[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 pretty ~~rabid~~ vocal about my distaste for boring, generic watches that everyone and their pet hamster have on their wrist. With Sinn in particular, I couldn't understand why hardcore watch nerds kept recommending it

...then I got to try one. It fit so perfectly, the sterile dial and bracelet just feels right as an overall package. The black and white did feel a bit boring, though, so I had to get the red second hand version of the 556i. It just looks cool to me
