Introducing Heimat 1746, A Classic Watch from Sinn in Tribute to Frankfurt

Sinn Watch Company was founded in Frankfurt, Germany, in 1961 by pilot and watchmaker Helmut Sinn. The company initially specialized in manufacturing aviation watches and chronographs. During the 1980s and 1990s, it became one of the most renowned watch companies in Germany. The company implements strict protocols for testing its watches before releasing them to ensure reliability in extreme conditions. Today, Sinn watches are known for their exceptional quality and durability.

Over the years, the German company has changed its headquarters several times. To mark the occasion of its return to its original headquarters in the Frankfurt am Main area, the company launched a special edition to celebrate this homecoming: the Heimat 1746 watch.
