Introducing Sinn Unveils the Limited Edition 1739 Römerberg

The German Brand Celebrates the 10th Anniversary of Its Frankfurt Boutique

German brand Sinn presents the 1739 Römerberg, a special edition created to mark the 10th anniversary of its Römerberg branch. Since 2015, the company has been represented at the prestigious Rathausplatz in Frankfurt’s historic old town through the SINN Römerberg Branch. 

Over the past decade, this location housed in the heritage-listed Haus zum Goldenen Rad, has become a popular destination for the brand's customers and a prominent showcase with a view of the Römer, Frankfurt’s iconic city hall.

The case has a diameter of 39 mm, a thickness of 9.1 mm, and a lug width of 20 mm. It is crafted from polished stainless steel, providing a sleek and durable structure.

Weighing just 52 grams without the strap, it is also low-pressure resistant, adding to its robustness.

Hand-applied indices, along with the hands and Sinn logo in a golden hue, add a luxurious touch to the vibrant dial.
