Sinn Spezialuhren zu FrankFurt aM Main

it was back in 1961 that pilot and blind-flying instructor helmut Sinn founded 
the company. Since then, we have been committed to producing high-
specification mechanical watches. in 1994, the graduate engineer lothar 
Schmidt took over the company. this marked the beginning of a new era 
for the Sinn brand, because the new owner took a decisive step towards 
more innovation. under his leadership, new technologies and materials were 
introduced, thus providing the crucial incentives for our company’s evolution 
and gradual emergence as an insider’s tip for lovers of fine watches. today, 
our name stands for technical innovations – much to the delight of both the 
trade and our customers alike.
