[Question] What is the appeal of Sinn? (alien.top)

Their dials are just so... bland. It's always black and white and minimalist to a fault. Like there's nothing interesting. Even Nomos has splashes of color here and there and play on typography. For example Nomo's simplest watch - Tangente, has a slight splash of color with blue hands. Other minimal dress watches usually differentiate with dial finishing - like with sunburst or a textured dial. But nope, Sinn design language is just: stainless steel, pure black, sans-serif numbers, and white indices. That's it. Yet they are super loved in here. Help me understand?

I’m drawn to ultra legible, simple, military-style watches for whatever reason. The 556a is sort of an attainable grail watch for me. Maybe there are “better” watches that achieve the above but the first time I saw one my thought was “I gotta have one of these someday”.

I don’t know much about the rest of the Sinn lineup but that’s my take on the 556a anyway.

It's my second most worn watch and very versatile with lots of straps. I highly recommend it.

I'm not a big fan of most other Sinns though.
