[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?

That's the point. Not everything has to be "interesting". Sometimes ppl just want a simple plain no nonsense black and white watch. Like, do you have to have a super interesting phone case? How about a super interesting wallet or belt or shoes? I have a plain black leather wallet. It's very nice but also simple and functional. I don't want a flashy wallet or a design on the leather. I'm sure some ppl do, but others don't. Simple is classic and timeless styling. Sinn watches are simple classics with a certain aesthetic to them. That's why people love them.
