Agreed. He made it to 102 and that’s plenty.
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?
what a killjoy hoppy.
we all wanted to believe he was the man behind it all.

A great character and some great, practical, functional watches without getting your pants pulled down, much like the much overlooked Guinand. RIP indeed!
