More German folklore, borrowed from a post by Jon on various forums. The images are from Konrad Knirim's books on German time pieces. You can see the lineage of the 757 from early Junghans clocks used on Me 109's, and Sinn clocks used in the Starfighter and Tornado. It's clear where the design of the 757 dial and hands came from.

Eventually, the Sinn mechanical clocks were replaced with electronics in the Eurofighter Typhoon.

Did someone mention hands?

Well, now you have the keys to the design of the 757.

757S by Sinn, Nosferatu built and painted by me.

Cool Sinn, and fresh New Watch delivery.
Nosferatu always creeps me out - even a model of the guy.

Anyway...Really like the bezel notches and thickness on this one.
Perhaps this is where Invicta got their Corduba bezel design - very similar.

This watch is scary GOOD Aikiman44 ! A Dark German Entered the House Affraid .. A Dark German Entered the House Icon_biggrin
What a super cool, and funny post this is !!! A Dark German Entered the House 46145
You definitely have a special kind of watch here.
Have honestly never seen a Sinn that didn't look
good, and this one is no exception. The aggressive
stealth theme doesn't get better than this imho.
You can genuinely enjoy all of the details, in the
case, and on the bezel. The side view is excellent
because you can see the build quality, height of
the watch, and neat notches in the bezel also !
The white hands, markers, and numbers are just
THE best, and it's just a flawless theme. Also
like the bezel VERY much too, and it seems like
an almost brown, or bronze effect happening ! A Dark German Entered the House 803574
Super Sinn, pictures, and post !..Thanks !!!!
Congratulations, and I know you are going to
ENJOY this one !

A couple of miles from our home, there's a Starfighter (we live where the Starfighter, among others were born)
