[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 had to scroll to the bottom to see this, which is what immediately comes to mind when I think Sinn

This watch haunts me. I don’t typically like chronographs, but this dial- copper guilloche, the sub-dial orientation, the aribic numerals and A day/date and logo that are located at the 3:00, so the seconds hand doesn’t cut though … the fine link bracelet.

To sum it up, it’s pretty good.
