A classic Braun travel clock, designed by Lubs while working under the design directorship of Dieter Rams.By this point in time the firm's analogue clock range's defining characteristics had become well established: the matte black casing, pared down dial and coloured hands (wide white hands for hours and minutes, narrow yellow for sweeping seconds hand and inconspicuous black hand with contrasting coloured point for the alarm setting) are present. The extremely thin profile, snooze function and lockable protective fold-down front cover with world time zones printed on the inside add further dimensions - to my mind even with the passage of time it remains an ideal clock to take on your holidays. This one even features an integral light.With all elements designed to prioritise ease-of-use for the user, it's a fabulous example of Braun's timeless Bauhaus-tradition design.
ConditionThe clock is in excellent fully functioning condition, with only light signs of use. It comes with its original box (in good condition with general wear/signs of age) and instructions. An amazing find!

Non-payment
All non-paying bidders are, without exception, reported to eBay. This is not for the sake of being vindictive, but because eBay charges retrospective fees calculated on the actual sale price of items and this money needs to be retrieved. It's hard enough to make ends meet on here as it is! Thank you for your understanding. Please refer to eBay's policy on non-payment for more information, including its ramifications for the bidder.
Condition of items
Please note that, unless clearly stated otherwise, my listings are for vintage/antique items and therefore, by definition, are not going to be in the same condition you would expect from a brand new item. Please be assured that I always endeavour to offer the most accurate description possible of the item's condition and take multiple illustrative photographs.
Vintage electrical items
Vintage electrical items are sold in their original condition without electrical guarantee, so must always be safety checked by a qualified electrician (in the country of intended use) before use.
