at some point I thought it would be a good idea to design a special mission
timer watch for use by firemen. I combined my expertise and experience as
a fireman with the demands I placed on a watch suitable for day-to-day
use in fire-fighting missions. I also wanted it to be possible to read off mission
times as described in the fire service manuals (
F euer w ehr d ienst v orschriften,
FwDv ) 7 and 500.
so I made some simple drawings of dials and bezels. the inclusion of a
variety of mission times and processes described in the fire service manuals
resulted in a clear idea of what a fireman’s mission timer should be capable
of. the dial would be a pictogram with all important mission times, and the
bezel would be able to count off these times with the help of the minute
hand. For reasons of clarity I represented the mission times on the bezel with
the traffic-signal colours red, yellow and green, which are often used in
fire-fighting.
there was only one company I could imagine implementing my idea. It
was my wish that sinn spezialuhren would manufacture the fire-fighting
mission timer. at the time, I was using a sInn 857 model, a watch that
fulfilled all the demands of the fire-fighting profession in terms of the
material and technology used to make the case, its magnetic field
protection, dehumidifying technology, water resistance, readability and
general functionality. I was very satisfied with that watch, but in spite of
its attractiveness and its functionality it was still a pilot’s watch. I remained
fascinated by the idea of creating a watch specifically for fire-fighting
missions.
