Joint Swiss-Movement Mechanical Watches

Hodinkee and Braun Join Forces on Limited Timepieces

— March 5, 2024 — Fashion
Hodinkee and Braun work in collaboration to introduce the Braun BN0279 Center Seconds and Braun BN0279 Sub-Seconds Limited timepieces. These are inspired by the original Braun wristwatch design drawn from its archives and Hodinkee applies its expertise to result in an impressive and highly sought out series.

This marks the second time that Braun is producing a mechanical watch that uses a Swiss-made movement with the ETA 2892-2 automatic caliber complete with a 42-hour power reserve. Both of the watches are made to celebrate the iconic AW10 and AW50 models, boasting sophistication in the interior and exterior design. Each watch is limited to 100 units and will be exclusively available at the Hodinkee Shop for the price of $950. These are captivating with the mid-century modern aesthetic contributed by Braun with a modern touch.
