Decisions, Decisions…

Hello fellow Crunchers, here’s hoping everyone is having a great weekend!

Without getting deep into the technical details, which of these 2 German beauties speak most to you aesthetically? I’m leaning towards the Sinn (have the 104 blue) but Hanhardt has been calling my name for some time now (their latest flyblacks are sweet!); and I love the red mono pusher.

•Sinn UTC: $1,990.00

•Hanhardt MK1: $2,470.00

Appreciate everyone’s time and help! 🤙❤️

As always, buy what you want to wear.

For me I’d go with the Sinn, and I’d be surprised if that isn’t the majority opinion here. Not as much as Seiko, but Crunchers loooove Sinn. The other watch has a little too much going on for me, I think it’s the bezel. As for the Sinn, I’ve always thought that GMT hand looks like it’s photoshopped on. I’d like to see it in person, but that’s the way it always looks to me. Call it the lesser evil though.

I'm a huge fan of chronographs, but also a huge fan of Sinn. Between these two, from a purely aesthetic viewpoint, I'd go with the Sinn. To me, the red pusher on the Hanhardt looks like a rubber pusher protector that is meant to be removed before wearing the watch.

I would go with the Sinn. I like the quality of the brand and the watch looks great.

Based on the faces alone, I prefer the Hanhart. That being said, I find the red pusher off-putting and the over-sized crown too over-sized.

I am camp Sinn! The red mono pusher is the decider for me not to go hanhart

It will be interesting to see what you end up with! I'm a fan of the Sinn design but I've learned (the hard way!) to reserve judgment until it's in your hand. The red pusher on the Hanhart looks like a "In Case of Emergency" feature but certainly can't be accused of being derivative which is a plus.
