Braun BC08-DCF Digital Travel Alarm Clock | Radio Controlled | White

The Braun BC08-DCF is a radio controlled travel alarm clock: it sets itself by the time signal from the atomic clock, so it is always right, even when the clocks change. This digital alarm clock measures 5.8 by 5.8 cm and is two centimetres thick, a small clock that fits easily in a suitcase or hand luggage. The design won a Red Dot Design Award in 2020.

Radio controlled, and what that means

The clock picks up the time from the atomic clock in Frankfurt, via the DCF signal. That works within a radius of roughly 1,500 kilometres around Frankfurt, so in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Denmark, Switzerland and northern Italy. Outside that range you switch the function off and set the time by hand.

Along for the trip

Its low weight and small format make it easy to take with you. It runs on a single AAA battery and stands firmly on a hotel bedside table.

The display and the button on top

The display is a negative LCD: light digits on a dark background, so only the time and the alarm time light up and the rest of the clock stays dark. The button on the top switches the backlight on — the same button you snooze with in the morning, so you do not have to search for it in the dark. How strong the contrast is depends on the light in the room.
