8 deadly new Sinns from 2020, including dress watches (yes, really), refined pilots and divers
Sinn is a brand that is stealthily emerging from the shadows. The Frankfurt-based manufacturer favours slow incremental changes to their product line, making their watches better every year, but never reinventing the wheel as they go about it. This year, the new collection has looked to improve on a few older references, as well as introduce something a little bit different from the robust utilitarian watches we are used to seeing from Sinn. Made up of eight new watches across…
INTRODUCING: The Sinn EZM 12, a German Design Award-winning watch for the sanitary conscious
Editor's note: When this landed in our inbox with imagery of surgical scrubs, a soapy petri dish and a headline along the lines of 'finally, a super-hygienic watch for medical personnel', we recoiled.

It's no longer an argument that has any heat — or any credibility. Therefore, a list of great German watchmakers in 2019 (first published in 2018, the superfans will tell you) borders on a no-brainer. But that said, there may be one or two discoveries in there.…
HANDS-ON: The Sinn 104 St Sa I W
Famous for their formidable and over-engineered designs — which range from technically advanced mission timers to hardcore divers made of submarine steel — Sinn are arguably the most renowned tool watch manufacturer in the industry. However, the German company also hosts a suite of dressier pieces that are better suited to a boardroom than a war room. Meeting somewhere in the middle is the Sinn 104. A professionally capable pilot's watch that is equally at home outside of the cockpit –…
