:( Sinn just discontinued the T2

Real shame, there's nothing quite like it on the market anywhere, 41mm tonneau case, titanium so it's really light, sad to see it go out the collection

The T1's still there though, but that one's 45mm so just not the same

they're also getting rid of the 75x series which are classics

still, hopefully they'll be releasing some super interesting stuff to replace those, they're due to bring out two new watches in mid-february

While I'm being a total Sinn geek, did you know that the Sinn 141 S was one of the first automatic watches worn in space?

It was on the wrist of Reinhard Furrer during Spacelab D1, a similar watches were also worn on Mir and during Spacelab D2

He bought the watch privately and wanted to show that an automatic watch would still wind itself without the help of gravity

Turns out Cmdr William Pogue wore a non-approved Seiko 6139 during Skylab 4 about 11 years before this and so that was the actual first automatic watch in space but nobody knew that at the time
