Who watches Brown buys who knows what he's doing and what he is getting into. Many reviewers write something of "poor quality" or "cheap version". This I can confirm no way! Brown is renowned for timeless design and design classics. Even the legendary Braun HiFi systems were cult and are still sought after by collectors. From the same design forging the Braun watches come. Unfortunately, Brown sold the watch division of its own production to a licensee a few years ago, which now produces the watches. Appearance and probably the quality are identical to the currently self-produced by Braun watches. The clock has a digital display that can switch between second hand and date display (day). The dial and the hands are free, without glass cover. Conclusion: The clock just looks great and you get a design classic for a fair price.
