  • The History:

Founded in 1961 by flight instructor and former WWII pilot Helmut Sinn, the Sinn Watch Company began developing both pilot chronographs and navigation cockpit clocks.  Helmet Sinn’s mission was to produce timepieces that were durable in extreme conditions.  In 1994, the company came under the direction of Lothar Schmidt, who has been the driving force behind the engineering and technological advances Sinn has implemented in its watch-making techniques, which continue to this day.

  • The Watch:

The Sinn Blindenuhr features a 36mm stainless steel case with a hinged crystal that opens from the 6 o’clock position to allow the wearer to feel the tactile dial and hands. The dial features raised dots at each hour marker, along with sturdy hour and minute hands that were designed to withstand repeated touch by the wearer.  The Blindenuhr is powered by a manual-wind ETA 2801-2 17-jewel movement.

  • The Details:

This Sinn Blindenuhr Braille watch includes an aftermarket black leather strap.
