Sinn Regulator Photomontage  0 Comments

Published Friday, February 08, 2008 by Harry SK Tan |

 

I am not sure why this watch looks this good. On paper, Sinn watches are considered workhorses or described at best - tool watches. Watches for the working man designed and made to withstand the daily grind and punishment. While the Regulator is not a new model, this rose gold model, just released this year is quite photogenic. The combination of machine guiloche silver dial with the tan crocodile strap simply works. On the wrist, this watch looks like it came from the well known watch marques.
Unfortunately, the price of this Sinn - and it appears as well for the new models coming out this year - is getting prohibitive. Almost to a point where collectors are forced to consider much more carefully of the alternative choices available. This is especially so when the movement on this watch is what I would consider pedestrian and the level of finish is not anywhere near the quality luxury Swiss watches.
Every successful brand goes through an evolutionary process and Sinn is no different. With the success of several of its models, Sinn has gotten bolder and more ambitious but I hope it does not speed along too fast ahead in its pricing as it could prove detrimental.
To view how much Sinn has progressed in its watch making quality, CLICK HERE to see the Sinn Regulator. Consider for yourself, whether Sinn has indeed moved up in the ranks of watchmaking and whether this watch deserves the price tag it asks for.
