Braun Calculator - Black

Product Information

The second calculating machine is commonly named the Leupold-Braun-Vayringe machine . This is because the idea of the calculating mechanism was proposed by Leupold, the construction was by Braun, and the actual manufacturing was made by Vayringe.

collection of Deutsches Museum, Munich (the world’s largest museum of science and technology), contains not only the original of Leupold-Braun-Vayringe machine , but also a very beautiful modern replica with a transparent glass lid. Anton Braun: Marriage, Children, and Personal Life Net Worth Anton Braun was appointed in 1724 as a mechanician and optician of the imperial court in Vienna, Austria.The radio-phonograph created in 1956 was one of his most iconic works for Braun, which secured the company’s success. The ET66 calculator was given particular focus, with many comparing the iPhone calculator app design with that of the Braun model. It did, indeed, look surprisingly similar, although it has been somewhat modified since, and it came as little surprise, given that both Jobs and Ive used to admire the products and design philosophies of Rams – one of those being that, ‘good design is long lasting’. Complicated concepts showed in a simple way – this is a principle that weaves through all of Dieter Rams’ work, especially the Braun Lectron System. You just have to look at this shaver next to any of its contemporaries to see how revolutionary its design was in 1962. Sixty years later and it still looks like it’s from the future. The ET 33 Calculator (1977) The list of Braun products that changed the game is extensive, but we reached out to a handful of self-proclaimed Highsnobiety Braun fans to help narrow it down to five.

Founded in Frankfurt in 1921 by the engineer Max Braun, the company had soon gained a sound reputation for engineering and for developing new products, including electric shavers, kitchen utensils and the first combined radio and record player. After Max’s death in 1951, his sons Artur and Erwin Braun took charge and repositioned Braun to benefit from the expansion of the post-war consumer electronics market. It was a time of rapid technological change when manufacturers were harnessing the engineering advances made in the defence industry during World War II to develop new electronic products for consumers. That was also a time of changing taste. The first wirelesses, gramophones and television sets had been hidden inside wooden cabinets to resemble traditional furniture, but the new generation of post-war consumers had lost their parents’ taboos about technology, which they saw as an exciting symbol of progress. The Braun brothers continued with the production of radio and phone sets, shavers and kitchen utensils initiated by their father. However, having realised that the styling of their products needed to become more sophisticated, in 1954 they asked the tutors of the recently founded Hochschule für Gestaltung (Ulm School of Design) to advise them on product design. Hans Gugelot was put in charge of designing radio and phone sets; Olt Alcher designed trade fair exhibition stands and communications systems for Braun, and Fritz Eichler dedicated his efforts to making advertising spots. From today’s perspective, this Braun calculator may not seem like anything special, but it was, in fact, a life-changing design. Ada Lovelace – Complete Biography, History and Inventions: One of the most prominent figures in mathematics, Ada Lovelace did some advance work on the Analytical Engine. One of my favorite Braun archive pieces given its impact. Rams’ sensitivity for form and function is really mind-blowing, the more you take it in. Still trying to work out how he came up with the dots. The TP1 Record player (1959) The Mad Men shaver. Surely does the job while coming in a handy size, with little yet meaningful design.This Braun calculator is the reissue of the Braun ET66 calculator, one of Braun's most iconic designs, which was collaboratively designed by Dietrich Lubs and Dieter Rams and originally released in 1987. The Braun ET66 calculator is considered to be the pinnacle of the “less but better” philosophy thanks to its simple, rectangular design with convex, circular buttons. includes a protective slide cover. Battery included. The machine featured a single central so-called adapting segment, which allowed the number of special, complicated parts to be greatly reduced. Below the setting mechanism was placed a set of vertical cylinders, each with nine rods of different lengths rising from its top. For example, if the digit nine was entered, the shortest rod was rotated to the outside, as then one full turn of the crank turned the central adapting segment once around the central axle.
