Braun BN0172 Classic Ceramic Watch in black: a unisex watch from the German design house whose watches and clocks were shaped by Dieter Rams and Dietrich Lubs.
$335. New, from Braun’s official US distributor.
The Design Story
Innovative use of materials is a core principle of Braun design. The BN0172 applies it to the watch case itself: matt black ceramic, cut to a reduced geometric shape, paired with a leather strap.
Why You’ll Love It
Ceramic has a soft, silky sheen that steel can’t match, and in all-black it is the most understated Braun on the list. Braun is where so much of modern product design started: Dieter Rams and Dietrich Lubs drew watches and clocks for the company that still look current half a century later.
Made for Real Life
Give it a wipe with a soft cloth now and then, keep the leather dry. When the battery runs low, any good watch shop can swap it. Its 3 ATM rating handles rain and hand washing; leave it on the nightstand for swims and showers.
