Quick TakeThe Sinn 1746 Heimat is an ode to Frankfurt, capturing the spirit of the city in its intricate design. The "Gerippte" textured dial isn't just a visual treat; it's a tactile experience that invites you to feel the craftsmanship and heritage. The rhodium plating gleams with understated opulence, while beneath the surface beats a robust, reliable SW300-1 automatic movement. It’s not just a watch to keep time. The sapphire crystal front and back, along with the thoughtfully engineered case, showcase Sinn's commitment to resilience with the robust 10-bar water resistance. The svelte dimensions of the 42mm case and thin 9.4mm profile ensure it slips comfortably under a cuff. The grey Alcantara strap adds a touch of casual elegance. The subtle sophistication and detailed engineering merge beautifully. It's more than a pretty face; it's a precision instrument built for life's journey, reflecting the soul of its namesake city.

DescriptionThe Sinn 1746 Heimat, reference 1746.012, is a self-winding mechanical watch showcasing precision engineering and design elements inspired by Frankfurt's traditional cider glasses. The watch is built around a 42mm diameter case constructed from polished stainless steel, offering a balance between presence and wearability on the wrist. The case thickness measures 9.4mm, contributing to a slim profile. The overall weight of the watch head, without the strap, is 65 grams. Protecting the intricate dial is a sapphire crystal, treated with an anti-reflective coating on both the interior and exterior surfaces. This crystal choice maximizes clarity and minimizes glare, ensuring optimal legibility under various lighting conditions. The case back mirrors the front with a transparent sapphire crystal, also featuring an anti-reflective coating, this time applied to the interior surface. This transparent back permits a view of the intricate mechanical movement within. The designers incorporated the Sinn D3-System for the crown.

The timepiece's movement is the SW 300-1, a self-winding caliber. It features 25 bearing jewels that reduce friction and help wear, contributing to the movement’s longevity and accuracy. The balance wheel oscillates at a frequency of 28,800 semi-oscillations per hour (4 Hz), a standard frequency that facilitates accurate timekeeping. The SW 300-1 movement within this watch is also anti-magnetic, conforming to DIN 8309 standards. The case back is securely screw-fastened, enhancing structural integrity. Furthermore, the watch is engineered to meet the technical requirements for water resistance, complying with standard DIN 8310. The 1746 Heimat is water-resistant and pressure-resistant up to 10 bar (equivalent to a depth of approximately 100 meters) and maintains its functionality at low pressure, rendering it suitable for various environments. This is an impressive design achievement, especially given the overall size of the watch and the design of the textured dial.

The dial of the 1746 Heimat is a standout feature. Its design draws inspiration from the diamond pattern (Gerippte) found on traditional Frankfurt cider glasses. This is a raised pattern for a three-dimensional look. The relief dial is achieved with electroforming, in order to create details with high precision. A rhodium coating, a precious metal akin to platinum, provides the dial with its unique silver-white sheen. This meticulous finishing process contributes to the sophisticated aesthetic. Both the hands and the relief dial are finished with rhodium. A grey Alcantara strap with polished stainless steel pin buckle comes with the watch. The band lug width measures 22mm.
