1996

D evelopment of HYDRO Technology HYDRO Technology is deployed for the first time in our 403 HYDRO diver's watch. This technology guarantees complete freedom from fogging, pressure resistance at all possible diving depths, and optimal under-water readability from all angles.

1999

E ndurance test for the 203 ARKTIS On the wrist of extreme diver Mario M. Weidner, our 203 ARKTIS chronograph passes its endurance test in the Arctic Sea with flying colours.

EZM 1

S INN presents the EZM 1 and EZM 2 mission timers Known as a maker of special timepieces, SINN once again proves its competence by developing two extraordinary mission timers: the EZM 1 and EZM 2. These are designed for use by special police forces and the GSG 9 unit (German federal police special force), where precise timing can mean the difference between life and death. The mission timers have been reduced to the absolute essentials: optimum readability and perfect time measurement. In the following years, further mission timers are developed to meet individual professional user profiles.

Robust and suitable for everyday use SINN Technologies Overview

Throughout our company's history, but especially since Lothar Schmidt restructured Sinn Spezialuhren back in 1994, we have developed a wide range of technical innovations. These have been based above all on the demands placed on our watches by our customers as they go about their daily lives. Despite being so different in nature, all of these developments have the same goal that of helping to make our watches even more robust and reliable, even more hardwearing in daily use. On the following pages you will find further information on our technologies and on Schsische Uhrentechnologie Glashtte (SUG) which manufactures our technologically superior cases.

Ar u -Dehumidifying Technology
Ar u -Trockenhaltetechnik
Ar-Dehumidifying Technology solves a basic problem of mechanical watches: the aging of oils due to moisture in the air contained inside, or diffusing into, the watch. The movement is mounted in a nearly anhydrous atmosphere thanks to the three Ar-Dehumidifying Technology elements of drying capsule, EDR seals and protective gas filling. Aging processes and fogging of the crystal from sudden cold are prevented, and reliable functioning and accuracy are ensured. Why does a water-resistant watch need dehumidifying technology anyway? The beauty and fascination of owning a SINN watch are enhanced by the knowledge of the fine mechanical precision of this object of daily use. Nonetheless, no matter how accurately the individual components are made, friction and wear must be minimized so that they function durably. Thus high-quality synthetic oils are used to ensure optimal lubrication of the movement bearings. This remains an unavoidable process in all mechanical watches. Humidity, however, accelerates the aging of the oils. How does moisture get into the watch? Water is always present in the atmosphere in gaseous form, which is why it can penetrate the seal systems of a watch case. Temperature changes then cause microcondensation, permitting water to collect in liquid form on exposed parts of the movement. The consequences: The efficiency of the lubrication deteriorates. Electrochemical corrosion, wear and friction increase, reducing the amplitude of the balance. The watch runs with decreasing accuracy and must finally be reconditioned. Our engineers looked for solutions to this problem and found them in the form of Ar-Dehumidifying Technology. Three technical elements The Ar-Dehumidifying Technology is based on three technical elements: a drying capsule, EDR seals and a protective gas filling. The primary element: the drying capsule The drying capsule is the most important part of the Ar-Dehumidifying Technology. The capsule is filled with copper sulfate; this absorbs moisture from the air inside the case and binds it permanently. Copper sulfate turns increasingly blue as its water content rises; the shade serves as an indicator of the drying capsule's level of saturation (see diagram). The capsule features a small viewing window of sapphire crystal glass for this purpose. EDR seals To minimize the exchange of gas between atmospheric air and that inside the case, and thus the penetration of atmospheric moisture, we only use Extreme Diffusion-Reducing (EDR) seals in watches featuring Ar-Dehumidifying Technology. These seals reduce the infiltration of moisture in the case to as little as 25% of the value permitted by conventional case seals made of nitrile rubber (NBR). Superior protective gas filling The Ar-Dehumidifying Technology is completed by a superior protective gas filling. This creates an ideal climate for the Ar-Dehumidifying Technology to function in. Only moisture diffusing from the air now has to be bound in the drying capsule. This avoids the humidity which is otherwise locked in during conventional assembly. Mounted in a nearly anhydrous environment These painstaking and technically elaborate measures are intended to keep the movement in a protective environment which is almost completely dry (anhydrous). A positive consequence of this is that it slows the aging process of the oil, thereby extending the functional life of the movement. Also, fogging of the crystal due to sudden temperature shocks (such as immersion in cold water) can be prevented, ensuring that the watch remains clearly legible at all times. Three-year warranty Ar-Dehumidifying Technology is a truly pioneering achievement for mechanical wristwatches by our engineers and a decisive advancement for all aficionados of mechanical watches. A three-year warranty is offered on all watches featuring Ar-Dehumidifying Technology.

DIAPAL
The objective of the Ar-Dehumidifying Technology is to prevent the oil from aging. The idea behind the DIAPAL Technology goes one step further. In this case we select special pairs of materials that work together without lubrication (!) and without causing friction, ensuring long-term accuracy of the movement and particularly of the Swiss lever escapement. To counteract the aging processes of the oil in the watch, the movement is maintained in a dry environment filled with protective gas using our Ar-Dehumidifying Technology. The technicians, engineers and physicists at SINN are currently focusing on an even more efficient solution to this problem. Their idea: if oil isn't used, there won't be any difficulties with aging oil. The approach based on this idea focuses on the Swiss lever escapement. The reason for this is the special role this part of the movement plays with regard to the aging of the oil. Empirically, the lever escapement is the most sensitive component of the move ent with regard to accuracy, i.e. the m quality of the lubrication at this point has the largest impact on the accuracy of the entire movement.

HYDRO
Absolutely free from fogging, pressure-resistant at any accessible diving depth and perfect readability from any angle under water these are the unbeatable advantages of our diving watches equipped with HYDRO Technology. How does it work? The movement, dial and hands are immersed directly in a crystal-clear bath of oil. The watch is thus free from fogging, as there is no air inside the case. The principle In a HYDRO watch case, the movement, dial and hands are held in a crystal-clear bath of fluid with the same refractive index as that of the sapphire crystal glass. This means that the light reflected by the dial and hands is not refracted as it enters the sapphire crystal glass. The fluid is also incompressible. It replaces the air inside the case which inevitably contains moisture. This yields a whole range of advantages.

757 DIAPAL with nanotechnology.

In the beginning was the diamond: today we celebrate the triumphs of nanotechnology SINN began its research on the DIAPAL Technology in 1995 with the idea of using diamond pallets to replace ruby ones. For conventional escapements, oil is required only to reduce friction between the ruby (pallet stone) and the steel (escape wheel). In the Swiss lever escapement, a polished diamond surface proved to be a better friction partner than the ruby traditionally used for this purpose. Lubrication is no longer required for lasting accuracy and function. However, this combination still failed to produce acceptable oscillation amplitudes without lubrication. Thus, in 1995 SINN began testing numerous other material combinations for use in watch technology, and applied for the first patents in 2000.

Filling the HYDRO watch case here, the UX GSG 9.

Amplitude

Advantage: Reflection-free under water The crystal of a conventional diver's watch will unavoidably reflect light under water - but not a HYDRO watch. A HYDRO watch can be read from oblique angles under water, just as it can when out of water. The reason for the characteristic mirroring effect is the total reflection on the bottom of the crystal. If the optical medium of "sapphire crystal" is succeeded by the medium of "air" (looking towards the dial), the light will only be reflected and no longer refracted from a certain angle. This prevents the light from penetrating the interface between the sapphire crystal and the airfilled space containing the hands. From this angle, the effect is similar to that of looking at a mirror. The hands are no longer visible. Replacing the air in the cavity containing the hands with a fluid which shares the same optical characteristics as the sapphire crystal glass neutralises this effect, making the watch face fully readable even at highly oblique angles.

Advantage: Completely free from fogging The absence of any air inside the case keeps our HYDRO watches completely free from fogging. Fogging only occurs in air which contains moisture; this can condense if the temperate falls below the "dew point". Where there is no air humidity - there can be no condensation!

Advantage: Pressure-resistant at all possible diving depths Fluids are virtually incompressible. The membrane back allows the internal pressure of the watch to adjust constantly to the external pressure. Thus the HYDRO watch is pressure-resistant at any accessible diving depth. The pressure load which otherwise builds between the internal assembly pressure of a watch (1 bar) and the external water pressure (which increases by 1 bar per 10 m depth of water) does not arise in a HYDRO watch.

A comparison of the Swiss escapements: Unoiled, it functions for a maximum of three months. Standard lubrication leads to a significant decrease in amplitude after three to five years. During this period the escapement with DIAPAL Technology continues to function perfectly.

Magnetic Field Protection

Magnetfeldschutz
Magnetic fields such as those of electric motors, loudspeakers or door closers cause the Nivarox balance spring to become magnetized and adversely affect the accuracy of the watch. We solve this problem by using a protective sheath consisting of a closed, magnetically soft inner case that includes the dial, the movement holding ring and the case back. This Magnetic Field Protection far exceeds the DIN specification for anti-magnetic watches and minimizes magnetic interference. Interference of the accuracy of the watch due to magnetic fields As early as the 1930s, watches used for special purposes were protected against magnetic fields. Later, Magnetic Field Protection was integrated in pilots' watches due to the magnetic deflectors used in the radar screens found in airplane cockpits and ground stations. However, the restriction of Magnetic Field Protection to professionally used chronometers is proving absolute in today's world. While the earth's magnetic field is far too weak to pose any risk, magnetic fields from electric motors, loudspeakers, door closers or other such sources can cause lasting interference with the function of a mechanical watch. SINN-study about magnetized watches In a study of 1000 watches by SINN's customer service department, nearly 60% of the watches received were magnetized, and half of these (30%) had severe defects caused by magnetic fields. During this study, the speed of the movement before and after demagnetization was documented. If the speed deviation before demagnetization was greater than 5% of the speed after demagnetization, a defect due to magnetic fields was assumed. Magnetic field influences were also found even when the wearers weren't aware of any contact with sources of magnetic fields. As a consequence, all watches received by our customer service workshop are first demagnetized using an electromagnet. The main source of deffect Nivarox balance springs are made of a temperature-compensating material which, in certain unfavourable circumstances, becomes magnetised. Irregularities in the rate of the movement are therefore the result of a magnetised balance spring, i.e. a defect in the watch's clockpulse generator. When it comes to magnetic field sensitivity, the modern balance spring is far superior to the older steel springs with regard to sensitivity to magnetic fields, because Nivarox springs are non-magnetic as required by DIN 8309. However, in the case of a relatively low magnetic field exposure of 4,800 A/m or 6 mT roughly one quarter of the pole strength of a common house-hold magnet this permits an accuracy error of 30 seconds per day. Compliance with chronometer standards is thus impossible. If the spring is exposed to stronger magnetic fields, the oscillation of the balance will change permanently.

Protection from magnetic fields Magnetic fields can be diverted using magnetizable materials. If you place a hollow body made of iron in a magnetic field, you will see that a large part of the magnetic flux lines are bundled in the wall of the hollow body. The interior space is thus shielded from magnetic forces to a large extent. SINN engineers use this principle to their advantage. It is important that after exposure to a magnetic field the protective sheath does not remain mag etized, n as it would become a source of interference. Materials that can be easily magnetized but have only low remanence (residual magnetization after exposure to a magnetic field) are referred to as "magnetically soft". Pure iron is a good example of this. With the help of magnetically soft materials, the watches bearing our Magnetic Field Protection symbol are protected from magnetic fields up to 80,000 A/m and 100 mT. At SINN we use a closed, magnetically soft case interior consisting of the dial, the movement holding ring and the case back to achieve this protection. This type of shielding far exceeds the DIN specification for anti-magnetic watches. The DIN specification for anti-magnetic watches requires protection only up to 4,800 A/m.

Magnetic Field Protection in watches designed for use by professional pilots The uncompromising development of professional mission timers (EZM models) - such as pilot's watches designed for use in the cockpit of an aircraft - should always take the special circumstances of that environment into account and closely monitor any gradual changes in the field. For example, aircraft have not been fitted with conventional radar screens for many years now. Sources of magnetic fields which could interfere with the working of a mechanical watch are no longer built into modern cockpits. The Magnetic Field Protection incorporated in some of our models greatly increases the level of protection (16 times higher than that specified in DIN 8309), offering optimum protection from external magnetic fields on the rate of the movement - of great benefit in daily practice. However, the specially designed protective cage used for this emits its own magnetic signature. This is the capacity to change or influence magnetic fields in a characteristic way. Using such a watch in the cockpit of an aircraft means that this characteristic could deflect the aircraft's emergency compass. The priorities of a pilot's watch designed for professional use in the cockpit of a modern aircraft are therefore clear: the EZM-optimised solution should dispense with using a soft-magnetic internal cage and rely instead on amagnetic materials such as titanium. A timepiece which meets these design requirements will not then interfere with magnetic fields itself, yet will still meet the DIN 8309 requirements for antimagnetic watches.

Temperature Resistance Technology

Temperaturresistenztechnologie

45C + 80 C
The long-term accuracy of a watch movement crucially depends on the lubrication of its moving parts this is particularly true at extreme temperatures. We use the special oil developed by SINN to ensure reliable function under even the most extreme conditions. With its outstanding properties, it provides lubrication that is highly resistant to aging at temperatures between 45C and + 80C. The higher the temperature, the lower the viscosity of the lubricating oil film. At low temperatures, the oil becomes more viscous, leading to increased friction throughout the movement; more energy is lost in the train wheel, the escapement and the complete balance. Consequently, the amplitude of the oscillation decreases and the watch becomes increasingly inaccurate. In conjunction with the aging of the oil, which likewise increases the viscosity of the oil, conventional watch oils can thicken enough that the watch stops at temperatures just below the freezing point. Such watches no longer function reliably when used at lower temperatures! Only the special oil with substantially lower viscosity developed by SINN for use in extreme temperatures provides reliable long-term lubrication at very low temperatures. The composition of the oil ensures that it is still sufficiently fluid at temperatures of 45 C and below to maintain the movement's proper mechanical function. Moreover, the viscosity of the oil at + 80 C does not change enough to cause the oil to run off the ruby pallets of the escapement. Our SINN-Special Oil is highly resistant to aging, and provides lubrication for use under extreme conditions.

Accurate between temperatures from 60 C to + 80 C. When worn on the wrist, watches have an average operating temperature of 30 C. However, when worn above the clothing, they quickly assume the ambient temperature. Watches are significantly less accurate at temperatures below freezing. And below 30 C the accuracy is difficult to define. Watches which are lubricated with conventional watch oil generally come to a stop. Watches lubricated with SINN-Oil, by contrast, continue to run even at temperatures well below 45 C. The rate variation here, however, is relatively high; the watch loses time at a rapid rate.

TEGIMENT
TEGIMENT Technology raises the hardness level of the base material, e.g. stainless steel, by a significant factor. The technology was first introduced in the 756 Duochronograph at the International Baselworld Watch and Jewellery Show in Basel in 2003, replacing the ice hardening technique for nickel-free watch cases first presented in 2002. Originally TEGIMENT Technology was only used on stainless steel cases. The term is now used to refer to all materials with a hardened surface. TEGIMENT Technology provides highly effective protection against scratches. The method is not, however, based on the application of a coating. Instead it is the surface of the material itself which is hardened by means of a special process, thereby creating a protective layer ("tegimentum" in Latin). The surface of any watch hardened using TEGIMENT Technology has a significantly greater level of protection against scratches than that afforded by the hardness of the base material.

Captive Safety Bezel

Unverlierbarer Sicherheitsdrehring
The construction of the rotating bezel is extremely important in terms of safety. To prevent any risks to the life and health of the diver, the solution we use in the U1000 series is based on two elements. One is the captive design of the rotating bezel, which differs greatly from that of conventional snap-in mechanisms. A special design prevents the rotating bezel from becoming detached as the result of catching or being accidentally knocked, causing the set time to be lost. The U1000 also features a second element. In addition to the captive design of the U1000's bezel, it is also protected against accidental rotation - a feature which goes beyond the specifications laid down in DIN 8306. This standard stipulates that it should only be possible to adjust the set time of a diver's watch by turning the bezel anti-clockwise on one side. A patented mechanism prevents the safety bezel of the U1000 from being unintentionally rotated. This makes it impossible for the set time to be accidentally knocked and changed.

The EZM 10 is the first watch made from highstrength titanium with TEGIMENT Technology.

How to adjust the set time using the captive safety bezel 1. o adjust the set time, first T unlock the bezel. Press it down on opposite sides using two fingers. It is not possible to unlock the bezel using just one finger.

Black Hard Coating

Schwarze Hartstoffbeschichtung
Black Hard Coating

We only use hard coating (PVD coatings) with TEGIMENT surfaces. Because only in this combination is it possible for our PVD paint coats to achieve their required high quality. The hardness profile of the TEGIMENT layer is continuous, i.e. the high hardness of the surface transitions very gradually to the basic hardness of the material itself. This makes it possible to apply a PVD coating without any risk of the otherwise familiar peeling effect from the body of the case. Paint coatings applied using the PVD technique are exceptionally hard. They have a hardness level of up to 2,000 Vickers. The great and sudden difference in hardness between the hard coating and the base material results in disruption between the two when subjected to stress because the hard shell (PVD coating) is applied with no transition to a very soft core (case material). If a local force is applied, the base material yields and cannot provide sufficient support for the outer layer. This is called the "egg shell effect". The hardness of the TEGIMENT surface, by contrast, supports the hard coating layer. This prevents the egg shell effect and dramatically reduces flaking of the paint coating. 22

SUG manufactures technologically sophisticated cases for pilot's and diving watches
Toward the end of the tour of the German Horological Museum in Glashtte, visitors find themselves in a brightly lit room containing a handful of white display cabinets in which renowned local clock and watchmakers display a selection of their wares. Information panels point out the special features of each model and company. While examining the items on display, visitors sometimes do a double take one of the companies being showcased produces technologically sophisticated cases, in contrast to the finished luxury watches made by the other exhibitors. The company in question is Schsische Uhrentechnologie GmbH (SUG) based in Glashtte, a company that has earned its place among the other historical manufacturers presented at the museum. The move to independence What factors led to the founding of SUG? Having worked for Glashtter Uhrenbetriebe, Ronald Boldt was also familiar with the suppliers of watch cases. He observed two things: that the market was relatively small and manageable, and that there was room for improvement in terms of production quality. Why not do it himself, he thought. He set up his own company in 1999 along with two partners, one of whom was Lothar Schmidt. As so often happens in life, this was the result of a happy coincidence: Ronald Boldt was looking for business partners to help establish a new company, and Lothar Schmidt was looking for a new supplier of high-quality watch cases for SINN. The two men had met before in the tight-knit horological community of Glashtte, and they wasted no time in discussing their options. And so the cornerstone was laid. When a disastrous flood destroyed SUG's premises in 2002, Lothar Schmidt acquired the shares of the third partner, further cementing the already successful partnership between Ronald Boldt and Lothar Schmidt. Today, after more than ten years, Ronald Boldt regards the alliance as exemplary and views the business relationship as one which both sides continue to care about passionately. After all, both are engineers who speak the same language and who get along well, both professionally and personally.

Flexible, start-to-finish manufacturing of small production runs And so SUG has supplied SINN with watch cases ever since being founded. The small Saxon company has grown from its humble origins into one of the leading manufacturers in the field. In terms of finding and implementing the best solutions, SUG's quality and production processes are on a technological par with those of the best manufacturers in the business anywhere in Europe! This is evidenced by the list of renowned watchmakers that entrust their production secrets to SUG and commission the company to manufacture watch cases for them. SUG's success is a monument to the outstanding expertise the company has accrued over the years, and to its proven ability to come up with unique solutions, again and again. Another advantage of the company is its ability to provide extremely flexible, start-to-finish manufacturing of small production runs in premium quality, including design, CNC machining, finishing and assembly. The result is a finished watch case assembled completely to the desired specifications. Being able to perform tasks other manufacturers would balk at requires not only experience, but also creativity and passion all of which are in ample supply at SUG. The company has succeeded in taking even the most demanding watch case designs through to series production readiness. "We are not an easy act to follow," says Ronald Boldt with pride.

A job for goldsmiths and toolmakers In other words, there are no limits to what his employees can make. And SINN cases are distinguished by their typical characteristics. They comprise individual components such as push-pieces, crowns, bezels, seals, backs, screws and springs, and are three-dimensional structures made of stainless steel, titanium, gold or in the case of SINN diver's watches submarine steel. That requires specially developed tools and technologies, not only for the manufacturing process. Watch cases are also characterised by their need to meet both aesthetic and technological demands. Ronald Boldt describes it aptly: "Making a watch case requires you to be both a goldsmith and a toolmaker." The first step in this symbiosis of workmanship involves creating a production-ready, photorealistic 3D design on the basis of the specifications. After fine-tuning and approving the design, Ronald Boldt prepares the sets of drawings for the individual components and the tools that will be used to complete the second step in the production process. "This is value creation in the truest sense of the word. You take a workpiece a rod, disk or circular blank and lathe and mill it to create the finished components." The subsequent third step involves what he calls "artistic handiwork" the finishing process, i.e. grinding and polishing the surface of the case."The results must be outstanding, because if they are not outstanding, they are rejected," he says in reference to the extremely high quality standards that leave no room for compromise. Finally, the individual components are assembled to create the finished product. The completed cases are then tested for pressure and water resistance and sent to SINN. The next step in the process of creating a highquality special watch is carried out in Frankfurt am Main. It involves not only assembling and installing the movement, dial, hands and strap/bracelet, but above all integrating the SINN technologies.

Nothing escapes his critical gaze: Dr Ronald Boldt checking a case. The 3D shop drawing, specially designed for use by the production department, can be seen in the background. This drawing constitutes the first step in the process of producing a SINN watch case.

SINN cases a creative challenge Each SINN case is given an individual quality assurance number, making it a unique specimen that must be water-resistant and protect the sensitive interior workings from dust and impact after assembly. But there is an additional element involved which, according to Ronald Boldt, "presents an ongoing creative challenge." He is referring to the fact that SUG also manufactures the cases for the pilot's and diver's watches, i.e. models which SINN has specially developed for use by professionals. They feature such technologies as HYDRO, Special Oil, Ar-Dehumidifying Technology, DIAPAL, TEGIMENT and Magnetic Field Protection as well as extras like captive bezels and high-pressure resistance. And all of these technical features that are so characteristic of SINN watches place enormous demands on the construction and manufacturing of the cases. There are no off-the-peg solutions to these difficult tasks. Which means the SUG staff must constantly be searching for new methods and approaches. "This is an area where SINN Spezialuhren lives up to its name these are truly 'special watches," says Ronald Boldt. Take the U2 diving watch, for example: what other manufacturer is called upon to make a watch case out of submarine steel, a material that is scarcely ever used for watches? And the case must be capable of integrating Ar-Dehumidifying Technology and Special Oil, and it must fulfil the stringent testing requirements of Germanischer Lloyd in terms of pressure resistance, temperature resistance and functionality.

What makes a watch a "special watch" It is therefore crucial for SINN watch cases to fulfil these technical demands. In addition to protecting the movement, the case also has to ensure smooth operation of the watch's various technological features. And there is a further factor: the ideas behind the technologies are realised in two important steps, namely the engineering design at the drafting table and the actual production on the CNC machine. In other words, it is the cases made by SUG in collaboration with the SINN development engineers that make SINN watches "special watches." "Many of the technologies in SINN watches are made possible by the special construction of the watch case," explains Ronald Boldt. Magnetic Field Protection, for example, requires the use of special materials developed to provide the particular characteristics required by the case. Of course, he is not revealing what those traits are.

From the idea through to production readiness The development of the D3 system is a good example of the process from the initial concept by SINN engineers to series production of the case by SUG. This horological innovation creates a seamless seal by inserting the push-piece pins and crown shafts directly in a specially finished drill hole in the case (the name D3 comes from "Direkt Doppel Dichtend", the German words for "direct double sealing"). The D3-system permits the crown and push-piece to be integrated in the case, providing reliable protection from lateral impact and the penetration of dust or moisture. "The D3 system is a simple and effective sealing method that is both reliable and easy to assemble and service. It provides a better seal because it has fewer transition points between the interior and the exterior. But actually realising and implementing this solution was a real challenge in terms of design and production," Boldt explains. SINN watches display the distinctive wordmark He is aware that although SUG makes first-class products, the company's name is unfamiliar to many watch lovers and connoisseurs. Perhaps because they aren't interested in knowing who manufactured their watch case. Possibly because the case doesn't bear the distinctive wordmark. But SINN watches are different. They all feature the three letters SUG a symbol of high-quality between the case lugs. Does he regret that the SUG brand often takes a back seat to that of the watch itself? No problem, says Ronald Boldt. "In my opinion what is most important is that industry experts know who we are. The experts are familiar with our work, they trust and respect us, and know we can handle virtually any task involved in manufacturing top-rate watch cases." So it's only fitting that SUG is featured in a display case at the German Horological Museum in Glashtte, where visitors learn what the company stands for technologically sophisticated watch cases and firstclass precision engineering from one of Germany's most famous and respected watchmaking regions.

The individual parts are put together to form a complete case during final assembly; shown here is the EZM 7 Mission Timer for the fire brigade.

Dr.-Ing. Ronald Boldt, born in 1947, completed vocational training in mechanical engineering in Leipzig before earning a degree (Dipl-Ing.) in precision engineering at the Technical University in Dresden. From 1977 to 1989 he worked as a design engineer for special machinery at VEB Glashtter Uhrenbetriebe (GUB). Beginning in 1990 he served as the company's head design engineer and authorised signatory for the technology division, and was also responsible for technology and quality assurance. Under his leadership the East German company made the transition from large-scale producer to flexible manufacturer of small parts. He was also heavily involved in developing the first high-quality mechanical calibre (automatic movement 1-10-30) produced by the company after a long hiatus. He co-founded SUG in December of 1999 together with Lothar Schmidt (Dipl-Ing,), the owner of Sinn Spezialuhren. He has been co-owner and managing director since 1 April 1999. Under his leadership the company has grown from a three-man operation into one of Europe's most renowned manufacturers of watch cases. 27

We design our Mission Timers (EZM models) for use by professionals for whom being able to time events precisely and quickly could mean the difference between life and death. These include special forces such as the maritime unit of the German Federal Police Force, the GSG 9 unit, the fire brigade or divers on professional missions. This is why all our Mission Timers are developed with particular functions in mind. They embody the SINN philosophy of allowing functional and handling factors to define the form.

As a consequence, the design of our Mission Timers concentrates on the essential features. They are all distinguished by their superior readability and rapid time-recording characteristics. Some Mission Timers are equipped with special functions depending on their field of use.

Astronaut-scientist Dr. Ernst Messerschmid on the D1 Spacelab Mission

Fascination of space travel

Even people who have never orbited like a real astronaut are fascinated by the idea of space flight. The aerospace industry has already created a multitude of benefits in telecommunication, navigation, earth observation, space research and many other technological fields. But the biggest benefit may be the fact that more and more people are beginning to see our world the way astronauts do as a small, beautiful planet, an island in the vast and unfriendly reaches of the galaxy with only a limited amount of space for its inhabitants who live in constant conflict with Mother Nature.

Astronaut-scientist Dr. Ernst Messerschmid and Dr. Reinhard Furrer (see picture to the right) were crew members on the first German Spacelab Mission D1 and received the Federal Service Cross First Class.

Shortly before the D1 mission, Prof. Dr. Reinhard Furrer bought his SINN model 140 S and used it to prove primarily that automatic watches can be wound through movement even under weightless conditions. Furrer died during an air show in Berlin on 9 September 1995.

From the early beginnings of space flight to today, only a few people have enjoyed the privilege of actually going there. The first Europeans received the opportunity to live and work in space as "astronaut scientists" with the development of the Spacelab system, which began immediately following the successful Apollo missions of the USA in the early 1970s. This was Europe's first access to manned space flight. Just two years after Ulf Merbold participated in the first joint NASA and ESA Spacelab mission, Reinhard Furrer and I were selected to orbit the earth for a week and conduct some 100 scientific experiments as part of the D1 German Spacelab mission. When Reinhard Furrer and I both of us were physicists began our astronaut training in early 1983, we were breaking new ground at the German Aerospace Centre, at NASA and in the public's perception. Previously there had been only American astronauts and Russian cosmonauts, and most of them were test pilots, a few were engineers, but hardly any were scientists. Up until then, science had taken a back seat at least, it was not considered particularly important to the struggles the two superpowers were engaged in, both on earth and in space.

When the Europeans expressed interest in participating in the development of the American space shuttle in the 1970s, they were initially given the cold shoulder. All that was offered to them was a small module considered by many to be of little importance, which the shuttle could also have flown without namely the Spacelab, built by European engineers, most of them Germans. If we had not hailed from the country of Hermann Oberth, Werner von Braun and other important pioneers of space flight, we would have had even more trouble being accepted by our more powerful partners. The goal of the D1 Spacelab Mission STS-61A, which lasted from 10 October to 6 November 1985, was to conduct a variety of scientific experiments in diverse fields, e.g. fluid physics, materials research, process engineering, medicine and biology. The experiments were designed to be conducted in microgravity, so they could only be carried out in the weightlessness of space. Previously unexplored effects on fluidmechanic interface and solidification responses were investigated, and chemical reactions in the various objects under investigation were analysed, including the effects of weightlessness on the human body and the behaviour of various materials such as liquids, alloys, composites and crystals.

On the D1 mission in 1985 we had atomic clocks on board in order to better understand the fundamentals for subsequent, satellite-supported navigation systems such as GPS and the European Galileo satellite system. Also on board was my colleague Reinhard Furrer, who had previously piloted oneengine planes across the Atlantic. During this time he had become acquainted with chronographs and astronavigation, which at least explains why he took his chronograph with him on the space flight. It was a Sinn 140 S chronograph, an automatic watch that performed flawlessly in space. I left my own chronograph at home, where it was promptly stolen from my home during my extraplanetary journey. Reinhard Furrer's attachment to this seemingly outdated technology was not just emotional and after all, who wouldn't want to take along the useful

tools they have come to love when setting out on an expedition? In addition to this understandable motivation, he knew that these chronographs provide reliable service in various situations pilots often face, where they must take action in real time, under stress, and can't afford to make any mistakes (Apollo 13: Failure is not an option). They have also been technically improved upon and increasingly also fulfil operational and aesthetic needs in ways that would not be possible with the kind of technical progress that sometimes results from basic research conducted as part of the space program.

Prof. Dr. Ernst Messerschmid

Ernst Messerschmid was born in Reutlingen in 1945. After studying physics in Tbingen and Bonn and earning his doctorate, he joined the German Aerospace Centre (Deutsche Forschungsanstalt fr Luft- und Raumfahrt, DLR) in Oberpfaffenhofen in 1978. In 1983 Messerschmid was named an astronaut-scientist, and he flew aboard the American space shuttle Challenger in 1985 on the week-long D1 Spacelab mission. In 1986 he was given a full professorship and appointed director of the Institute for Aerospace Systems at the University of Stuttgart, where he also served as dean of the aerospace technology faculty from 1990 to 1992 and pro-rector for research and technology from 1996 to 1998. From 2000 to 2005 he took a leave of absence from the University of Stuttgart to serve as head of the European astronaut centre of the European Space Agency in Cologne. While there, his responsibilities included selecting and training European astronauts for missions on board the International Space Station, ISS. His current research focuses on developing future space stations as well as strategies and scenarios for space missions to the moon, nearby asteroids and Mars. Major publications and awards: Messerschmid has published more than 150 scientific papers, authored or co-authored ten books and holds German and European patents. He has received the Federal Service Cross First Class, the medal of honour of the state of Baden-Wuertemberg, the NASA Space Flight Medal and Hermann Oberth Medal in Gold. He is also a member of the German Academy for Sciences Leopoldina, the German Academy of Engineering Sciences and the International Academy of Astronautics, among other organisations.

Set of dashboard clocks Individually configurable Model series 4.917

When Sinn Spezialuhren was founded in 1961, cockpit instruments and the precision they must maintain even under extreme conditions played a special role. They inspired Helmut Sinn, the company's founder and a pilot himself, to create his first aviation chronographs. But these on-board instruments are indispensable not only on airplanes and yachts. Fans of classic car rallies also rely on precision timepieces that are just as stylish as they are functional. These events require adherence to specified times in addition to excellent orientation and the perfect control of the vehicle. Now you and your team can select a combination of navigation instruments for the next rally or tour. For example, the dashboard clock, precise to the second, with a removable bezel. And up to two chronographs, with such features as a tachymeter scale, ascending or descending numerals, and flyback function. Perfect for setting target times and completing time trials successfully. These instruments can be securely fastened to the dashboard with the help of mounting plates made of satin-finished titanium. They can be removed easily by pressing on the bayonet joint (no chance for thieves!) and replaced as needed. And during the off-season, when there are no rallies to be run, the set of dashboard clocks looks good on your desk, for example. The elegant wooden display block pictured on the cover is available separately.

Mission Timers and Diving Watches.

SINN was the first company to manufacture diving watches that complied with European diving equipment standards, and the first to test and certify them for pressure resistance, water-resistance and enhanced freedom from fogging. The technical development of diving watches is one of the greatest challenges for engineers and watchmakers, because these timepieces must be absolutely waterresistant, perfectly readable in all lighting and water conditions and extremely durable. Our watches are the ideal Mission Timers.

CENTRAL THE CENTRE-MOUNTED STOP MINUTE COUNTER

The EZM 10 is the result of a development idea which first came about in 2003. Our declared aim throughout the development process has been to create a Mission Timer which meets the demands of a professional pilot's watch to perfection. Clear readability is of vital importance when pilots use a mechanical watch. And so the SINN SZ01 movement has been incorporated in this chronograph, which makes it much easier to read off stop times. Because the SZ01 is specially designed with a centre-mounted 60 minute stopwatch hand. This technical design feature has two advantages: firstly, 60 minutes are now counted in one sweep of the counter instead of the usual 30 minutes, and secondly, the minute stop scale covers the entire diameter of the dial, making it possible to read times off at a single glance. The chronograph function indicators have been coated with orange-coloured daylight luminous paint. This allows both the stopped times and the current time to be read in the ultraviolet light often used in darkened cockpits. But the EZM 10 is especially suitable for professional use not only on account of its clear readability but also because of the technologies incorporated. These include DIAPAL for a lubrication-free escapement, Ar-Dehumidifying Technology for maximum functional reliability and superior freedom from fogging, and Temperature Resistance Technology which ensures accurate timekeeping within a temperature range of 45 C to + 80 C. The large push-pieces are integrated in the case and help ensure that the chronograph is easy to handle even when wearing gloves. The push-pieces themselves are not screwed in and are effectively sealed by means of the D3 system which we developed ourselves. The EZM 10 looks highly impressive yet is comfortable to wear not least due to the bead-blasted case made from high-strength titanium with TEGIMENT Technology, used here for the first time in a SINN watch. The result is a distinct, high-performance pilot's watch which is eminently suitable for practical, everyday use and is resistant to high and low pressures of up to 20 bar. We provide a five year warranty on this model on account of its superior technological features (as we do on all models featuring DIAPAL Technology).

The captive bezel can even be set when wearing gloves like on our diver's watches. We have designed the EZM 7 for use in the most challenging conditions it is especially resilient to the penetration of water and dust, to scratches, changes in temperature and the influence of magnetic interference.

The key operation times at-a-glance.

Perfect coordination is called for the moment an emergency call is received by the fire brigade control centre. Regardless of whether a residential building is on fire, dangerous chemicals have escaped or there has been an accident involving a hazardous goods transporter the fire brigade and rescue service teams are on the scene immediately. All the rescue coordinators now need a clear overview of where they are in the rescue schedule. SINN Spezialuhren provides a mission timer with bezel to time all the key operation times at the turn of a ring: the EZM 7 (Einsatzzeitmesser = Mission Timer).

The increasing risks faced by fire brigades in recent years have given rise to enhanced technologies and resulted in stricter regulations. Physiological limits and the times stipulated in Service Manual FwDV 7 and FwDV 500 issued by the German fire service are used as the basis for the following maximum operation times: Using CSA (chemical protective suit): 20 min. Using PA (compressed air): 30 min. Using LPA (closed circuit): 60 min. Checks should be made at 1/3 and 2/3 of the maximum operation time. The thirds are marked by points at 10, 20 and 40 on the bezel. FwDV 500 states that the following times should not be exceeded for NBC operations: Standard decontamination (Decon level II) must be available for use after 15 minutes.

A fire-fighter weighed down with heavy equipment and breathing apparatus, feeling his way through an unfamiliar building while confronted with smoke and flammable gases, needs to concentrate 100% on the task at hand: getting people out of harm's way, extinguishing the fire and preventing the spread of dangerous substances. Fire-fighters are very often tested to their physical limits. Which makes it all the more important for the rescue coordinators to know exactly how long the individual teams have been in the building and which The Mission Timer 7 developed for the fire brigade. Every single action counts during a fire brigade call-out. When compressed air breathing

apparatus is used, operations need to be carefully timed by the operation chiefs to ensure their teams. Safety times should not be exceeded. There are strict breathing protection monitoring regulations. Each additional minute in the rescue zone can put lives at risk. Because the teams are at their physical limits when they pull back out. With the professional support of Chief Fire Inspector Toms Stanke we have developed a mission timer designed to make reading all the main operation times stipulated in the German fire service manuals (Feuerwehr-Dienstvorschrift) FwDV 7 and FwDV 500 as simple as possible. Featuring a clear set of safety symbols and the precision for which our specialist watches have long been renowned. From the maker of genuine pilot's watches and certified diving watches made from top quality German submarine steel: in situations where your own safety can depend on the reliability of your mechanical watch, the EZM 7 passes the acid test every time. Featuring innovative technologies which help ensure impressive levels of accuracy and reliability even under the most severe conditions.

The schematic representation of the main time phases for breathing protection and NBC rescue operations permits times to be read off at a glance.

Green for Dekon II Green/yellow for CSA

Yellow for PA Red for LPA

Black circles marking the first and second thirds of the maximum PA/LPA operation time.

Colour-coded bezel for breathing protection and NBC rescue operations We enlisted the services of Chief Fire Inspector Toms Stanke to help us design the colour-coded bezel and the pictogram on the dial. The scales are based on the traffic light colours green, yellow and red and help to provide a clear overview of the total durations in the first hour of the rescue, the so-called "chaos phase". They also show colour-coded rescue times for operations involving protection suits, CSA, PA, Dekon II and LPA. The zero point of the bezel is set to the minute hand (zero position) at the start of the rescue time to be measured. It can now immediately apparent when a team needs to be relieved, e.g. after 20 minutes in a protective suit CSA (green/yellow), after 30 minutes using PA (yellow) and after max. 60 minutes using LPA (red). Clear overview: the control points at 10, 20 and 40 minutes for the thirds checks for PA and LPA operations. In NBC rescue operations, the time when Dekon II is operational can be also be read off the green scale.

The colour-coded bezel of the EZM 7 corresponds to the pictogram on the dial, allowing the wearer to set and read off the key operation times in no time.

The 203 ARKTIS chronograph is our first diving watch to feature antifreeze technology. This means that it is guaranteed to run and function reliably even at exceptionally low temperatures. This watch passed its Arctic endurance test on the wrist of extreme diver Mario M. Weidner with flying colours! The 203 ARKTIS survived not only all the dives in the icy waters of the Arctic Ocean, but also sessions in the sauna on-board the research vessel. However, the true test of the watch's quality lay in coping with the extreme temperature fluctuations between those found in the water (freezing point) and those on land (up to 25 C) which represents a real challenge for a watch worn outside a thermal diving suit. Case made of stainless steel, polished unctionally reliable at temperatures from 45 C up to + 80 C F (upon request also available for 203 St) Ar-Dehumidyfing Technology enhances functional reliability and freedom from fogging (upon request also available for 203 St) Diver's bezel with minute ratcheting Sapphire crystal glass Pressure resistant to 30 bar (= 300 m water depth) Low pressure resistant 87

Germanischer Lloyd Certifies SINN Diving Watches

So what does Germanischer Lloyd have to do with a watch manufacturer from Frankfurt am Main? The renowned company tests and certifies our diving watches according to a variety of criteria: One test focuses on water-resistance and pressure resistance, while a second test procedure covers something never done before in the watchmaking industry: certification in accordance with the European standards for diving equipment!

The background: time plays a crucial role in survival on every dive. Diving watches must therefore be water-resistant, reliable and durable, and guarantee perfect readability in all lighting and water conditions. The information we provide about our diving watches is thus not merely captured in words, but proven in practice as well. Testing for water-resistance and pressure resistance Since 2005 Germanischer Lloyd has been testing our diving watches for water-resistance and pressure resistance.

In accordance with these certification standards, the U1 and the U1000 series are pressure resistant to 100 bar, while the U2 and U200 series are pressure resistant to 200 bar and the UX series is actually pressure resistant to any accessible diving depth. For this series, Germanischer Lloyd has confirmed the pressure resistance of the case to 12,000 meters and of the movement to 5,000 meters diving depth. The tests are repeated at regular intervals on all of these watches in order to document the consistency of the quality.

Two U1 models as well as a case are lowered into the pressure chamber.

Documentation issued by Germanischer Lloyd certifying the models U1, U2, UX and EZM 3 according to the European standards for diving devices EN250 and EN14143.

Premiere: certification for compliance with European diving equipment standards In a standardized test situation, will a diving watch deliver the same reliable performance as, say, a breathing apparatus? To answer this question, we were the first who have watches tested and officially certified according to the European standards for diving equipment. Also these tests are accomplished at regular intervals for all these watches. The testing and certification according to the European standards EN250 and EN14143 was completely new territory for both sides. This was the case because the standards for diving equipment cannot be applied to watches without modification. The experts at Germanischer Lloyd thus adapted the standards appropriately and defined two series of tests. In the first of the two, they put the timepieces in a test cabinet for three hours at 20 C, then for three more hours at + 50 C. The timepieces were subsequently checked for accuracy and functional reliability at both temperatures. In a second test the watches had to withstand three hours at 30 C and 3 hours at + 70 C with 95% humidity.

The result: Temperature resistance and perfect functioning were documented and certified for the watches in the U1, U1000 (since 2007), U2, U200 (since 2009) and EZM 3 series after both tests. The UX series watches were also certified, however these were subjected to a modified test involving temperatures between 20 C and + 60 C due to their battery operation and oil filling.
The safety standards authority for shipping. Germanischer Lloyd, based in Hamburg, is responsible for the technical safety of more than 5,700 oceangoing vessels. Its guidelines constitute a safety standard accepted worldwide for maritime shipping. Founded in 1867 In the 19th century, those who entrusted their goods to a ship or sailed on board as a crew member or passenger had to play it safe. Shipping magnates and merchants didn't want to rely only on the good reputation of the shipbuilder or captain. After all, the technical quality of a ship was crucial even then. In 1867 various shipping company owners took the initiative and formed a committee to advise on issues of ship classifications. Today, Germanischer Lloyd is one of the market leaders worldwide in the area of ship classification.

The 203 ARKTIS and the world's coldest race

Yukon Arctic Ultra

The adventures of Dominik Luksch provide further evidence that SINN watches can withstand even the toughest weather conditions. He took part in the Yukon Arctic Ultra, the coldest and most arduous race in the world and relied SINN model 203 ARKTIS (see boxes on page 112). He completed the 100-mile course on foot in 65 hours, pulling his equipment behind him on a sled. His journal provides insights into the kind of stress he and his watch were subjected to.

"Set out from Whitehorse, Canada, at 10:30 a.m. on 6 February 2011. The first 40 kilometers were flat and followed the course of the Yukon River. I found myself on an icy surface winding its way through the landscape. I reached the first checkpoint after seven hours. Had some soup, a sandwich and some cake, then continued down the Yukon. Because the sun was no longer shining, I needed a raincoat, rain trouser and protection for my face. The temperature sank to minus 35 degrees Celsius! My breath froze immediately when it came in contact with textiles or hair. My face protection froze immediately after I put it on. Icicles formed, and my eyelids stuck together if I kept them closed for more than a second. I kept going until the trail left the river and started getting hilly. Because it was getting a bit too strenuous, I stopped and set up my bivouac. Quickly unrolled my sleeping bag and thermal mat and got into my warm bed. The first night was almost too much for me! Extremely cold temperatures, so I even had to leave my face protection on all night."

Day1

"Getting up in the morning is torture when it means getting out of the warm sleeping bag and exposing yourself to the cold. For breakfast I had chocolate and tea, but the lid of my thermos froze stuck. I had to fire up my cooker and thaw out the pot. At about 6 a.m. it was time to get started. I'm beginning to notice how strenuous the trail is. It's uphill and down the whole time. On the way up the sled gets heavier and heavier, and on the way down it pushes me forward. My diet consists primarily of fat and sugar. But no matter how much I eat, an hour later I get hungry again, although my stomach is still full. I'm getting slower and slower; my uphill climbs are in slow motion. At the second checkpoint I packed some food and dried my face protector. After resting for an hour I continued on my way, keeping an eye out for a place to spend my second night in the cold. Found a place to camp, and blew up my insulating mattress before trying to fire up my cooker. After some initial difficulties I succeeded, but by that time the air had gone out of my mattress. So I had to blow it up again before I could lie down. Woke up an hour later and wondered why my back was so cold. The air had gone out of my mattress again! I blew it up one more time, but an hour later it was flat again. This time I didn't waste any more air on it, but just put on my thermal pants and went back to sleep."

Day2

"The next morning, walking was even more difficult. The sled was heavy, my back hurt and my strength waned. Every kilometer toward the goal was a struggle. Around noon I was exhausted and took a long break. According to plan, I was supposed to reach the checkpoint between 2 and 6 p.m. I remained optimistic, but about an hour and a half after lunch I was overcome by exhaustion once again, and my pace slowed drastically. Sometimes I was so slow that swimming would have been faster. On top of everything else, I started to notice a throbbing pain in my right heel. But I had to keep going. Another hour and a half later I found myself in another slump. I wanted to continue, but I couldn't take another step. So I took out my sleeping bag and collapsed on top of my sled."

Day3

No rest for the weary: Dominik Luksch and the other participants trudged onward toward the finish line, pulling their equipment behind them on sleds.

Extreme conditions that put man and material to the test: Dominik Luksch with a frozen face protector and the 203 ARKTIS on his wrist, outside his protective clothing.

"Woke up at 2 in the morning, thinking, "I'm supposed to be at the goal line at 10:30 a.m.!" So I got back under way at a pretty fast pace, but with pain in my heel and knee. My GPS said it was another four kilometers to the next checkpoint. The trail was getting worse. Uphill and down, an arduous ordeal, especially when you're totally exhausted. Suddenly the path led downhill to a frozen lake. On the level surface the going was easier, but eventually I reached the other side of the lake, and the steep bank was a challenge. The snow was soft and my heavy equipment weighed me down; I had to use my hands and crawl up. Then the path led through a forest, always uphill and down. Suddenly I spied a sign of civilization: a utility pole and an illuminated transformer building! Soon afterwards I was elated to find a road and a sign saying Braeburn. The roadhouse was just 30 meters away, and I could see the banner of the finish line. I took a quick photo, and then hurried to the finish line. I could hardly believe it! Now it's 3:30 in the morning, and I'm exhausted but I can't sleep. At about nine I'll get in a car for the trip back to Whitehorse."

Day4

Made it! Dominik Luksch proudly poses for photographers at the finish line. He covered the 100 miles in 65 hours well under the time limit.

Aerobatic pilot relies on SINN watches

The Yukon Arctic Ultra The trail of the Yukon Arctic Ultra follows the course of the Yukon Quest, the world's most demanding dogsled race. There are four distances to choose from (marathon, 100 miles, 300 miles, 430 miles), which are to be completed within a given time using a mountain bike, cross country skis or on foot. The various disciplines may not be combined. The trail is clearly marked, but in case of falling or drifting snow the markings can be difficult to find. Sometimes they get run over or removed. Due to the extremely cold temperatures in the Yukon wilderness, the non-stop nature of the race and the vast distances involved, the Yukon Arctic Ultra is the world's coldest and toughest ultra-race. Situations that would normally present no problem can be life-threatening here. Source: www.arcticultra.de.

RALF NIEBERGALL
With his aircraft, a Siai Marchetti SF-260, Ralf Niebergall arouses nostalgic memories among the spectators at air shows. But when it comes to modern time measurement on the ground and in the air, the aerobatic pilot from Neuwied relies exclusively on watches made by Sinn Spezialuhren zu Frankfurt am Main.

A list showing the arrival and departure times hangs at the checkpoint in Braeburn.

The 203 ARKTIS The Yukon Arctic Ultra represents a tremendous challenge for its participants and their equipment. Reliable measuring of time play a vital role, as the participants always need to know what time it is, how long they've been underway and whether they are within their time plan. Dominik Luksch relied on the 203 ARKTIS, the diving chronograph featuring cold technology. During the race he wore the watch outside of his protective clothing at all times, which meant it was totally exposed to the elements. The watch was reliable even during the night thanks to its optimal readability. The watch's accuracy was absolutely remarkable, with a deviation of just 0.625 seconds per day. After the race, Dominik Luksch was convinced: "This watch is a reliable, accurate instrument that I wouldn't have wanted to be without."

Ralf Niebergall relies on his Duochronograph 757 UTC.

This is not a coincidence. After all, safety is the most important thing in aerobatics. The family has owned the plane since 1980. Built in 1967, this "Ferrari of the skies" is a true classic aeroplane, in which Ralf Niebergall completed his pilot's training. He got his pilot's license in 1987. Since then he has put 1,400 hours of flying time under his belt, over 600 of them in aerobatics. He became familiar with the SINN brand while serving in the army. A hobby has turned into nine successful years of collaboration with the company. "With regard to SINN, I'm a true believer. The company manufactures pilots' watches that withstand enormous stresses and are absolutely reliable. Which is vitally important to me as a pilot", he explains. What sounds like a platitude has a concrete background. Airplanes like the

Marchetti have the shortcoming that their fuel tank indicators do not always function accurately. In order to calculate the fuel quantity and flight time, Niebergall used to rely on the Pilot's Chronograph 103 and the Navigation Cockpit Chronograph NaBo 54. More recently, this task has been accomplished with the aid of the Duochronograph 757 UTC. "I know that these watches will never let me down. No other brand can compare to a SINN watch", says Ralf Niebergall of the indestructible functionality of the watches.

The World of expeditions

ARVED FUCHS

Arved Fuchs is the most famous adventurer in Germany. At least, this is how the native of SchleswigHolstein (state of Germany) is frequently described in the media. This is all the more surprising because two elements of the statement are not quite correct. Indisputably, Arved Fuchs is well-known. However, this is an understatement to say the least, as the resident of Bad Bramstedt has a firm place in the history of the world's polar explorers. Furthermore, the professional designation he considers appropriate sounds considerably more prosaic. He sees himself as an expedition leader who gives lectures and works as a writer, journalist and film-maker. he explored Greenland by dogsled; and he rounded Cape Horn in a collapsible boat in the winter of 1984. In 1993 he sailed through the Northwest Passage within one year without an icebreaker. His boat, the "Dagmar Aaen", a shark cutter restored in 1988, was the first sailboat to circumnavigate all of North and South America without an icebreaker. In 2000 he retraced the legendary Shackleton expedition in a historically accurate replica of Arved Fuchs: Polar explorer, expedition leader, journalist and film-maker. the "James Caird" lifeboat, sailed For more than thirty years he has led expeditions to through the famous Northeast Passage on his the most remote corners of the globe frequently fourth attempt in 2002, and crossed the Northwest under extreme conditions. For example, in 1977 Passage for the second time between 2003 and there was the two-month trip up the De Pas 2004. In 2006 he traveled around Ellesmere Island, and George Rivers in the Canadian province of the tenth largest island in the world, by dogsled Quebec in traditional Indian canoes. That was and on skis. All this is impressive enough. But in followed by numerous other journeys. In 1981 1989 he made history: in temperatures as low he crossed the Atlantic in a sailboat; in 1983 as 52 C, his eight-member expedition team 114

In 1996 the "Dagmar Aaen" became the first sailing ship to circumnavigate North and South America without an icebreaker.

struggled across 1000 kilometers in 56 days to the North Pole. In the same year he reached the South Pole with Reinhold Messner as well. He was thus the first German to reach both poles and the first person to do it on skis. Thirty years of cracking glaciers, glittering icebergs, inhuman cold. It seems that Arved Fuchs can't tear himself away from the eternal ice. Whether with sled dogs, on skis, on foot or by boat, for him it's always a "journey to the kingdom of the senses", as he explained in an interview. "In the silence there you can truly hear nature, hear the wind, your sense of

smell is intensified, you see things differently and more intensely. For me it's an incredibly beautiful landscape." At the same time these expeditions are the fulfillment of a childhood dream. Even as a small boy, he was spellbound by the fascinating stories of famous polar explorers and learned the legends of the North. "Our family read a lot, and the bookshelves were full of books and reports on Nansen, James Cook, Magellan and many others.

I found it absolutely fascinating. I also loved outdoor sports such as hiking, riding, sailing and skiing, and foreign cultures and new situations were always exciting." He began organizing his first expeditions during his training as a seaman in the merchant marine. He abandoned his studies in marine engineering to fulfill his dream of becoming an expedition leader. With regard to carrying out these expeditions, Arved Fuchs sees himself as a meticulous craftsman. He believes that expedition management is a profession that can be learned. Fuchs is very team-oriented in his work, with a strong sense of responsibility. To him, adventures are creative moments in the mind. They give him the freedom to think outside the box. His objective

Even under the toughest climatic conditions, Arved Fuchs swears by the reliability and suitability of the U2 for everyday use.

is not success at any price. He is convinced that no expedition is worth a human life. His undertakings are always precisely planned down to the tiniest detail. What's important is to achieve control of the calculable risks precisely because unforeseeable risks are always present. The equipment is part of the meticulous preparation. When it comes to time measurement, this connoisseur of mechanical watches has relied on the U2 since June 2007. He particularly values the uncompromising durability of this diving watch. For instance, despite everything his watch has been through, there are no scratches on the crystal or the case. In his opinion, the U2 is better than watches made by other manufacturers with regard to suitability for everyday use. "On my expeditions I can't worry about handling a watch carefully. I don't need a piece of pretty jewelry. I need reliable equipment a watch that works perfectly under water, on land and in sub-zero temperatures, and that I can rely on one hundred percent, that gives me the exact time under any circumstances and all climatic conditions. And I have all that with the U2", says Arved Fuchs, impressed by the reliable mechanics.

For Arved Fuchs, expeditions are "journeys in the kingdom of the senses" and the fulfillment of a childhood dream.

In addition to the durability of the watch, there are particular technologies he favors. For instance, the U2 has a second time zone, which becomes crucially important in regions where daylight lasts 24 hours. It's clear that precise time measurement is required for reliable navigation and the U2 plays a crucial role in this despite state-of-the-art satellite technology. "Other watches keep accurate time, too. But what distinguishes the U2 is the perfect combination of various special features and technologies." Naturally, as a seaman he is familiar with Germanischer Lloyd and its high quality standards. He knows that SINN has

its diving watches tested and certified there. This plays a major role in his decision of which watch to purchase. "This goes beyond run-of-the-mill marketing. With this certification, SINN has undertaken to document the high-performance functionality of its watches on a voluntary basis. To me that is a true sign of quality."

The U2 in use in harsh climatic conditions

TIM THOMPSON
The best stories are drawn from everyday life for instance, that of Canadian Tim Thompson. He lives in the northeastern part of Ontario in the Timmins region, where the climatic conditions are very harsh. The area is known for extreme temperature fluctuations: in summer the mercury rises up to 40 C, dropping down to 50 C in winter. But this story is particularly interesting because Tim Thompson has been the proud possessor of the U2 diving watch made by Sinn Spezialuhren zu Frankfurt am Main since December 2005. I had to make up my own word "testostoronial". It was very substantial, very foreboding, a huge chunk of metal filled with interesting innovations. Over the course of the winter, I ended up wearing it on the outside of my gloves while cleaning out the driveway in vicious storm. It never stopped, never fogged, never lost time. It looked like it was the real deal. I then tested it further to reassure myself that this watch would never let me down. I left it outside in 30's temps for the entire night and then brought it in and immersed it immediately in super hot water in my sink. Throughout the whole test, it never slowed, stopped or fogged. Absolutely unbelievable. It's been on my glove while ice-fishing, blowing the driveway with my snowblower and other winter activities. It's seen blizzards, rainstorms, extreme cold and summer temperatures of +38 celsius and long exposures to these temps.
Tim Thompson proudly shows off his much-loved U2.

15X loupe. Its crystal is unblemished. The outer a/r coating is perfect. The ETA movement is still keeping to its initial +3.5 to 5 sec./day accuracy. I cannot find any imperfections with my U2 after 20 months of extreme abuse. Mr. Schmidt, I feel that you made this watch specifically for me and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for all of your efforts and for developing the innovations which I find are not just a marketing thing but actual real and practical applications to make my watch survive what I have exposed it to. My only regret was that you did not have this available when I was mining gold underground. It would have been the only watch which could have survived 15 years in the harshest environment on earth. I would have proudly wore it to the depths if it had existed when I mined. Every scratch and scrape, a battlescar to be shown with pride."

"Good Day Mr. Schmidt, we are a strange lot here. We are an outdoor bunch and don't usually sit inside during the winter months. Winter here can be 5 months long with snow cover sometimes exceeding that. So, we ski, snowmobile and ice-fish and once a year in Cochrane, we go polar-dipping. Except for skiing, I'm active in the above mentioned winter activities and usually like to wear my watch on the outside of my glove. The problem is that I had not encountered a watch that could operate at these temperatures and/or handle being directly exposed to these environmental conditions 118 for extended periods. Either they would slow down, stop or fog up, or all the above. Quartz would just stop completely. The info you provided on the technical and operational aspects of your new U2 just blew me away. Could this be the watch I was looking for? I waited impatiently for a few months and then took possession of my new U2 on Dec 31, 2005. I was completely taken with the build quality and attention to detail. The whole package just screamed German engineering. I had never seen anything like it. It was so over the top, I couldn't find it.

I have not made any arrangements to safeguard it from the dangers of daily wear. It's been everywhere I have been and seen every kind of abuse you could imagine in daily life, and my daily life is more abusive to a watch than most others. I swam with it and wore it on my wrist as I put new dock posts in, in filthy murky waters, It's seen salt from the road salt we deposit in winter to melt the ice. I have whacked it super hard when I took a serious fall on the ice. It nailed the ice, directly, at breakneck speed. I wore it while gathering maple syrup during the spring syrup season and while operating my Huskvarna chainsaw. Through all of this, there is no damage, no denting, no gouging, no scraping and no scratches, not even scratches which could not hide from my

Tim Thompson's testimonial provides impressive proof that SINN watches function perfectly even under extreme conditions. It just goes to show that mechanical watches are the most reliable especially when they enjoy the added protection provided by innovative SINN technologies. While normal signs of wear and tear are inevitable, you can keep them to a minimum by not subjecting your watch to unnecessary stress and strain. Unless of course you happen to live in Canada or another locale with a comparable climate, where exposure to extreme conditions is unavoidable.

The 757 DIAPAL proves a reliable companion in Patagonia

CHRISTIAN MOSER
"There is a place where you feel like if you were any closer to your Creator, you could shake hands." This is the poetic claim Chile uses to attract tourists to Patagonia, and it aptly describes the beauty and grandeur of the region. Patagonia is definitely off the beaten track indeed, for many it is the very epitome of remoteness and adventure. Perhaps that is why this part of the world, for which there are no fixed geographic boundaries, seems so magical and irresistible. the name "Patagonia". Because of their size, he called the native Tehuelche Indians "patagones", a reference to a giant named Patagn in a chivalrous novel popular at the time. The wild and breathtakingly beautiful region of Patagonia has become home to Christian Moser, a native of Austria who emigrated to Chile in the year 2000. Stretching 4000 kilometers along the west coast of South America, Chile has several very diverse climatic zones. Moser, who claims to have an "adventurer gene", lives in Puerto Natales. The city with 19,000 inhabitants serves as the base camp for excursions into the famous Torres del Paine National Park and for tours of Patagonia. The fact that the next closest town is 250 kilometers away gives an indication of how vast and remote this part of the world is. Moser joined the Austrian military when he was 19 and received special training as a paratrooper. One of his missions took him to Cyprus, where he served for ten months in 1990-91 as a member of the UN Rapid Reaction Force. After undergoing additional training programs including survival training, and after visiting many other countries, he came to Chile to work as a free-lance trekking and mountain guide. Of course, his passion for modern hiking and mountain climbing was instilled in his home country and honed through his military training. The decision to move to Chile was of his own volition. He had always had a fondness for South America, and the mountains, glaciers, lakes and forests of Patagonia convinced him to stay there.

Patagonia A beautiful landscape where Mother Nature shows her wild side.

Christian Moser: Organizer and leader of trekking and mountainclimbing tours.

Located at the southern tip of South America, Patagonia has two very different topographies. Western Patagonia, which belongs to Chile, is a mountainous area of stone and ice, with innumerable fjords and Pacific islands. The spectacular peaks of the Andes command respect as they tower in the sometimes gray, sometimes blue sky. The landscape seems surreal, bizarre, mysterious. Eastern Patagonia is larger and belongs to Argentina. "You will find nothing there. There is nothing in Patagonia.", the Argentine poet Jorge Luis Borges wrote of this tranquil, largely deserted place. What Borges meant with "nothing" is the sheer vastness, the seemingly endless space, the unceasing wind. The explorer Ferdinand Magellan went ashore in Santa Cruz, as the east coast is called, in 1520, and it was he who gave the region 120

For nearly ten years now, Moser has been organizing and leading trekking and mountain-climbing tours for adventurous Europeans. The tours are very challenging, both physically and mentally, for their participants. Not only do they have to deal with boulders and heaps of rubble, they sometimes also have to get up in the middle of the night to go mountain climbing. There are also extreme temperature fluctuations, particularly in northern Chile, along with steady winds of up to 140 kilometers per hour, paired with high-altitude sandstorms in the mountains. At elevations of more than 5500 meters, the air is thin: venturesome mountaineers have only 50 percent as much oxygen as they are normally accustomed to. "For our mountain expeditions, optimal acclimatization and the use of state-of-the-art equipment are a matter of course," Moser says on his website, www.moseractive.cl. And of course, that state-of-the-art equipment also includes his watch. His constant companion since September 2009 is the 757 DIAPAL model. Because he wears it over his sleeve, it is exposed to extreme weather conditions. A long-time fan of mechanical watches, Moser has been interested in robust timepieces he can rely on 100 percent since his days as a paratrooper. And he knows he can count on his 757 DIAPAL. His tours last several days and are organized with military precision. A reliable watch is indispensable for adhering to the strict schedule. "Because we often

have to climb mountains in the middle of the night, it's essential for me to have a watch I can read easily in the dark. So the large luminous triangle on the bezel of the 757 is very helpful to me," Moser says. And the TEGIMENT and DIAPAL Technologies have also proven themselves under the extremely difficult day-to-day conditions in Patagonia. "I'm extremely satisfied with my watch. It is perfect for tours in the wilderness, because in spite of the cold, the rocky boulders and the sand, it shows hardly any signs of wear and tear, and still runs perfectly. It's resistant to abrasions, and it's designed to be extremely functional, with no superfluous frills. And although it may look a little clunky, it feels good on my arm." Moser offers an extreme example to demonstrate that the 757 DIAPAL leaves absolutely nothing to be desired in terms of precision, functionality and freedom from fogging: "Once I left the watch out in the cold overnight. It was 25 degrees below zero, at an altitude of 4300 meters. Early the next morning I lowered on a rope into a geyser that was about 50 degrees hot. Even after this extreme temperature difference, the watch still worked. And thanks to its dehumidifying technology, it didn't even fog up." No wonder Christian Moser considers the 757 DIAPAL the best there is, thanks to its technological superiority and "quality based on years of experience."
