I think you guys are gonna appreciate this watch as long, as soon as I get this camera...
Uh, I'm a huge fan of, you know, vintage watches and, um, always loved, especially, like, the, the triple register, uh, Heuer Carreras, the 2447s, the Monacos, the, uh, the Camaros.
And, [lips smack] uh, there was a company back in the early 60s that were starting out, um, and, uh, Sinn, by the name of Sinn, the company.
And when Sinn started off as a company, they were really into motor- motorsports.
But they had boutiques everywhere, and they would create instruments for, for pilots.
And, uh, eventually they wanted to, to expand into the watchmaking world, into the watch world.
And they had a collaboration with, with, um, not a collaboration, but they worked with, um, with Jack Heuer in the, um, in the early 60s.
And so when Formula 1 would come to Germany or different parts in Europe, sometimes you would have little boutiques, and Jack Heuer wanted to start selling his watches in those boutiques.
And eventually, uh, Helmut Sinn, uh, wanted to get into watches, and he asked, um, [lips smack] several other companies, but he asked Jack Heuer if he would allow him to use some of his watches, uh, and write his name on the dial.
And after back-and-forth conversations, uh, Jack Heuer, uh, allowed him to get some models off of his catalog and, uh, put the name Sinn on the dial.
Uh, this is practically a Heuer 2447 SN, uh, probably one of the most legendary Carrera watches, but with a Sinn dial, and this is what you see right here.
