anti-corrosive stainless steel is hardened to 1,200 Vickers which is four times harder than nickeliferous high grade stainless steel used in other high quality stainless steel watches.  This steel process is rarely found in watches, but is more often found in surgical instruments, and aerospace and aviation. The bracelet is treated in the same process to give it equal strength to the case.  Has a sapphire crystal, screw down crown and is water resistant to 20 ATM.  The dial is anthracite in colour with black sub dials and is an attractive and striking looking watch.  The UTC hand is a dual time indicator and is independently set of the main hands and points to a second time zone.  If you do not want a second time zone showing, the hand can be set to move in synchronization with the hour hand and it fits behind it perfectly so it will never be seen.

Absolutely beautiful Sinn 103 hand wound chronograph with spectacular good looks, a first rate movement and pedigree to suit.  The hand wound 103 is limited to only 300 pieces. The Sinn Flieger 103 is one of Sinn’s most successful watches.  It is one of the models which has shaped the reputation of the Sinn and has become an ambassador of the company.  The 103 has been in production for nearly ten years now.  The 103 hand wound is aimed to please the connoisseurs, enthusiasts and collectors since a new model hand wound watch is seldom seen in modern watch making.  The movement is a modified Valjoux 7750, and referred to as a Valjoux–ETA 7760.  The automatic winding rotor has been removed and replaced with a hand winding mechanism.  This has been done to satisfy the enthusiasts of classical and original timepieces who appreciate the aesthetics and the daily interaction with the hand winding mechanism.  The hand winding ritual each day is an interaction that creates a bond between man and machine.  It is something that becomes very personal to the wristwatch enthusiast as it represents a return to traditional values, which are so often disrespected and forgotten in today’s high tech and computer age.  Not only does this watch offer a traditional hand wound mechanism, it also appeals to the collector as the movement is decorated with a complex pearl cross section and Geneva stripe finish.  The components are rhodium plated with blued screws and has a Sinn engraved bridge.  The front of the watch has a domed sapphire crystal with anti reflective coating.  The dial is mat black with white sub dials and luminous hands and baton style dial markings . The watch also has the characteristic pilots rotating bezel, which is a non ratchet friction type.  The bezel, is a high grade steel with an anodized aluminum bezel insert.

The Regulator clock was originated in the 18th century by Louis Berthould.  He devised the regulator dial.  His idea was that the minute hand should be very dominant, with hours and seconds rotating within separate dials integrated into the watch face.  For the very first time this arrangement made the minute hand stand out at all times.  At the time it was a groundbreaking invention, but one which also took account of an emerging trend: people were becoming increasingly interested in measuring the smallest unites of time.  They sensed a growing urge to keep a precise, uniform track of time wherever they happened to be.  This assisted from industry, trade, communications, science, navigation as well as everyday schedules such as keeping to correct timetables for transportation.  The new dial was incorporated in pendulum clocks called regulators.  The regulator clocks became very precise and were used for determining official standards until the 1960’s when they were replaced by millisecond accurate atomic clocks.  Today the precision and aesthetics of a mechanical watch hold an enduring fascination for us.  The ageless principle of its working mechanism finds a congenial sequel in the 6100 Regulateur series created by Sinn.  An updated version of the pendulums that featured in the historic regulators still oscillate in these watches.  Round pendulums consisting of screws and a balance wheel in this model, ensure the steady precise progression of the hour, minute and second hands.  It is also no accident that the traditional image of the Regulateur with its single hand is geared to the minute as the central measure of time.  The dial is guilloched, the appliqués contrasting with the background and the stylish finely drawn numerals convincingly emulate historic templates.  The Sinn Regulateur reflects the company’s self conception and corporate philosophy down to the last detail, and it is the perfect compliment to the company’s line of classical masterpieces. Rather than the classic looking regulator, with the Reglateur Technik, Sinn have stamped on it their own identity.  This being one of functional, and utility watches inspired by military and aviation watches.  The design of this retulator watch is certainly military and aviation inspired and is very visibly a Sinn. It has a scratch resistant sapphire front and back showing off the modified, but traditional and well established Unitas 6498 movement.  The movement is modified by Sinn, known as the SZ-04 and in doing so, Sinn have created a conclusive chronometer style regulator.  The movement has a Glucydur screw balance, a Triovis fine adjustment system, a Nivarox 1 spring balance and elaborate movement with Geneva stripes, diamond cut bridges and blued screws – all visible through the sapphire display back.  In the box, there is a collapsible eye loupe allowing the owner of the watch to admire the movement in close detail.  The movement is 17 jewels and is hand wound.  The balance wheel oscillates at 18,000 semi oscillations per hour.  It is anti magnetic to DIN 8309 specification and shock proof to DIN 8308 specification.  The case is stainless steel to DIN WNR 1,4435.  It is polished and satinised.  The crown is a D3 crown with double O ring gasket and no screws.  It is water resistant to 10 bars which is approximately 100 metres.  It has stop seconds for accurate time setting. Dimensions are as follows.  Width is 44 mm excluding the crown, 48 mm including the crown, thickness is 12 mm, lug to lug is 50 mm and the lug width is 22 mm.  Ref. SIN 65.  Price is £1,795

The Regulator clock was originated in the 18th century by Louis Berthould.  He devised the regulator dial.  His idea was that the minute hand should be very dominant, with hours and seconds rotating within separate dials integrated into the watch face.  For the very first time this arrangement made the minute hand stand out at all times.  At the time it was a groundbreaking invention, but one which also took account of an emerging trend: people were becoming increasingly interested in measuring the smallest unites of time.  They sensed a growing urge to keep a precise, uniform track of time wherever they happened to be.  This assisted from industry, trade, communications, science, navigation as well as everyday schedules such as keeping to correct timetables for transportation.  The new dial was incorporated in pendulum clocks called regulators.  The regulator clocks became very precise and were used for determining official standards until the 1960’s when they were replaced by millisecond accurate atomic clocks.  Today the precision and aesthetics of a mechanical watch hold an enduring fascination for us.  The ageless principle of its working mechanism finds a congenial sequel in the 6100 Regulateur series created by Sinn.  An updated version of the pendulums that featured in the historic regulators still oscillate in these watches.  Round pendulums consisting of screws and a balance wheel in this model, ensure the steady precise progression of the hour, minute and second hands.  It is also no accident that the traditional image of the Regulateur with its single hand is geared to the minute as the central measure of time.  The dial is guilloched, the appliqués contrasting with the background and the stylish finely drawn numerals convincingly emulate historic templates.  The Sinn Regulateur reflects the company’s self conception and corporate philosophy down to the last detail, and it is the perfect compliment to the company’s line of classical masterpieces.  It has a scratch resistant sapphire front and back showing off the modified, but traditional and well established Unitas 6498 movement.  The movement is modified by Sinn, known as the SZ-04 and in doing so, Sinn have created a conclusive chronometer style regulator.  The movement has a Glucydur screw balance, a Triovis fine adjustment system, a Nivarox 1 spring balance and elaborate movement with Geneva stripes, diamond cut bridges and blued screws – all visible through the sapphire display back.  In the box, there is a collapsible eye loupe allowing the owner of the watch to admire the movement in close detail.  The movement is 17 jewels and is hand wound.  The balance wheel oscillates at 18,000 semi oscillations per hour.  It is anti magnetic to DIN 8309 specification and shock proof to DIN 8308 specification.  The case is stainless steel to DIN WNR 1,4435.  It is polished and satinised.  The crown is a D3 crown with double O ring gasket and no screws.  It is water resistant to 10 bars which is approximately 100 metres.  Dimensions are as follows.  Width is 44 mm excluding the crown, 48 mm including the crown, thickness is 12 mm, lug to lug is 50 mm and the lug width is 22 mm.  Ref. SIN 58.  Price is £1,595

Sinn 358 Jubilaum. It is the jubilee edition watch to commemorate Sinn’s 50th anniversary. The model was launched at the Basel fair in March 2011. It is a strictly limited edition and limited to 500 pieces only worldwide, so it is possibly a future classic. Many discontinued and rarer Sinn watches sell well above their original retail prices. To create the new Sinn 358, Sinn designed a brand new case in the style of one of the most popular watches, the 356, but with larger dimensions at their in house case making facility in Glashutte, Germany.  This watch also features Sinn's dehumidifying technology which protects the movement oils from humidity and keeps the dial from fogging when moving from a hot to cold environment (such as an air conditioned room). This technology consists of three components - the use of inert gas injected into the case, a copper sulphate capsule to absorb humidity and special EDR (Extreme Diffusion Reducing) seals to reduce the infiltration of moisture into the case. Sinn pays attention to small details, and in this case a problem that affects many watches as they age and are exposed to the sun. Just as UV radiation can damage the skin, it also can cause the dial color to fade and change colors over time. Sinn uses a special electroplating process to make this dial UV resistant and to preserve the charcoal grey color. It has got a sapphire crystal to the front and back and the front sapphire is domed. It is also pressure resistant, so will remain intact and working well under high pressures and sudden pressure changes.   Sinn has modified the base movement to a new design. The modified modified Valjoux 7750 calibre is called the SZ05 and the main modification is to relocate chronograph registers to 3 and 9 to balance the dial display and make it more in keeping with vintage chronographs where this sub dial arrangement is regularly seen. The movement is beautifully decorated as one would expect for the 50 year anniversary model. Sinn also changed the function of the counter at 3 to create a 60 minute counter rather than the traditional 30 minutes seen on Valjoux automatic chronograph movements.  The watch is 100 metres water resistant, Width is 42 mm excluding crown and 46 mm including crown, lug to lug is 49 mm and it is 16 mm thick.
