What's the purpose of using argon gas in the watch? Just curious.

Argon is an inert gas and is commonly used as a purge (or blanketing) gas to remove air from an enclosed space to minimize effects of moisture or oxygen.



In the case of watches, traces of moisture overtime will cause corrosion. So with the removal of air the corrosion effects is minimized.



Other common purge gasses would be nitrogen (not so safe) or helium (more expensive than argon).

should be rotating use of these 3 today.

center pc will get the most wrist time i think.

Ah ok! Halfway reading this I thought of nitrogen cos that's what some people use for preserving an unfinished bottle of wine.



But wouldn't the regular winding and time setting allow the argon to escape?

Nitrogen is used in wine not solely for the purpose of purging, i think (correct me if i am wrong) nitrogen is also plays an important role in the wine making process (from the soil to the harvesting, etc). So i assume by using nitrogen it also preserves the 'taste' of the wine better.



As for the Argon escaping... i also wondered about that. I'm not a Sinn expert, so I'll let the other bros answer this. :lol: :lol:

or you can ask Sinn ;)

i can only say it's well built for S$300+, because of the design, it's wrist hugging.



it will be perfect if it's in auto,hehe..

I'm pretty certain nitrogen is not used in the vineyard, as in the soil or harvesting.. Especially harvesting. Only hands and baskets (if traditional) or tractors are used. The only process I can think of when nitrogen is introduced in wine making is in the fermenting tanks. The only thing I can think of that is added in the wine making process is usually yeast and sulfites (preservative 220).



As a wine preserver, some wine shops sell nitrogen in cans. It's pumped into the empty space in a wine bottle to preserve wine by preventing oxidization.

You are right about nitrogen preventing oxidation, which is critical to the wine taste and preservation.

i only assume the principle of preventing oxidation in wine could be translated and used in the bottling, topping, storage, transporting and ofcourse in the fermentation tanks.



Nitrogen content is naturally found everywhere (soil, leaves, chlorophyll, enzymes), and maybe it is not used explicitly but it has a significant role in how the grapes grow, taste and look (colour)



But this is SUPER OT TTM now :lol: :lol:

Oh yeah. Nitrogen in fertilizer too right?

How the grapes grow and tastes dependent on the terroir.

hi chris..nice photos as usual but seems that you do place your watch on top of your handphone ...



this is something most wouldnt do...magnetic field given out by such devices may affect the watch.
