About
The Braun Mach 2 is a pocket gas lighter of sculptural economy. Where the F 1 is a flat, pocket-worn object, the Mach 2 stands upright — a slim rectangular column of brushed aluminium with a single ignition lever flush to the body. In the hand it disappears; on a table it becomes a small monument to precision.
