Re: A Great Light Has Gone Out - R.I.P. Helmut Sinn
So when does Michael Kobold release his statement saying that he knew him?
Re: A Great Light Has Gone Out - R.I.P. Helmut Sinn
He will be missed by watch collectors around the world
Glad I got a older Sinn that was made when he owned the company

Will be switching to his 100 yr birthday tribute watch when I get home.
RIP Mr. Sinn.

RIP there were many who respected and enjoyed the mans work.
Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?

I'm sure Sinn was very proud of PT Kobold.

That didn't take long. He probably already had it drafted and ready to fire at will.CGSshorty wrote:JP Chestnut wrote:So when does Michael Kobold release his statement saying that he knew him?

As much as I do like the old Kobold/Sinn... I can now say I have no plan to ever get one. Too bad Sinn took him on at his start... but I’m sure he actually had money to pay for his work back then.

Did they just refer to a dead person as being a living legend?hoppyjr wrote:Here’s the full text. Referring to oneself in the third-person.
A life well lived, RIP.
Re: A Great Light Has Gone Out - R.I.P. Helmut Sinn
On TZ UK there’s a Kobold/Sinn 156 for sale.
One of 20? Replacement parts.

Sad to hear this. RIP.
Re: A Great Light Has Gone Out - R.I.P. Helmut Sinn
So does this mean Helmut isn't driving one of the fire trucks?
Too soon?

We should leave Kobold out of this Sinn had nothing to do with Kobold watches co. at the end of his life. Never heard of any one getting screwed by Sinn. He had the love of watches that we all have here.

I don't see how a guy dying at 102 is something to be sad about.
cheers,

I think you misunderstood the comments; it’s all negative on Kobold, not Sinn.River Rat wrote:We should leave Kobold out of this Sinn had nothing to do with Kobold watches co. at the end of his life. Never heard of any one getting screwed by Sinn. He had the love of watches that we all have here.
Re: A Great Light Has Gone Out - R.I.P. Helmut Sinn
Agreed. He made it to 102 and that’s plenty.cdnwatchguy wrote:I don't see how a guy dying at 102 is something to be sad about.
A couple other things come to mind...
- While Sinn started the company that bears his name, aren’t most of the watches that we associate with the brand more the work of Lothar Schmidt?
- Wasn’t Sinn a fighter pilot for the bad guys in WW2?

Nobody's gonna fight him for the credit of Kobold, that's for sure.toxicavenger wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2018 8:06 pmwhat a killjoy hoppy. we all wanted to believe he was the man behind it all.hoppyjr wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2018 7:42 pmAgreed.
