A split-seconds chronograph is a rather rare complication. Sinn offers the 910 Anniversary model at a reasonable price. We tested this retro stopwatch with contemporary features.

Stop and Go

While Sinn offers various classic models, especially in its Frankfurt Financial District Watches collection, the Frankfurt-based brand is mainly known for its sporty watches and functional timepieces. Among these is also a remarkably elegant chronograph. The 910 Anniversary Split-Seconds Chronograph, our test watch, and is well worth mentioning and deserves a strong recommendation for aficionados and collectors. This model, available in a limited edition of 300 pieces, is a rather rare item in the world of watches: a column-wheel chronograph with a split-seconds function at an affordable price of $6,330.

Carrying Along and Catching Up Require Stable Movement Constructions

You can hardly find anything comparable except for the noteworthy Double Felix from the small but fine Habring2 manufacture in Völkermarkt, Austria. This model is equipped with a hand-wound manufacture caliber and is priced at €7,750. And at the upper end of the scale is the A. Lange & Söhne Triple Split for $147,000, which has a triple rattrapante and flyback function in combination with numerous other technical refinements.
