Title: Sinn Factory ..
Post by: terrenceterrence on November 19, 2009, 07:31:23 PM
I must say it's one of the must see if you happen to drop by Frankfurt.

The Office + Factory + Store + Service Centre, sits in a very discreet 3 storey building in the middle of a typical German suburb. With just a plaque outside the main door, it's easy to miss it if you're not taking a taxi there. Anyway, it's a blessing that my hotel is just a few stone throw away from Sinn. All in, the taxi fare was only 10 euro.

All of Sinn's current production models laid out for you to caress, molest and salivate over.

It's all laid out there and you can touch all you want. Feels like a buffet line. ;D

i was pacing the room with the 2 beauties ...when my missus whispered into my ear that there's a striking black beauty on the table if you look closer.

She was right... when i place the PVD beauty on my left wrist, the contrast of the dark PVD and the white markers was so intense that if had my right hand reaching for my wallet instantly.

I have been pulled to the DARK SIDE!!!!!!!!!

my work requires me to travel and always i get a few days off in the destination so it's vacation time!!!

the MRSP is 1535 euro with 19% GST rebate by Sinn.

just need to get the invoice stamped at the customs and send it back to Sinn together with your bank account details. They will wire the money back to you.

if you get cash back from the Global Refund, you will only get 11%.

comes in 2 or 3 mounting case. it's a real beauty...milled out or a whole block of aluminum

also comes with a wooden housing if you choose it as a desk clock.

really really cool i must add.

it's easily detachable by just pushing a button.

look closer at one of the photos and you can see the wooden housing.


anyone's car dashboard or desk looking a bit bare?

it's midmorning on a weekday and also it's located in the middle of a housing suburb. that's why you don't find many ppl walking around.

also being winter, unless you've got something to do outside... most ppl would rather stay indoors. :Laughing_on_floor:

Unfortunately this year no guided tours of the production floors. May resume next year.
Please forgive me but I have no Sinn. There were just too many models to narrow down. Ever tried picking up the winning beauty queen from a pageant? The only token I have are 2 copies of the 50 years catalog. Heavy hard cover. 1 will be passed on at the 3rd Dec GTG if I can make it.  :Cheers:

Please forgive me for I have NO SINN. No Siodee, I did not pick up a Sinn. Yet. So may models, too many choices. Thot it wise to ogle first, check out the catalog and specs, then take the plunge, knowing I will be back again this month! Damasko? Hmmm, still on hold. Just picked up the Davosa this trip.  :Dancing_banana:

Siodee, this is the reason. And the price. Besides, I visited the shop before the factory.
