Featured German Watch...Sinn 757 Diapal
I decided I wanted to go back to this series and hone in on some specific models within the brands.Today's choice-Sinn 757 Diapal (details and pic from watchbuys)This watch is a product of Sinn listening to its customers. Last year, Sinn released two new models - the Sinn 757 and Sinn 757 UTC chronographs which have become best sellers for the company. After the release of these models, Mr. Lothar Schmidt, CEO of Sinn began to receive requests for a 757 watch with the Sinn DIAPAL movement -he listened, and Sinn has produced.Announcing the all new Sinn 757 UTC DIAPAL.What is a DIAPAL?Beginning in 1995, Sinn began work to create an oil free escapement. With any mechanical watch movement, the aging of oil, especially in the escapement can create long term problems for that movement. Additionally, as movement oil ages, required service intervals become more frequent.Sinn's early analysis to this problem provided a quick solution (at least in theory) - if you don’t use oil, it canR

The American icon Timex Group throws in the towel at the high end of the market.
The American icon Timex Group throws in the towel at the high end of the market.In 2006 Timex bought into the Swiss manufacture Vincent B¨¦rard and started the journey back into the higher end of the market.Timex asked the efficient Herbert Gautschi to continue as CEO of Vincent B¨¦rard in order to allow Mr. B¨¦rard to concentrate on the technical side of the business.Many commentators had voiced their doubts about a lower end manufacturer like Timex Group being able to get a high-end niche brand like Vincent B¨¦rard to work successfully alongside the mass markets peculiar industrial requirements. Back then, I was convinced that this is possible. After all companies like Swatch and Titan Industries prove it on a daily basis.Today, I had to learn that the two companies will go separate ways again and that Timex Group pulls back its financial backing.Who is to blame? Most likely both sides equally. Vincent B¨¦rard engineered one of the nicest movements which probably is too complicated to ma

Finally Incoming after 4 1/2 Months
I am so excited as I just got the call from my AD that my brand new BLNR has finally arrived! I had put a 20% deposit back in November 2017, so it was a long wait. I was also a little worried with what was introduced at Basel last month and from all the rumors on this site and others, that this piece was discontinued, not available, sold to somene else, etc. Anyhow, worries are now over. Now it's just planning to make the short trip to Ottawa to get my prize. Decided to spend my money there instead of Montreal, as the main AD in Montreal just rubs me the wrong way. I am planning to pick it up in the next couple of weeks so I will post pictures then. Cheers!
