[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?

Just look at something like the Sinn 556. A minimalist, super solid watch with 200m WR that can be used on any occasion.

Nomos has a lot of appeal in the brand itself as well. A young, independent watchmaker with amazingly finished in-house movements that keep to older, traditional Bauhaus designs. They also have some creative, new designs in the same style as the Metro Date Power Reserve, Zurich World Time, and Lambda.
