Braun BC01B Quartz alarm clock Black

The Braun BC01B classic analogue alarm clock draws direct inspiration from the AB 5 clock designed by Dietrich Lubs in the late 1980s. This compact black quartz alarm clock combines a clear analogue dial, a distinctive yellow second hand and luminous-tipped hour and minute hands for improved legibility. The BC01B is powered by an AA battery and features a quiet quartz tick movement built from durable materials for long-lasting, reliable use.

Advantages

The BC01B offers a simple, easy-to-read dial with high-contrast hands and a recognisable yellow second hand that reflects Braun’s design heritage. Updates include an integrated foot-activated snooze and light function, enhanced movement accuracy and luminous tips on hour and minute hands for visibility in low light. Its compact dimensions (69 mm width and height, 37 mm depth) make it suitable for tight bedside spaces while maintaining robust construction.

Suitable for

• Bedside tables in bedrooms or guest rooms
• Small desks or office workspaces
• Travel where a compact analogue alarm is preferred

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use a high-quality alkaline AA battery and replace it annually or when the movement slows. Place the clock on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity. Clean with a soft, dry cloth; avoid liquids and harsh chemicals.
