DEAR CUSTOMER,

We know from numerous

conversations that the people

who buy our watches do so out of

conviction. This includes people with

a pronounced afﬁnity to technology

who are fascinated, for example,

by the solutions we have devised

for protection from magnetic ﬁelds

and scratch resistance. Some of our

customers, such as divers, pilots and

the German GSG 9 special police

unit, rely on their watches in their

respective careers because their lives

depends on it.

They all swear by the performance,

resilience and durability, as well

as the quality and precision of our

watches. That is why Hamburg-based

Germanischer Lloyd regularly tests

and certiﬁes the water and pressure

resistance of our diving watches.

We have selected pilot's watches tested and certiﬁed to the Technical

Standard for Pilot's Watches (TESTAF) by Aachen University of Applied

Sciences. The TESTAF ensures that a pilot's watch meets all timekeeping

requirements during ﬂight operations in accordance with visual and

instrumental ﬂight regulations and is suitable for professional use. Functionality

is our top priority and ultimately determines the design. Only the technical

features that are really needed can be found on our watches. Because we

believe that products have to speak for themselves.

The basic question that we ask ourselves is: which innovative technologies

and materials can be employed for our craft and provide solutions for

rendering our watches even more practical for everyday use? It is often worth

indulging in a little lateral thinking to see what is going on in other industrial

sectors or ﬁelds of science. We repeatedly go to the limits of physical

resources to upgrade our watches – with the aim of making what's good

even better. Most of our best developments are yet to come!

I am delighted that you have decided to buy a SINN timepiece and hope

that it will continue to give you pleasure for many years to come.

Yours sincerely,

Lothar Schmidt

Sinn Spezialuhren is recognised by

pilots all over the world as one of the

leading names in the development

of precise and robust watches for

use in aviation. Not only pilots, but

also aviation enthusiasts, know that

reliability and absolute precision are

essential in our industry. We rely on

perfection, including in the watch

on our wrist.

Both watch technology and aviation

are constantly changing – watches

are becoming even more precise

and reliable and increasingly make

use of technologies and materials

from the realm of aviation and

space travel.

GREETING FROM KARL ULRICH GARNADT

CHAIRMAN AND CEO OF LUFTHANSA Cargo AG

With the introduction of the Boeing 777F, Lufthansa

Cargo is operating the most modern freighter in its class,

with a particularly large range, vast cargo capacity and

the highest level of environmental efﬁciency. As Cargo

Lufthanseaten (the members of the Lufthansa Cargo

team), we are proud to welcome the new ﬂagship in our

ﬂeet. With this very special watch, a collaborative effort

between Sinn Spezialuhren and Lufthansa Cargo, you

can wear a timepiece that resembles the Boeing 777F –

classic design on the outside, cutting-edge technology

on the inside, and all of this together with the utmost

efﬁciency and maximum precision.

Every time you look at your wrist, you will be reminded of

our aircraft, so a little bit of the pilot spirit that motivates

us every day at Lufthansa Cargo will be with you at all

times.

We hope you enjoy it.

Karl Ulrich Garnadt

Aviation, in all its forms, combines emotion and

technical excellence like almost no other mode of

transport. It's not just pilots who have always

demonstrated their connection to ﬂying by wearing

a special timepiece – the pilot's watch.

In the early days of aviation, the pilot's watch was

one of the primary navigation instruments

alongside the aviation map and a compass.

Charles Lindberg would rather have gone without a

radio than a second timepiece on his legendary

transatlantic ﬂight. To this day, most ﬂight

procedures in instrument ﬂying carry a

corresponding time stamp.

"Pilot's watch" is however not a protected term. It is

often used for purely design-oriented models, which

hardly do justice to the technical requirements for a

ﬂight instrument. It was therefore natural for the

Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at the

Aachen University of Applied Sciences, as one of

the leading educational and research facilities for

aviation, to take on the development of a test

standard based on the ofﬁcial certiﬁcation

procedure for general aviation. A considerable

FOREWORD AACHEN UNIVERSITY OF APPLIED SCIENCES

DEPARTMENT OF AEROSPACE TECHNOLOGY

number of pilots, airline companies and engineers were involved in creating

the requirements and the development of the extensive test procedures.

TESTAF, the technical standard for the pilot's watch, was ofﬁcially presented to

the public in the autumn of 2012, in the deliveries hangar of the Eurocopter

company in Donauwörth. The advisory board set up for this purpose, consisting

of recognised experts in aviation and the watch industry, will ensure the future

continuous updating and technical advancement of the contents and test

procedures.

The team at SINN, led by Lothar Schmidt, of course immediately took on this

challenge and met all requirements with ﬂying colours after an intensive

development phase. You hold the result in your hands today, the TESTAF-

certiﬁed pilot's watch – a very special timepiece.

Sincerely

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Frank Janser

SINN SPEZIALUHREN ZU FRANKFURT AM MAIN

It was back in 1961 that pilot and blind-ﬂying instructor Helmut Sinn founded

the company. Since then, we have been committed to producing high-

speciﬁcation mechanical watches. In 1994, the graduate engineer Lothar

Schmidt took over the company. This marked the beginning of a new era

for the SINN brand, because the new owner took a decisive step towards

more innovation. Under his leadership, new technologies and materials were

introduced, thus providing the crucial incentives for our company's evolution

and gradual emergence as an insider's tip for lovers of ﬁne watches. Today,

our name stands for technical innovations – much to the delight of both the

trade and our customers alike.
