[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?

People like what they like...that's the bottom line. For me, Sinn is the master of tool watches and they have a very wide selection to choose from. They are designed to over perform in a variety of difficult conditions. If I could only have 10 watches, a sinn would definitely be in that box. You do you, but I say give their catalog a slow thorough look before dismissing them. Happy collecting
