At home all over the world – but especially in the mountains

Emergency doctor Martin Leitl with the EZM 12 in the Alpine air rescue service

Bernese Oberland, Switzerland. The rescue helicopter is still on the ground. Emergency doctor Martin Leitl is waiting for his first assignment on this autumn day in the magnificent Alpine landscape. When the emergency signal sounds, he takes off with his pilot and a paramedic. Their mission is always the same: to save injured hikers, mountain climbers, skiers or paragliders from precarious situations. Martin Leitl has been part of these rescue operations since 2013. But they are just one focal point in his hitherto multifaceted life.

6200 Meisterbund I

Three German companies – one extraordinary watch

Three renowned German watchmaking companies – Sinn Spezialuhren zu Frankfurt am Main, Sächsische Uhrentechnologie Glashütte (SUG) and Uhren-Werke-Dresden (UWD) – have come together for an exciting project. The result of this Meisterbund, or cooperation of master craftsmen, is the auspiciously and aptly named ‘Meisterbund I’.

Meisterbund I is the first mechanical timepiece in which essential parts of the watch – including the case, dial, movement and spring – are produced in Germany.

The New Official German Standard for Pilot Watches

For the first time in decades, a new German industry standard for watches was published in March 2016: the DIN 8330 for pilot watches. This standard is based on the technical standard for pilot watches (TESTAF – Technischer Standard Fliegeruhren). The new DIN 8330 for pilot watches means that the tests developed for TESTAF are standardised, precise, systematic and up to date.

Two worlds on one wrist

The Apple Watch is currently one of the best smartwatches on the market. It comes as no surprise therefore that the watch has also sparked the interest of the more classic watch wearer. Such wearers primarily swear by high-quality mechanical watches, yet are also highly interested in the variety of useful features offered by a smartwatch. Especially for these watch lovers, we have bridged both worlds by designing the Dual Strap System. All in all, the Dual Strap System is the perfect solution for both the SINN watch and the Apple Watch, allowing wearers to use both at the same time.
