[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?

You might need to explore their lineup a little more. Sinn is not just a utilitarian no frills design. They are constantly evolving and making new designs. It’s also really cool to go to the factory store in Frankfurt and just marvel.

Look through their archive to see some really cool concepts and beautiful faces.
