About Braun-Clocks - UK

Written by the company

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. In an age of prosperity and saturation, the benefit of fewer, better products has become self-evident.

As Braun sets out to create desirable, innovative products, their gaze looks forward into the future, whilst the design principles they use to achieve consistency, simplicity and clarity are firmly rooted in the brand’s unique design legacy.

Through the productions processes in the Prestige collection, where the BN0095 has been crafted from a single block of stainless steel, to the use of materials for the Full Ceramic Watch, innovation remains a central focus on the Braun brand.

There are few better examples of these enduring design principles than Braun timepieces. These watches, clocks, and calculators have been created as collections of engaging simplicity, where less becomes so much more.

Replacement Braun Travel Clock

The clock was correct and it works, replacing one I bought from another supplier but is faulty, this made me purchase direct from Braun.
The clock had tracked postage and arrived promptly.

Battery change costs 75 EUROS!


Changing of battery costs a staggering 75 EUROs, as per the quotation of the sole enterprise in Germany, offering this service. Having ordered this watch on account of its beautiful design, I cancelled my order within 30 hours, only to learn it had already been handed to FedEx for shipment. I notified FedEx of my refusal to accept the delivery and received a full refund from BRAUN Clocks today, five weeks later.

VORSICHT! Bestellungen werden aus London versandt, da die Marke Braun-Clocks einer Firma Zeon Ltd., aus Hongkong, gehört. Zudem werden Uhren angeboten, für welche Batteriewechsel bis zu 75 Euro kosten! Ohne Warnung für den Ahnungslosen Käufer.

Many thanks for your feedback and apologies for this inconvenience. As listed on our website all orders are dispatched within 24 hours to meet expected delivery lead times, by the time your cancellation request came through your order had already been with FedEx. Our distribution team tried to stop the shipment but it was already passed to customs, hence it was not possible. After liaising with FedEx we come to know that you had refused to accept the delivery and for this reason it had to go through customs clearance before it can be returned to us here in UK. Anyway we are still awaiting the order to be returned to us, however have organised full refund to your account.
Kind Regards


Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback und entschuldigen Sie die Unannehmlichkeiten. Wie auf unserer Website aufgeführt, werden alle Bestellungen innerhalb von 24 Stunden versandt, um die erwarteten Lieferzeiten einzuhalten. Zum Zeitpunkt des Eintreffens Ihrer Stornierungsanfrage war Ihre Bestellung bereits bei FedEx. Unser Vertriebsteam hat versucht, die Lieferung zu stoppen, sie wurde jedoch bereits an den Zoll übergeben, sodass dies nicht möglich war. Nachdem wir uns mit FedEx in Verbindung gesetzt haben, erfahren wir, dass Sie die Annahme der Lieferung verweigert haben und diese deshalb die Zollabfertigung durchlaufen musste, bevor sie hier in Großbritannien an uns zurückgesandt werden kann. Wir warten jedoch immer noch auf die Rücksendung der Bestellung, haben jedoch die vollständige Rückerstattung auf Ihr Konto veranlasst.
Mit freundlichen Grüße

5 stars for looks. 1 star for the rest

5 stars for looks! Great design! Was that Dieter Rams?
1 star for quality and usability.
I bought this watch first time about 40 years ago. It kept failing after about 2 years. Since I like the design I would keep buying new when It was broken, because it was cheap, less than 10DM at the Frankfurt Airport. That is Deutche Marks not Euro.
I still have one clock with plastic hands warped that the minute hand hooks on the hour hand.
Now we are in new century (even in new millennium) I got it on amazon.ca and I am surprised that Braun sells clocks which require MANUAL setting of time! Again we are in year 2024. There are radio stations broadcasting time, there are GPS satellites with accurate time, there is WiFi which can get time from Internet, there is Bluetooth which can get time from mobile phone. And this MANUAL setting is very awkward and un-ergonomic.

Many thanks for your feedback and sorry to hear that you found the clock not as per your expectation. Some of the analogue models are very popular retro models and have been produced and reintroduced for its classic design and functionality.
For any further support please email our technical support team on technical@braun-clocks.com, quoting the model reference of the clock so they can assist and support accordingly.
Kind Regards

Excellence spoiled

I love the clean design, comfortable, great watch, I returned it as 1 thing spoils the value: clunky buttons! Not in keeping with the cost or elegance.

I returned the watch and a quick refund resulted.

BN0095 with Leather Strap is a terrible purchase in my opinion

In my opinion Braun make some of the best looking watches around. Unfortunately that is where my praises end. Around a year and a half ago I purchased a Braun BN0095 in silver with the leather strap. The glue in the strap deteriorated after about 4-5 months and the two layers have delaminated (and I didn't even wear the watch every day). The battery lasted about a year. The design makes batteries very difficult to replace. And also the strap is next to impossible to replace due to the design of the watch. It appears the the strap is fused to a 'custom lug' which is then bolted to the watch rather then using a normal spring bar mechanism. You cannot even interchange between the existing straps for the watch (metal, rubber) as they require a different type of custom lug attachment which I do not believe you can purchase anywhere on its own. For a '£550' watch this is utterly ridiculous in my opinion. I personally think I am willing to look past a lot because of how much I like the look of the watch, and how much I appreciate the heritage of the company. But if you are looking to pick up this watch I would recommend going with either the rubber or metal straps. That being said I do not have experience with either but they can surely only be better then the leather. For a company with such a reputation and history of 'good design', this product is honestly awful. Definitely my worst purchase in recent years.

Many thanks for your feedback and apologies for this inconvenience. The issue you have described about the strap is not something we have been reported in past so could well be an isolated issue. The strap can also be interchange from leather to either rubber or metal bracelet and we can provide all the fittings/fixings to carry out this change. The average battery life on this model is approximately 24-30 months, however with any models, if chronograph function is operated on frequent basis then battery life will be reduced accordingly.
The change of battery can be carried out by our engineers, however a professional watch repairer will also be able to handle it accordingly.
Please do request to email our technical support team on technical@braun-clocks.com and they will assist in resolving this matter accordingly.

Many thanks for your message and sorry to hear that you are experiencing issues with your BC21 wireless charging clock.
This is not something we have been reported in past by other users.

Please make sure the phone is correctly placed on the charging pad, the charging icon will appear on display, also make sure the casing on the phone is not too thick as usually this can prevent the charging functionality and finally make sure the clock is connected correctly and phone software is updated.

We also recommend restarting the phone for refresh and for any malfunctioning issue .

Please request to review the above and if the issue persist then request to email our technical support team on technical@braun-clocks.com who will assist accordingly.

Kind Regards
