A Quick Overview Of Sinn Watches
When it comes to watches, we all have our particular tastes - one person may love chronographs, and another may opt for a simple three-hander. ?What we can all appreciate though, are a handful of attributes that a single brand has built into their entire lineup:Impeccable German aestheticsSolid build qualityImpressive mechanical movementsThese are all, of course, represented in the Sinn catalog. Photo credits for images in this article go to Zach Weiss by the way, and we appreciate his great shots. Surprisingly, for a brand that's "only" been around since the '60s, they have quite a variety of models as well - meaning those three attributes above are going to show up in a style of watch you'd want to have on your wrist.In the '60s, Helmut Sinn was a pilot who wasn't happy with the watches he was finding in the market, and decided to create his own. ?Additionally, he decided he wanted to sell direct to the consumer, cutting out the costs the "middle man" imposed. ?In may ways, it seems

Thinking of narrowing down the collection to two pieces...
Hello all,So I've been contemplating narrowing down the collection to a couple pieces (seeing how long that will last for!). I've been given an opportunity to pick up a Lange platinum Datograph for what I believe is a very attractive price so that is one of the two and the other options are either my Patek 5980 1a blue dial or my 5711 1a blue dial. So my question is (and I realize this is very subjective) would it be redundant to have two chrono's or is the 5711 (being dressier) covering the same category as the Dato? I'm having a tough time deciding which to keep and which to let go of! Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!-Carlos
