Excellent, just the sort of answer I was looking for.
Their prices - I guess it depends on how much that same off the shelf movement would cost in a watch from a lesser brand? I've got a Seiko that I liked the colour of. The plain steel and blue version of the same model cost about half when I bought mine. Meaning I paid a 100% premium for aesthetics only. I don't regret it, but of course, there comes a point where paying extra for having your movement in a nicer looking case just becomes silly.
For the sake of argument, would there be any reason to consider Sinn watches gimmicky in any way? I think the 756 range look like a lot of fun. But of course, there could be a very good reason why nobody else seems to be doing two instead of the usual three sub dials.
