The Braun x Hodinkee Iconic limited-edition watches feature two timepieces that are devoted to minimalism. The dials have a delicate white minute track and slender, lume-filled hands instead of being cluttered with numbers. There's a clear homage to the brand's history of design with the prominent display of the classic Braun emblem. A plush black rubber band completes each watch, adding to overall wearability.

Braun Center Seconds, BN0279

This version pays homage to AW10 with an eye-catching yellow seconds hand that lives up to the otherwise muted look. Precision and dependability are guaranteed by the Swiss-made ETA 2892A2 caliber, which is housed in a 44mm bead-blasted stainless steel case.

With the help of Hodinkee's skill in watchmaking, Braun's design philosophy is modernized in the Center Seconds.

Braun Subseconds BN0279

Braun's design language is encapsulated in the Sub-Seconds variation, which draws inspiration from the AW50. It has a simple, minimalist dial with a recognizable red arrowed date window. This watch, which is powered by the same ETA 2892A2 caliber, is evidence of the timeless appeal of Braun's design aesthetic combined with superior Swiss engineering.

One cannot emphasize how much Braun has influenced current design. With a decades-long history, the company has always produced goods that are true to the Bauhaus movement's core values of excess-free beauty, practicality, and simplicity. These ideas are carried through in Braun's watchmaking endeavors, which result in subtle yet distinctly Braun clocks.

Hodinkee has always been about having a profound respect for watchmaking, from its start as a watch blog to its current position as a reputable store and industry authority. This partnership with Braun demonstrates Hodinkee's dedication to highlighting distinctive and significant timepieces that combine historical respect with modern design principles.

The Braun x Hodinkee Iconic limited-edition watches are the result of an important partnership between two titans of the industry. At $950 apiece, these limited-edition timepieces provide a unique chance to acquire a masterpiece of watchmaking and design.
