What to know about Braun Watches
Rams design language on the wrist
The watches carry over the functionalist rules Dieter Rams and Dietrich Lubs set for Braun appliances: high-contrast dials, Helvetica numerals, one yellow or red second hand.
The AW 10 is the anchor
Braun's first analogue wristwatch arrived in 1989 and remains the core reference, joined by the AW 50, BN chronographs and reissued travel and desk clocks.
A licence, not a watchmaker
Braun is owned by Procter & Gamble, and UK-based Zeon Ltd has held the exclusive worldwide watch and clock licence since 2010 — this is design-led rather than horology-led.

Brand facts
Braun's watch and clock line extends the functionalist design language Dieter Rams and Dietrich Lubs developed at the German appliance maker, whose timekeeping products began with digital alarm clocks in 1971. Its first analogue wristwatch, the AW 10, arrived in 1989 and remains the core reference alongside the AW 50, BN chronographs and reissued travel and desk clocks. Signature traits: high-contrast dials, Helvetica numerals, a single yellow or red second hand, and slim steel or resin cases. Braun is owned by Procter & Gamble; UK-based Zeon Ltd has held the exclusive worldwide watch and clock licence since 2010.
