The first Bell and Ross watches were mostly joint projects with Sinn. Some of the parts look identical to Sinn parts. The Bell and Ross Hydromax used a Sinn patent for oil-filled watches. I don't know exactly what the patent was for, but it enabled the Hydromax to have a bottom-of-the-Mariana-trench depth rating without having a big case. For an extreme depth diving watch, it's tiny.
IIRC Sinn used to have no dealers or marketing. Just direct sales and word of mouth.

Talk to me about Sinn watches.
I’ve had some good news and I thought it could be nice to mark the occasion by getting a watch. And for some reason I have kind of fallen for Sinn watches. In particular I like the rather plain ones like 556, 856 and 756.
What I am missing is the ability to see them from a watch connoisseur’s perspective. Not sure what I would want to know, but I guess it is important to me that if I were to spend that kind of money I would be getting a nicely rounded engineering project. Something where all features are properly thought out and their priorities are evenly weighted.
