Braun, renowned for its minimalist design ethos and functional aesthetics, partners with Hodinkee to unveil the BN0279 Center Seconds and BN0279 Sub-Seconds Limited Edition Watches. Inspired by Braun’s archives, these timepieces pay homage to the brand’s iconic wristwatch designs while infusing a contemporary flair.
Dietrich Lubs, a pupil of Dieter Rams, spearheaded Braun’s foray into analog wristwatches with the AW10 in 1989. Stripping away excess, Lubs crafted a timepiece that epitomized simplicity and functionality. Now, Hodinkee brings forth a modern interpretation of Braun’s heritage, limited to just 100 pieces each.
The BN0279 models boast a 40mm bead-blasted stainless steel case, a departure from traditional watch finishes, enhancing visual allure under scrutiny. Retaining Braun’s signature elements, including the yellow seconds hand and red chevron date window, these watches stay true to the brand’s legacy while incorporating Hodinkee’s distinctive touch.
Powered by a Swiss ETA 2892A2 automatic movement, these watches offer impeccable timekeeping precision. The absence of numerals on the dial maintains visual harmony, with only lume-filled hands and a white minutes track for time indication.
Available now in the Hodinkee Shop for $950, each watch comes with complimentary domestic shipping and discounted worldwide shipping. With a blend of timeless Braun design and Hodinkee’s unique additions, the Braun BN0279 Limited Edition Watches exemplify the epitome of modern horology.
