With the BN0172, Braun introduced a full ceramic case on a genuine leather strap for the first time, in a larger 42 mm size. The matt, silky shimmering case, reduced geometric form and simple dial with the iconic yellow second hand are, in Braun’s words, a contemporary and yet classic interpretation of its philosophy.

Best for

Everyday wear, the office, travel and anyone who likes design they can read at a glance.

Who this is not for

  • Swimmers: a 3 ATM rating covers splashes, not swimming.
  • Collectors who want an automatic or mechanical movement: this is a battery-powered quartz watch.
  • Anyone who wants smartwatch features: it tells the time, beautifully, and that is all.
  • Very slim wrists: the 42 mm diameter case wears large.

Why we carry it

We’ve been curating design-led pieces since 2009, and few products show where modern design comes from as clearly as Braun’s. The current collection is based on the original Dietrich Lubs and Dieter Rams designs of the 1970–1990 era, some with technical updates for the 21st century.

Buy once: durability and care

Our advice: wipe the case and crystal with a soft dry cloth. Keep the leather strap away from water and perfume and let it air-dry if it gets wet. Have the quartz battery replaced by a jeweler or watch shop when the second hand starts to skip.
