Design with practical use by Dietrich Lubs. The Braun Company from Germany thought of it in the 1990’s (manual dated 1996). This sleek design body houses a clock (which corrects itself from the radio time signal) and an FM radio combined with an alarm function, light and a sleep timer as well as the world timezones in the front door. Door and antenna are still stiff in operation. All functions work of course on only 4x LR6/AA (penlight) batteries (not included). Hardly any signs of use or age on the item, many signs of storage on the box, including a small tears. This ABR314 df or 3869 measures only ca. 20 cm or 8 inches wide. Do check this nice video I found on Youtube on Braun Design – form follows function:
