Braun ABK 31 modernist-inspired wall clock
A stunning design from the 1980s, but this Braun ABK 31 wall clock probably owes more to the 1930s for inspiration.
It's a stunning, modernist-inspired wall clock, produced in 1985, the work of Dietrich Lubs under the design directorship of Dieter Rams. In terms of detail, it has an off-white face, glossy red bezel and a matt grey body, with the numerals adding that modernist touch.
Battery powered and in 'excellent' condition, the current price is £50.
eBay watch: Braun Phase One alarm clock by Dieter Rams
Interesting piece of design on eBay right now, with the Braun Phase One alarm clock currently looking something of a steal.
Designed by the legendary Dieter Rams and Dietrich Lubs back in 1971, it's a minimalist, flip-style alarm clock in black and white, that alarm being a buzzer, as you might expect.
According to the seller, the body surface is 'glossy and free of scuffs and scratches' and is currently being offered at just 99 pence. Like I said, something of a steal.
