It's a bit ridiculous to send an overpriced watch with the least reliable curier, the national post. I'm even reviewing without having recieved the watch yet after 20days(whithin Europe).

Braun clocks is a UK based Braun shop (so there are custom fees if you order from Europe). This is not obvious at the website. The delivery time (for France) was fast, less than a week, (no complaints... See more

About Braun Clocks - DE
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.

You could be more clear about shipping…
You could be more clear about shipping from UK. It looks like you are an official Braun store and then I, wrongfully, assumed that shipping would be from an EU member country. So customs and taxes added when importing the clock from UK. Ended up very expensive compared to EU-based shops.
The clock sets itself to GMT but in Sweden we are in CET time zone. Had an email exchange with support that suddenly ended without a solution. I still don’t know if the clock is faulty, preset to the wrong time zone or if it is possible to to set the time zone manually. Overall a bad experience although the clock is very stylish

I don't trust in this company
I don't trust in this company, they are from outside EU so each time you buy from them you will have to pay taxes and to do annoying paperwork. They write it on them web but at the end like very hide from the clients sight. I don't trust in them, disgusting customer service.

I am incredibly disappointed with my purchase
I am incredibly disappointed with my Braun alarm clock. I thought I was buying an emblematic piece of design. Instead I bought a horribly manufactured clock that is falling to pieces. When it arrived the luminescent paint on the clock hands had fallen off, I had to open the clock to remove the debris. Furthermore, now the button is not working very well, it gets stuck and is extremely clunky. The manufacturing is clearly not done as it was once, it’s a beautiful design made with bad materials and bad manufacturing. I’ve tried unsuccessfully to buy a vintage one. It’s poor branding by Braun to have such an emblematic piece be produced so horribly. I am sure Braun is aware of this, I would stop manufacturing entirely if this is the quality of the products.

Feedback met with defensiveness
I like the watch.
However, when I provided constructive feedback (consider informing customers more clearly about the importing costs associated with buying from Europe as this is is an unpleasant surprise that in my case increased my costs by 60%), this was met with defensiveness
Please regard this as an opportunity to improve! :)

The fact that your watches are shipped…
The fact that your watches are shipped from the UK and therefore require paying prohibitive import taxes is indicated, but not sufficiently clearly. Especially since all your marketing suggests that Braun is still a German brand, made in Germany (even your satisfaction survey is in German). When I pointed this out to your customer service time, your answer was simply “it is indicated on such and such a page of our website”… Too bad, because I'm happy with the product.

The masterpiece of aesthetic
The masterpiece of aesthetic. Beautifully crafted watch. Excellent Customer Service.
