The name Sinn Spezialuhren stands for highly functional mechanical watches. Our pilot watches, diving watches, chronographs and Mission Timer (Einsatzzeitmesser / EZM) are designed to impress not only pilots, divers, and the German federal police special force GSG 9 (Grenzschutzgruppe 9). SINN watches continuously prove their toughness, durability, high quality and precision in both everyday and extreme situations. These characteristics are due in no small part to the incorporation of our special technologies including DIAPAL, Ar‑Dehumidifying Technology, HYDRO and TEGIMENT. When Sinn Spezialuhren develops a new watch, its form is always dictated by the required function.

Oris was founded in 1904 in Hölstein, a village nestled in the Waldenburg Valley in the north-west of Switzerland. Today, the company is based on the same site where it was founded over a century ago, and is proud to be not only Swiss, but also made in Hölstein.

When in 1882 a small watch shop was opened in the Swiss town of Diessenhofen, one wasn’t yet to know that the name Hanhart would later stand for Europe’s largest producer and the market leader in the mechanical stopwatch sector, playing a leading role in the German clock industry.Apart from a brief period after the Second World War, Hanhart boasts an uninterrupted manufacturing tradition up to the present day. The company’s breakthrough came in 1924, when Willy Hanhart, the sports-loving son of the founder, launched the first affordable mechanical stopwatch. In 1938 then came its second great era: Hanhart became a pioneer in the production of pilot’s chronographs and with its Calibre 40 paved the way for the development of these nowadays extremely coveted collector’s items. From the 1950s onwards, Hanhart increasingly focussed on manufacturing mechanical stopwatches and consequently attained global reach through their use in sporting time measurement. Hanhart stopwatches became indispensable at important car races and sporting events, as well as for general school requirements.

More than ninety years of watchmaking tradition and honoured as “Manufacture of the Year 2018”: the eventful history of the German brand Tutima Glashütte began in 1927 in Glashütte, Saxony, the world-famous stronghold of the art of watchmaking, where the Fliegerchronograph first took off on its flight to fame in 1941. As the first wristwatch with a flyback function, its superior technology and workmanship made it a legend. Another historical milestone in German engineering followed in 1984 with the Tutima NATO Chronograph, which is still the official operational watch of Bundeswehr pilots today. After Germany’s reunification, the family business was able to return to its roots in Glashütte in 2008. Masterpieces such as the Hommage minute repeater and the Tempostopp flyback chronograph, both of which were developed entirely in-house, were created in the new manufactory at the brand’s founding location. A total of four model lines currently bear witness to Tutima’s claim to horological perfection: the professional M2, the iconic Grand Flieger, the striking Saxon One and the classic Patria. Together they comprise a dynamic generation of technical-sporty watches, developed strictly according to the code of the protected designation of origin “made in Glashütte”.

In Schramberg, Germany, time is at home – and since 1861, Junghans has been giving it a face. The watch manufacturer masters every major timekeeping technology, from reliable quartz movements and in-house radio-controlled solar movements to fine mechanical watchmaking. An open-minded approach to technology and a distinctive design expertise have always defined Junghans timepieces. These qualities are also reflected in the current collection, featuring the Meister, max bill, FORM and 1972 watch lines.

Junghans looks back on a history that is as eventful as it is successful. By 1903, with more than 3,000 employees and over 9,000 timepieces manufactured daily, the company had become the world's largest watchmaker. Its expertise in developing precision mechanical movements led Junghans to become the world's third-largest chronometer manufacturer in 1956. As the official timekeeper at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich and at numerous motorsport events, Junghans has also long been at home in the world of sports.

To this day, Junghans designs, develops, engineers and manufactures all its watches at its historic headquarters in Schramberg. Since 2022, Hannes Steim has led the company as Managing Partner, combining a strong spirit of innovation with a clear vision for the future.
