About

The Braun Phase 2 quartz wall clock distils timekeeping to its bare minimum. A thin white disc, a pair of hands, and nothing more. Designed by Dietrich Lubs — who worked closely with Rams — it embodies the same principles: honest materials, considered proportions, and a complete absence of decoration. Time, made visible.
