SINN watches on rough road simulation track

Have you ever wondered how our watches would react to huge jolts and vibrations? Can they truly withstand the impact as they all claim?

Well, Sinn has the answer to this. In order to demonstrate how their watches would react to shocks, they contacted the internationally-recognised Fauenhofer-Institut LBF of over 70 years in experience, to put their watches to the test. They conducted a no mean-feat endurance test on 5 different Sinn models where the watches are fastened onto the steering wheel of a test chassis on a simulated rough road track.

The classic watches such as the Frankfurt Finance (model 6000) are deliberately chosen in this test to showcase the hardiness of the watches. Despite the enormous stress levels to which the Sinn watches were subjected, they all passed with flying colors; proving their robustness and suitability for everyday use, even when exposed to extreme vibration and jolts.

The next time you look at your Sinn piece sitting at your wrist, you know that it’s a tough cookie.
