Hands and 1000m
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 enlighten the forum as to how the coating is deposited (and also, if it is a coating, why Sinn instists on using the Vickers Hardness scale?)
And to close off my curmudgeonly post, I always have a giggle at 1000m+ watches.
Particularly ones that are destined to be desk divers. Yes, the engineering to achieve the rating is interesting, but the higher the rating the more it highlights the ludicrousness of the situation. It's not like having a 1000bhp car, you can use that (! rarely !), this is a feature that seems to exist only for "bragging rights". Any thoughts?
Exclusive photos of the highly anticipated Sinn U1 All Black for TEMPUS 2007!
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...
Thanks JX for the photos...pretty good though! More real with finger prints :-)..
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
But but...
I wanna see Harry in camos wielding a large serrated dagger with soot streaks under his eyes...
Wonderful!
Congratulations Harry! And thanks to SJX for bringing us the initial shots! This is just cool! LG
Finally! Some pics of the Black U1
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...
The buckle
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...
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
Statement from The Hour Glass, "though we are clearly delighted by the interest this The Hour Glass Edition has received, the 250 pieces produced are already spoken for and that we have no more left to sell." - SJX This message has been edited by SJX on 2...
Thanks, JiaXian, for the photos...
and congrats to Harry for the beautiful watch. I look forward to admiring it! Cheers, CS
Great shots JX! Just picked up mine too....
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 :-)

1000m watch....
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
