In 1971, Braun launched a series of travel alarm clocks and watches. The infamous German industrial designers, Dieter Rams and Dietrich Lubs were the masterminds behind the project; and, with their "Less, is more" design philosophy they produced a number of memorable products for Braun including some of the best travel alarm clocks around. Over the last 40 years, Braun time pieces were characterized by their pure, highly functional and timeless design with no superfluous details: Every feature directly reflects a function. Rooted in over half a century of modern design at Braun, the core values of functionality, quality and aesthetics are reflected in all clocks and watches. The strength of clarity and simplicity of their design makes them a pleasure to use and to own. The analogue clocks were manufactured with the intention to prioritize innovation and durability. The beautifully sleek structure and dial illumination, together with the slight graying back of the numbers ensures that the hour arms are clear and easily readable. All the clocks use precision German movements, known for their silent nature and high accuracy. A variety of models use radio controlled movements for complete accuracy of time. A selection of the very best classic clocks and watches have been recreated in keeping with the high standards of quality of the originals. At the same time, brand new designs on both watches and clocks take the collection further than ever before

Optisch gelungen, Qualität misslungen...
Braun gibt es ja nicht mehr wirklich. Seit dem Procter & Gamble das Sagen hat, bis auf weniges nur noch Lizenzware. So auch die Uhr. Die Website des Lizenznehmers zeigt, dass dieser nicht zwingend im Premiumsegment zu hause ist... Die Uhr aber ist vom Design klassisch Braun ("Form Follows Function"), leider zeigt die Verarbeitung erste Mängel. Nach einem Monat hat das Armband deutliche Gebrauchsspuren, nach 2 Monaten deutliche Gebrauchsspuren am Gehäuse und dem Glas und nach 8 Monaten ging sie mal, dann blieb sie wieder stehen, dann ging sie drei Wochen wieder usw. Amzon hat die Uhr kulanterweise wieder zurück genommen. Das ist meine zweite BRAUN-Uhr der "Neuzeit", die nur noch Plunder ist. BRAUN leider als Uhr nie wieder, schade, sehr schade.Allein des Designs wegen 1*...

Stylish...but nice and plain Strap had visible wear signs after 6 weeks!
Tried to give this a NO STAR mark, but it won't let me. Nice item received, looks as good as in picture when first set eyes on it, also didn't realise it had a light to show time in the dark so that was a bonus, sleek and elegant I would describe it, lets hope it does not break down within the warranty....and out of warranty to! Well just to follow up had it less than 6 weeks, and times started to go slow as well as strap after only 6 weeks started to show wear, in fact strap looked like it was 3/4 years old after 6 weeks, so rung Braun up who advised to return it, they repaired the whole mechanism of the watch but not the strap, they wanted £30 to replace strap as they said warranty did not cover the strap. They then wanted me to pay £10 for postage for watch to be sent back to me, which I refused, they then wanted me to agree then without this service I would be held responsible if item got lost in post on its return to me. I Informed amazon whom I bought it from, who advised me they would send me postage to return to them for full refund, which I have since as strap showing bad wear and tear after 6 weeks. Always looked at Braun as shaving gadgets, stay clear of any other products they make.......badly, and there rip-off customer service/repair centre

At Braun We Understand And Adhere To The Principles Of Great Design
"Good design makes a product useful". The illuminating face doesn't illuminate the hands, meaning that in the dark; they can't be used for telling the time."Good design is unobtrusive". The window for the date is too small and slender, purely to fit in with the aesthetic, it casts a permanent shadow over the numbers making them difficult to see."Good design is long-lasting". I've had two in six months, the first was replaced because it just stopped working, not a dead battery, it just gave up on being. The second is about to be replaced because the illumination has stopped working, which does mean it's just as useful as it was when it worked but if nothing happens when I press the button, the button becomes redundant and the watch makes promises it can't fulfil and as we all know "Good design is honest".The strap is also of very poor quality, it looks years old after a couple of weeks wear.Buy a different watch.

Useless .. Forget braun ... They used to represent qualityer
Steer well clear of this ..and any other braun product ...I once like many others held the view thatBraun represented quality, both in their product range and aftersales .. No longer so.I had this watch for less than a month before it stopped.Contacting their after sales team proved a waste of time ... They were ill-informed and unhelpful -evendenying Braun make watches!
