A larger version of Braun's classic BC02, based on Dietrich Lubs' late-1980s AB1 design and built around the same minimalist dial Braun has used across decades of clocks and watches. A quiet quartz sweep movement runs the hands, with luminous tips and the brand's signature yellow second hand keeping it legible without a single unnecessary detail.

A tap on the top activates snooze or light — no buttons to fumble for in the dark — and the crescendo alarm builds gradually rather than jolting you awake all at once.
