[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 feel this post. I've never seen a sin watch that I liked. I think they are all just boring looking and uninteresting. Also, I know it was named after a guy, but I HATE the name. It just sounds like an edgelord wanted a cool name, but to distinguish themselves added an 'n' to the end of a word they thought was cool.

You’re aware that not everyone speaks English? Sinn is a Name but also translates to reason, mind or sense in German.

Yeah I'm aware. Just sharing my opinion as an English speaker of what comes to my mind when I see the name. Idk why that is, but that's my opinion for whatever reason.
