Braun BN0095 Watch Review
Here we have another well-designed timepiece from the German company Braun. When people see the brand name they typically think of coffee machines and men’s shavers. True enough on the Braun website, right under “Clocks and Watches” are the categories of “Male Grooming,” followed by “Female Grooming.” I suppose they consider keeping good time part of a hygienic lifestyle.When we last visited a Braun watch it was a review of the digital BN106 (reviewed here). Now we take you to an analog timepiece that represents another side of their design abilities. Still modern and Bauhaus-style minimalistic, this BN0095 range isn’t a bad choice for someone looking for a simple yet stylish daily wear. In Braun’s “Prestige” range, this is among their top selections. We look at both the brushed steel and PVD black coated steel versions.
EHF Mk Zero Watch Review
This is the EHF Mk Zero, here for review from the new Swiss company, EHF Horlogere. Founded in 2011, EHF is five people who are trying to bring hand craftsmanship to affordable watches. I first heard about them when they posted a rather audacious tutorial on their blog of “how to assemble a ‘Swiss Made’ pilot watch on the cheap.” (well worth a read, by the way.) I contacted them and they kindly sent us a watch for review and have also agreed to give it away to a lucky reader in a contest this fall. So read on, and perhaps you’ll be the person who ends up enjoying this very piece.As a new company with moonlighting watchmakers, EHF starts with catalog movements from ETA, in this case an ETA 6497, finished by Soprod to Elabore grade. EHF spends one to two days per movement, plating with black rhodium, hand-beveling the bridges and timing the completed movements. It’s a level of attention that, as they point out, you don’t normally see done under $
