Exclusive photos of the highly anticipated Sinn U1 All Black for TEMPUS 2007!

Aug 27, 2007,10:15 AM
 

As discussed before on this forum, Sinn will issue a limited edition of 250 Tegiment U1 watches for The Hour Glass, in conjunction with the TEMPUS - Temple of Time event to be held from Sep 5 - 9 here in Singapore.
 
I am pleased to present exclusive photos of the first Sinn U1 All Black. Many thanks to the lucky owner, Harry Tan, for allowing me to photograph the watch. Harry will soon post his own masterful photos of the watch; my quick and dirty shots are just a preview.
 
The All Black U1 looks far, far better than any of the pre-production mock-ups suggest. It is an utterly striking watch in the metal and far more attractive than the already handsome, regular U1. Sinn and The Hour Glass have a winner on their hands with this watch. I am looking forward to receiving my U1, hopefully soon!

Apologies for the fingerprints and dust on the watch, I was so caught in the moment that I forgot to clean it.

Congrats Harry on the new piece! Are the hands metal? The date window seems a bit too small for the date, or is it parallax ? Kong

Thanks Kong

Looks fantastic! I have been waiting impatiently for the pics of this Tempus Black U1 and it does not dissappoint. I do hope they will have some on display during Tempus. The black, white and orange colors really pop up and look superb on the dial and bez...

I am unsure if it is Tegiment also, but I suspect it is. Will post here once I know for sure. - SJX

I was thinking that everything is orange instead of just the hands

Now to find a nice strap that goes with it ;-)

Once you have tried the rubber it is hard to go back

Having said that a nice - thick - black - calf strap with orange stitching would be sooooo cool. I am sure someone has the strap already to go. sweet watch in any color.... Bill

A leather strap with orange stitching

I already have a strap ready for it, same strap as the one on the Glycine. :-) - SJX...  

Very nice strap SJX

A striking watch, congratulations Harry

As I may have said before - if only I could bring myself to like the hands ... Dirk

Thanks JSX for sharing.

Harry congratulations for the being first to own it. Look lovely from the pics and I too wished the numbers are in colours instead of white. Looking forward to having it on my wrist soon. Cheers Jim

NB: The edition is officially sold out

Great shots JX! Just picked up mine too....

 
 By: huaffy : August 28th, 2007-09:30
but couldn't bear to cut the rubber strap so I'm wearing it with an old aftermarket rubber strap with a SS buckle. Looks quite ok actually - colour combo kinda reminds me of the black-cased GG Arena Biretros (which mostly come with black rubber straps w/ ... 

thanks Harry & SJX :-)

Hands and 1000m

 
 By: BDLJ : August 28th, 2007-18:34
Handsome watch. Not sure about the hands on the U1. How do they look illuminated? Any night shots? Can we add "Tegimented" to the list of precious watch terms (a la the Silicium thread), as far as I understand it's just a super-hard coating. Can anyone en... 

1000m watch....

 
 By: decksurgeon : August 28th, 2007-18:50
put it this way, you would have stopped ticking was before the watch if you attempted a decent to 1000m without specialized appratus. LOL! i recon the ladies at the pool might like it tho...... ;-P

1000m
