About
The Braun Mactron F 1 lighter is a perfect study in the reduction of form to its purest function. A single aluminium body, one ignition switch, one fuel window. Nothing more. The tactile quality of the brushed metal finish and the precise click of the mechanism make it one of the most satisfying objects Rams ever designed.
