Sinn makes their Watches & Wonders debut this year. It’s kind of a big deal, or should be, in our community, and honestly it’s not being talked about enough. Watches & Wonders is the premier trade show in our industry, but unlike Basel World (where Sinn was well represented before that show’s demise) it’s not a full representation of the watch industry. It’s selective, and focused primarily on luxury brands that are part of large luxury groups, and primarily Swiss luxury brands at that. This year’s show expands in a meaningful way with the addition not just of Sinn, but of Credor (a Japanese brand) and Audemars Piguet (technically independent, and inarguably one of the most important brands in our industry commercially). But Sinn feels like ours, they are an enthusiast staple through and through.
Sinn has announced a small series of novelties ahead of Watches & Wonders, and we’ll be bringing you coverage of all of them after we get some hands-on time with the watches next week. But today we’ll focus just for a moment on what is likely the most straightforward, tool oriented release of the bunch, and maybe of the entire Watches & Wonders event this year, the 544 and 544 RS.
I’m not a huge fan of the “Go Anywhere, Do Anything” tag that often gets lumped in with watches like this, but that, I think, is truly what we are looking at here. The 544 is a completely new offering from the brand, but collectors will likely notice that the case seems derived from the 144 chronograph series as well as the Sinn 244. It comes in stainless steel, with a case measuring 38.5mm in diameter with a lugless, hooded design that gives it an integrated look.
The dial is about as rudimentary as you can get – matte black with the Sinn logo at 12:00 and simple baton indices at each out, with Arabic numerals at the outer perimeter. The RS version substitutes the white seconds hand for red, which on this model seems almost transgressive.
The 544 watches run on a Sellita SW200-2 automatic movement, with a date window framed at the 3:00 position. The case is water resistant to 200 meters, which I think is pretty impressive given the slim lines of the case, which is just 10mm tall, and has an exhibition caseback. If you prefer something other than the H-link bracelet that is a common feature on many Sinn watches, the 544 also ships with leather and rubber straps.
Pricing is set at $2,170. Sinn
