Η ιστορία της Sinn




H Sinn είναι μια hi-end εταιρεία ωρολογοποιίας  που εδρεύει στη Φραγκφούρτη, στη Γερμανία, που ιδρύθηκε από τον πιλότο και εκπαιδευτή Helmut Sinn το 1961.
 
 Ιστορία
 
Μετά την ίδρυσή της, η εταιρεία κατασκεύασε ρολόγια και ρολόγια για τους πιλότους με βάση την εκτεταμένη εμπειρία στην αεροπορία του κ. Sinn, που κατά κύριο λόγο με βάση την δυσαρέσκεια με τα ρολόγια πτήσης που ήταν διαθέσιμα για πιλοτικά έργα και σκοπούς πλοήγησης εκείνη την εποχή. Δικά της σχέδια του Σιν ενσωματώνονται τα χαρακτηριστικά και τη λειτουργικότητα που ένιωθε πιο κατάλληλο για το σκοπό αυτό ως ένα ρολόι όργανο. Αυτή η φιλοσοφία του σχεδιασμού καθιερώνει τον πολιτισμό της εταιρείας μέχρι την παρούσα ημέρα.
 
Μόνο που πωλούν τα ρολόγια με άμεσο μάρκετινγκ, αποφεύγοντας έτσι επιπλέον κόστος των ενδιάμεσων συναλλαγών, η Sinn ήταν σε θέση να πωλήσει τα ρολόγια της, με πολύ καλή σχέση τιμής / απόδοσης. Τα ρολόγια έχουν κατασκευαστεί ως OEM προϊόντα στην Ελβετία, σύμφωνα με τις προδιαγραφές του Sinn και είναι πολύ δημοφιλής μεταξύ των πιλότων, λόγω της εξαιρετικής ποιότητας και του σχεδιασμού τους.
 
Το 1994, ο Helmut Sinn πούλησε την εταιρεία στον Lothar Schmidt, ο οποίος κατασκεύαζε ρολόγια στην ομάδα Porsche-Design στη δεκαετία του 1970 και αργότερα ως authorized officer στην IWC. Μεταξύ άλλων, έχει σχεδιάσει ο Schmidt  ρολογιών cases κατασκευασμένες από τιτάνιο για την IWC και μετά το 1990 ήταν υπεύθυνος για την ανοικοδόμηση της IWC μάρκα A. Lange & Söhne.
 
Ο Schmidt άλλαξε το όνομα της εταιρείας σε Sinn - Spezialuhren zu Frankfurt - (ειδικά ρολόγια από τη Φρανκφούρτη) και δημιούργησε μια νέα σειρά από μοντέλα ρολογιών.
 
Σήμερα, 10.000 ρολόγια που πωλούνται ανά έτος και το άμεσο μάρκετινγκ έχει επεκταθεί με τη δημιουργία αποθηκών όπου τα ρολόγια πωλούνται εκτός της Φρανκφούρτης.
 
Μερικά χρόνια μετά πούλησε την εταιρεία του, ο Helmut Sinn επέστρεψε στην επιχείρηση ρολόι, με την κατασκευή και την πώληση ρολόγια των μαρκών Guinand, Jubilar und Chronosport στη Φραγκφούρτη της Γερμανίας. Από το 1993 έως το 2002,  Sinn παράγει επίσης ρολόγια για την Bell & Ross.
 
 Τεχνολογία
 
Από την αρχή, η έμφαση της Sinn ήταν σχετικά με τη δημιουργία ειδικού σκοπού και ρόλου ρολόγια που πραγματοποιείται κάτω από εξαιρετικά δυσμενείς συνθήκες λειτουργίας, όπως υψηλή ταχύτητα, υψηλές και χαμηλές πιέσεις και υψόμετρα, έντονη θερμότητα ή πίεση, ακραίο ψύχος, υψηλή μαγνητική παρέμβαση, και η βύθιση σε υγρά. Ως εκ τούτου, η μάρκα είναι αφιερωμένη στην μηχανική που προσπαθεί να βρει τεχνικές λύσεις για τις ειδικές περιοχές εφαρμογής των ρολογιών, καθώς και την επίλυση των τυπικών προβλημάτων στα (μηχανικά) ρολόγια με έμφαση στην εύκολη ανάγνωση στα ρολόγια κάτω από όλες τις συνθήκες.
 
Ειδικές τεχνικές, η Sinn έχει αναπτύξει για τα ρολόγια της:

 Scratch ανθεκτικό ανοξείδωτο ατσάλι για τις cases και τα μπρασελέ στο ρολόι με το λεγόμενο "tegiment technology": με μια ειδική διαδικασία σκλήρυνσης, το ανώτερο στρώμα του χάλυβα γίνεται τόσο σκληρό όσο τα κεραμικά (σήμερα όσο και 1.500 Vickers).
 Διαφυγή (escapement) χωρίς χρήση λιπαντικού: ο σωστός συνδυασμός των υλικών μειώνει την τριβή, όπως αν τα τμήματα της διαφυγής θα πρέπει να λιπαίνονται, συνεπώς, επεκτείνονται τα διαστήματα συντήρησης του ρολογιού.

 Τεχνολογία για να αποφευχθεί η διείσδυση της υγρασίας μέσα στην κάσα του ρολογιού: η κάσα είναι γεμισμένη με Αργό για να αποφευχθεί η υγρασία που διαχέεται διαμέσου του υλικού στην κάσα. Επιπροσθέτως, η κάσα είναι εξοπλισμένη με μια γυάλινη κάψουλα που γεμίζεται με θειικό χαλκό που καταλαμβάνει υγρασία που εισέρχεται στην κάσα ούτως ή άλλως -αρχικά λευκό χρώμα, οι αλλαγές του θειικού χαλκού γίνονται μπλε όταν χρησιμοποιούνται επάνω. Αυτή η τεχνολογία αποτρέπει επίσης το γυαλί του ρολογιού από το να θολώσει αν η θερμοκρασία περιβάλλοντος είναι ραγδαία μεταβαλλόμενη, για παράδειγμα, όταν το ρολόι τεθεί σε κρύο νερό.

 Σχεδόν απόλυτα αδιάβροχο και εξαιρετικά ανθεκτικό σε περιπτώσεις νερού υπό πίεση στην κάσα: η κάσα γεμίζεται με λάδι τεφλόν που σχεδόν δεν μπορεί να συμπιεστεί. Συνεπώς, το ρολόι είναι πολύ αδιάβροχο και μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί σε βάθη αρκετών χιλιάδων μέτρων. Η case του μοντέλου Sinn UX / EZM 2b έχει πιστοποιηθεί για 12.000 μέτρα, ωστόσο, η thermo-compensated ETA 955,652 quartz ελεγχόμενη κίνηση μπορεί να αντέξει μόνο περίπου 5.000 μέτρα χωρίς να χάσει τη λειτουργικότητα. Η τεχνολογία αυτή λειτουργεί μόνο με κινήσεις quartz ως μια μηχανική κίνηση δεν λειτουργεί σωστά στο παχύρρευστο λάδι. Ένα άλλο πλεονέκτημα αυτής της τεχνολογίας είναι ότι ο χρόνος μπορεί να διαβαστεί πολύ εύκολα κάτω από το νερό.

 Χρήση του χάλυβα U-boat για τις cases: το υλικό είναι πολύ καλό για την σκλήρυνση και πολύ ανθεκτικό σε θαλασσινό νερό, όπως το ίδιο υλικό που χρησιμοποιείται πραγματικά για να χτίσει τα Γερμανικά υποβρύχια.

 Χρήση ειδικού ελαίου: χρησιμοποιώντας ένα ειδικά σχεδιασμένο λιπαντικό έλαιο, τα ρολόγια έχουν ένα φάσμα θερμοκρασίας χρήσης από -45 ° C έως 80 ° C.

Ωραια ολα αυτα και μπραβο σου ,αλλα η πραγματικη ιστορια εχει και κατι περισσοτερο απο "δελτιο τυπου"...

Η εταιρια οπως πολλες αλλες μικρες εγινε γνωστη με την lemania 5100,μετα απο αυτη την εποχη αλλαξε κατευθυνση ,ειδικα μετα την πωληση στον Schmidt εγινε και πιο "γκλαμουρατη",με σημαντικο κομματι να κοιταει προς Ασια μερια,μπορεις να βρεις και L.E.Εν τελει απο τη ¨νεα" Sinn,τι κραταμε?

WORLDTEMPUS - October 4, 2010

Panerai has come a long way: from the preferred timepiece of Italian military divers during World War II to a luxury watch brand with several in-house mechanisms ticking inside the oversized cases. The latest in this line is the P’3000, a Panerai manufacture caliber.

Last week, Panerai’s CEO Angelo Bonati welcomed loyal friends of the successful brand to the city of its birth: Florence. After talking about astronomy and the impressive Jupiterium, Bonati offered his guests a rare look at the Panerai collection starting with the very first prototype from 1936 and ending with the latest offerings—one of which was the remake of the 1942 Mare Nostrum introduced at the 2010 S.I.H.H. in Geneva.

During Panerai’s early years, the brand used only Rolex/Cortebert and Angelus movements in the first watches issuing from the Florentine family. Unitas mechanisms were introduced in many a historically inspired model when Panerai resurfaced in 1993. The Unitas mechanisms have been the solid tractors giving many a Paneristi great timekeeping pleasure throughout the years.

It would now seem that the use of the Unitas 6497 manually wound caliber could well soon be a thing of the past, as Bonati introduced brand new Caliber P’3000 during the Time & Space exhibition in Florence.

P’3000

The P’3000 movement family begins with the 16 ½ line time-only base caliber that is 5.3 mm high. P’3000-1 contains small seconds; P’3000-2 has small seconds and a date; P’3000-3 adds a GMT function to the seconds and date. Ticking at 21,600 vph and containing 21 jewels, the P’3000 offers a three-day power reserve with twin serially operating spring barrels: The ticking sound originates in a wonderfully old-fashioned and rather large balance wheel that measures a whopping 13.2 mm.


The P’3000 is a simple movement, indeed—simple as in solid and undoubtedly easily able to pass C.O.S.C., though this will not be a future option for the Panerai movements. “We will no longer put any of our movements through C.O.S.C.,” Bonati confirmed during the presentation, instead opting for thorough in-house quality checks and ”homemade” criteria suitable to modern watchmaking.
Competing calibers


With the introduction of Caliber P’3000, Panerai now boasts seven in-house movements. Early in 2010, Panerai had already introduced the manually wound P’999 in a 42 mm Radiomir. However, this mechanism was designed for the Asian market and meets demands of smaller watches—practically making the 42 mm Radiomir a ladies model.

“Caliber P’999 does not fit into the larger Luminor cases,” Bonati said in answer to the question concerning the P’3000 competing with the P’999.

Not cheap

The bridges are brushed and beveled, providing a wonderful view through a transparent case back—though it is not yet known what the actual watches will look like. The new models sporting the P’3000 movements will be shown at the 2011 S.I.H.H. in January, and will be offered through Panerai dealers just after the show at prices starting from € 5,000 to about 7,000. Not an inexpensive manually wound watch, even in terms of Panerai, but undoubtedly a smart step toward total autonomy, particularly once the Swatch Group tightens its distribution of external ébauche sales.

Rome, September 26, 2010 - Automobili Lamborghini and Blancpain are uniting their phenomenal engineering skill and honoring the huge success of the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo racing series with a very special super sports car: the new Gallardo LP 570-4 Blancpain Edition.






Both brands share an enormous passion for racing. Blancpain is not only intensely involved with the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo, but is also official timekeeper for the FIA GT1 World Championship – where Lamborghini cars also compete against other prestigious marques. In July, Lamborghini secured its first win in the newly-formed championship at the iconic Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium, where former Formula One driver Riccardo Zonta and Frank Kechele charged to a first-place finish.

“Lamborghini is extremely happy about its cooperation with Blancpain. In just its second year, the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo has established itself in the premier league of gentlemen’s racing,” says Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Automobili Lamborghini. “Each race is a battle of dedication and passion for every single hundredth of a second – something that characterizes both of our brands. The Gallardo LP 570-4 Blancpain Edition demonstrates the close bond between our road-going super sports cars and the



“This is a very intense and dynamic partnership between companies from highly disparate sectors, but with the same drive for innovation and mechanical excellence,” says Marc A. Hayek, President and CEO of Blancpain. “For me, Blancpain has always been a true revolutionary - even a little crazy - with the spirit of adventure. We have always tried to be a little different, to remain innovative and to attempt things that no-one had ever achieved before. This pursuit of excellence is a passion that is shared by Blancpain and Lamborghini,” continues Hayek. “Lamborghini is indisputably a first-class manufacturer with the highest levels of engineering competence, which is why the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo offers a perfect platform for attracting even more attention to our brand around the world.”

Marc A. Hayek is not only President and CEO of Blancpain, he is also a passionate and accomplished race driver. He has already claimed several victories in the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo, and is currently fighting for the podium in the Pro-Am Drivers’ Standings.

In this special configuration, the Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Blancpain Edition shows the spirit of competition - the mighty rear spoiler for maximum stability and the engine cover for optimized ventilation were derived directly from the race car featured in the world’s fastest one-make series. The Edition is also equipped with Skorpius wheels with yellow-painted brake calipers and discs made, of course, from carbon-ceramic composite. One striking visual feature that fits perfectly with the matt black paintwork is the carbon-fiber used to make external components, such as the diffuser and mirror casings.

The interior of the Blancpain Edition further reinforces the extremely sporty character of the Gallardo without sacrificing the comfort of the driver and passenger. The entire interior is finished in black Alcantara with yellow accents and visible carbon-fiber. The Blancpain logo is placed on the exterior and also featured on the seats and cockpit in yellow stitching. Propulsion for the Gallardo LP 570-4 Blancpain Edition comes courtesy of the 570 hp V10 power unit from the series Superleggera production car – as is the case for the Super Trofeo race car. Superb traction from the all-wheel drive ensures perfect stability in every situation.

The super sports car from Sant’Agata Bolognese boasts a dry weight of no more than 1340 kilograms (2954 lb) – the lightest road-going model in Lamborghini’s range.

One key factor is the exterior and interior components made from carbon-fiber. Carbon-fiber is ideal for the manufacture of sports cars as its use allows for weight reduction and improved mechanical features. The car’s performance is thus enhanced thanks to a better power-to-weight ratio and reduced total mass, which means that CO2 emissions are also lower.

The V10 power unit with 5.2 liters (317.6 cu in) of displacement generates 419 kW (570 hp) in the Gallardo Blancpain Edition. This puts the power-to-weight ratio of the vehicle at only 2.35 kilograms (5.18 lb) per hp and guarantees breathtaking performance. This super sports car handles the dash from zero to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 3.4 seconds and flies past the 200 km/h (124 mph) mark only 6.8 seconds later, ultimately exceeding 320 km/h (199 mph).

Breitling combines its two long-established passions - chronographs and aeronautics - by offering the legendary Navitimer model in a limited series equipped with its proprietary Caliber 01. Issued in 2,000-piece steel and 200-piece red gold editions, the "Navitimer Caliber 01" is distinguished by its slightly broader diameter and its transparent caseback providing clear views of its high-performance "motor". An eagerly anticipated model among devotees of the brand with the winged B, and a genuine collector's item for all connoisseurs of fine mechanical chronographs and aviation.

In 2009, Breitling laid a major milestone in its history by joining the exclusive circle of the rare watch companies to have their own mechanical chronograph movement. This was a logical culminating point for a brand that is one of the leaders in this complication and has played a crucial role in its technical development through several key inventions: the first independent pushpiece (1915); separation of the stop/start and reset functions (1923); creation of the second independent pushpiece for zero-resetting (1934); and the launch of the very first selfwinding chronograph (1969). Caliber 01, the first movement entirely developed and produced in the Breitling workshops, was first used to power an exclusive new version of the leading Chronomat model, duly named Chronomat 01. Breitling now introduces it within another watchmaking icon, the famous Navitimer which proudly embodies the brand’s aeronautical vocation.

Featuring an original architecture, the selfwinding Caliber 01 chronograph movement is the crowning achievement of the longstanding quest for precision and reliability that has consistently governed Breitling “Instruments for professionals”. Equipped with a column wheel, a vertical coupling clutch and an over 70-hour power reserve, it was designed to ensure maximum functionality and secure use. It features several innovative characteristics aimed at facilitating its production and its operation, including a patented self-centering device for the resetting hammers and an exclusive index-assembly system enabling swift personalized adjustment of the watch according to the wearer. This exceptional caliber is also distinguished by its pioneering production and assembly mode. Inspired by an avant-garde concept used in other cutting-edge sectors, Breitling has developed an industrial chain-production formula that revolutionizes traditional movement assembly.

Each caliber is individually monitored by an ultra-sophisticated computer program that automatically directs it towards the appropriate workstation, along a route alternating fully automated workstations with others requiring manual intervention. All the adjustment phases are integrated within this process, in such a way that upon emerging from the chain, each Caliber 01 is ready to face up to the stringent tests conducted by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) – a guarantee of authentic large-scale production reliability.



By immediately choosing to specialize in chronographs and timers, Léon Breitling, who founded the company in 1884, soon gained favor among aviation pioneers who needed sturdy, high-performance instruments. During the 1930s, the brand launched its first onboard chronographs, which were to equip World War II fighter planes, before accompanying the boom in air transport in the cockpits of the finest propeller planes, and later jets. In 1952, the "official supplier to world aviation” created a “wrist instrument” specially designed for pilots and other aeronautical professionals. Equipped with a circular slide rule, the Navitimer chronograph serves to handle all calculations linked to airborne navigation: average speed, distance covered, fuel consumption, rate of climb or descent, conversions from miles to kilometers or nautical miles, etc. Chosen as the official watch by the AOPA Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association), the world’s largest association of its kind, the Navitimer has asserted itself as the most iconic Breitling model – and a cult object for all aviation enthusiasts. In its “Cosmonaute” version with a 24-hour graduation, it accompanied Scott Carpenter on his orbital flight aboard the Aurora 7 capsule (1962), thus becoming the first spacegoing wrist chronograph. Continuously made since 1952, the Navitimer is the world’s oldest mechanical chronograph still in production. By now adopting an “in-house” caliber, it is writing a new chapter in a rich history of major achievements and thrilling moments.


 
[bTechnical Specifications:

The case, in 18kt rose gold or in stainless steel, measures 43mm. It has an AR-coated sapphire crystal, a sapphire display back, and is water resistant to 30 meters.

Movement is the Swiss automatic Breitling in-house caliber 01 with 47 jewels, 28,800 vph and a power reserve of 72 hours. It is a column-wheel chronograph which is COSC-certified as a chronometer. ][/b]
