History of Braun

The hiring of Dieter Rams in 1955 had far-reaching implications for Braun. Starting as an interior designer, Dieter Rams soon became the nucleus of Braun design. Braun set new design standards for clarity and reduction, combined with innovative technology for clocks, watches and calculators in the 1980s. Rams and his colleague Dietrich Lubs launched a range of functional timepieces based on the established visual language that made Braun products iconic. In recent years this range has been re-established, revived and updated to bring the past forward. Dieter Rams later emerged as one of the most influential industrial designers of the late 20th century by defining an elegant, legible, yet rigorous visual language that is ingrained in every Braun product.

Classic Watches

The outstanding design concept of our Classic watches keep to the core values and concept of Dieter Rams. These watches exemplify clean, modern design, making them timelessly classic.

Ten Principles of Good Design

Over the last six decades, design has become a core pillar of the Braun brand. The values of quality, functionality, clarity, longevity and timelessness have been integrated into an enduring design philosophy. Braun users identify with these values; for them, Braun watches, Braun clocks, and Braun calculators are long-term companions.

Award Winning

Over the past 60 years, Braun has become an institution in the design community and a frequent reference point in the education of each new generation of creatives. That recognition also extends to the world’s most renowned design awards. Having received a total of 18 awards in the past 5 years.

Classic Braun design well executed with a budget Miyota movement

Classic Braun design well executed with a budget Miyota movement
Braun AG was a famous German consumer products company whose products were firmly rooted in German modern industrial design that remain fresh as classics that have survived the test of time. I loved the design of Braun watches and clocks when they first came to market in the 1970's but never actually owned one in the day. With Braun out of business for many years, you have to wonder who is actually making 'modern' Braun watches? Discovery took a bit of research so please bear with me.Braun AG established in 1921, became a wholly owned subsidiary of The Gillette Company from 1984 until 2007. Procter & Gamble Co., the American multinational consumer goods company, subsequently acquired Gillette in 2005. In October of 2009, the company "Zeon Limited", a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Herald Group; a Public Corporation listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, signed an exclusive licensing agreement with Procter & Gamble Co. to develop and produce clocks and watches using the Braun brand starting in 2010. Zeon has built their business selling fashion products based on the strength of licensed brand names. Zeon manufactures watches under a number of licensed brands including Braun, Vivienne Westwood, Playboy, Ed Hardy, Beetles, Lambretta, Alexandra Burke, Paul's Boutique and Bench. Zeon owns the "Ingersoll" trademark.Original Braun watches garnered a reputation for providing high quality with Swiss Ronda movements, so the question is, has Zeon Ltd's execution been faithful to Braun's stellar reputation? I'd have to answer; yes but no. I'm assuming the watch is cased in Asia as Zeon trades in Hong Kong and they've made a conscious effort to hide the country of origin that isn't listed on the watch case, the box or any printed materials. Seems obvious that the Braun watches originate from Zeon's home market in China.The watch casing and band are quite lovely so in my opinion Zeon has done an excellent job recreating the essence of Braun's design, but watch movements are arguably the most important part of any watch and that's where Zeon has cut corners. This Braun is fitted with a Miyota 1S13 Japanese quartz movement (Zero jewels) that is a reliable pedestrian movement found in lots of fashion watches ($6-$7 movement). Miyota quartz movements are made by a division of Citizen LTD and assembled in Japan. Battery life for this movement is rated at 3 years.Zeon provides a two year warranty with the specification that the owner is responsible for shipping costs both ways and that a standard processing fee of $15 is applied to all warranty service requests. So at the end of the day, a warranty trip costs you about $25 when you add freight. Warranty coverage essentially excludes everything other than the movement that only costs Zeon a few bucks to replace so any ‘warranty service’ is essentially client funded.Based on the casing and the caliber of the movement, in my opinion this watch should retail between $65 to $85.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful piece
Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2021
Stellar design, quality for the price. Some of the reviews here got me pretty concerned about the quality issues people have mentioned. However, after wearing mine for a few days, I have to say, so far it has been super great. Bought the watch for 80 some dollars and it has got to be the cheapest yet most beautiful watch I’ve ever purchased. The clean aesthetic is perfect for my wardrobes, casual, business, athelesure. Im very impressed by the craftsmanship, where everything aligned, sealed, adhered perfectly. Hands are straight, and very accurate down to the minute so far. The second hand ticks with pep and moves ever so steadily. The leather or synthetic leather band wears in softly after a day of use. The watch face is light to decent weight on the wrist and drapes nicely. Brushed nickel watch enclosing and accent is flawless. I shall provide update after a couple of months time. But So Far, it is a great addition to my collection of apple and mechanical watches.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good from far but far from good - Don't waste your money
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2023
This watch looks amazing. That's it.

The watch arrived with the calendar 3 days behind, there's literally no mechanism to adjust the date.

The seconds hand is completely inaccurate and misses the second every second (a broken clock is right at least twice a day but this does not even try).

The back is impossible to put back.

Why did I open the back,you ask, I could not take it with the date being 3 days behind; so I figured that surely there's got to be a mechanism to adjust the date. And would you believe it... There's none... Pulling the crown only adjusts the minute and,subsequently, the hour hand.

Adjusting the wristband for fit is not very easy.

The package comes with a document you can scan to register the product and and get instructions. The model I bought(BN0032WHSLMHG) does not even appear on their website.

Reviewed in Canada on January 7, 2018
It's hard to describe just how much I have fallen for this watch. I have a fairly sizable watch collection, and apart from my speedy, this is the only watch that I immediately fell in love with when I opened the box. I especially like how, at a glance, it looks like its something from the 60's, and then upon closer inspection it is refreshingly modern. Good quality, extremely easy to read, gets lots of compliments and for a great price. The hardest decision for me was deciding between the black one, and this one. Trust me, get the silver one, it's gorgeous.
