I had a visually equal Braun travel alarm clock "made in Germany" since about 20 years, which no longer is now. So I ordered to get the best quality in anticipation of this here. As soon as you pick it up you notice the difference to the plastic parts, but that every few days the hours hand will stop, despite running second hand did not go, because then the alarm clock does not wake. That is the main function can not. Such quality is not acceptable.
