Innovations and authentications
one of our most important inventions is the oil-free dIapal technology,
based on low-friction materials for the key functional parts of the watch,
enabling them to run without lubrication. this technology was first employed
in our jubilee watch, the palladium alloy/white gold Frankfurt Financial
district watch. teGIment technology, with which sInn achieves a virtually
scratch resistance surface for its watches, represents another milestone.
other innovations include diving watches made from original submarine
steel, as used in the construction of the outer shell of German class 212
submarines. Germanischer lloyd, the world's biggest classification society
providing marine safety services, has been testing the aspects of water and
pressure resistance since 2005. moreover, an official authentication process
conducted by Germanischer lloyd in 2006, sInn diving watches as diving
gear for the very first time in the watch making sector and tested them
in keeping with european diving equipment standards. the result: these
timepieces passed the temperature resistance and functionality tests with a
sensational success. all test results are authenticated with signature and seal.
Ongoing advancement in technology and quality
our top priority is always to develop watches which offer superior
performance – both in daily and in professional use. which is why our
engineers are working continually to identify which innovative methods,
materials and technologies are best suited for optimising our watches.
each new development first has to undergo rigorous practical tests before
being incorporated. and no watch leaves our workshops before it has
been subjected to thorough checking and fine adjustment by our master
watchmakers.
Workshop modifications and hand-engraving
From the robust case and the polished crystal
through to elaborate refinements: we make sure
that each and every detail in our watches is fit
for purpose. the same applies to our workshop
modifications. only the perfect interaction of all
components and technologies ensures that our
watches can meets all its design specifications
in full. For example: the sz02 calibre of our u1000
diving chronograph. the 60 minute scale of
the stop-minute counter is much simpler and
more intuitive to read than the 30 minute scale
commonly found in other watches. the hand
engraving represents a highly personal form
of refinement. If required, our specially trained
master engraver can etch a name, initials,
monograms or symbols onto the rotor, movement
bridge and case back.
