Description
The classic vintage Braun 4861 ABK 30 wall clock designed by Dietrich Lubs, 1985
White face with ivory surround.
One of the earliest quartz clocks made by Braun with Lubs functional design.
This original example of the much sought after and admired clock is in lovely
original condition.
Braun clocks are becoming harder to come by.
This clock is fully working and keeps perfect time, to be expected from a
Braun product.
A great example of classic 80s minimalist product and graphic design.
190mm diameter x 20mm deep (approx 8″ x 3/4″)
‘Three rules seem to govern every Braun design – a rule of order, a rule of harmony, and a rule of economy.’ – Richard Moss, Industrial Design Magazine 1982
The clocks I sell are all vintage and some will have some age related wear. I will bring
attention to any flaws in this description.
Clocks are fully tested and are kept running up to dispatch to ensure correct time keeping.
Clocks are dispatched in new packaging.

Klokhuis Clocks
Stylish mid century clocks repurposed for today’s world.
I am a clockmaker/restorer, I have been in the business for 40 years.
All my clocks are stripped down, cleaned and repaired and serviced where necessary, new, high quality quartz movements are fitted, this does away with the need for the clock to have cables trailing down walls or across shelves or mantelpieces, unreliable clockwork movements are also replaced.
The original hands will be modified to suit the new movement, it is a little time consuming, but worth the effort, a clock with hands that do not match the original design of the clock just doesn’t look right.
My eye for detail results in a great looking original clock, flexible in location and ready to fit in in with contemporary and MCM decors.
Packaging: The packaging I use is either recyclable, reusable or compostable, the bubble wrap can be reused, I don’t buy bubblewrap but reuse what is sent to me, you can do the same, the cardboard box will recycle.
I don’t over restore, clocks are cleaned, I have developed techniques for making the metal work look as new as possible, all by hand, this is not done by machine polishing which, being harsh, will round off the clean sharp edges, the clocks just don’t look right when they are overworked, they were never like that when new!, the end result with my clocks, in my opinion, is a great looking clock in lovely original condition.
