Braun 4 821 alarm clock with no alarm :(

Hello,

 

I know, this is not the usual watch/clock type you are working and discussing on here, but: I have a wonderful old Braun 4821 alarm clock with a complete stutterfree second hand (a dream to watch). The only thing: the alarm doesn’t go off. It clicks - and: silence. Battery is new. The "movement" has the numbers 4 809.

I also know that these models weren’t made to ever be repaired and it is no big problem that the alarm is silent, as the time is shown properly. But I wanted to know if one of you out there might have a clue if I can just clean a contact or something else?

 

Thanks in advance!

This is not my field when it comes to clocks. I used to restore mechanical clocks.

The only thing I can suggest is try to get to the movement and clean the contacts. This type of clock movement are just throw away when they pack up. Sorry I cannot be more helpful.

I never understood why alarms sound so terrible. Every one of you heard this sound and it's just awful. I also never liked to put a bug on the phone because it is very easy to turn it off. That is why I love using bluetooth wake-up calls. This is really very convenient. I found the  best models of bluetooth alarm clocks on the Internet on the Internet and decided to download them. As a result, I started to wake up much faster and my son became more stable. So the bluetooth alarm clock helped me normalize my sleep pattern. By the way, here you can find a detailed overview of each model!

    • people be honest.... Swatch is evil for the watchmakers and repairers, BUT not everything in watches from Switzerland is from the Swatch-Group. As far as i know, Selitta got sacked by Swatch as a Movement-Assembler for them and they started to produce Movements in their own Name with slight Modifications. As far as i know, they sell Parts to the Market for their Movements. In most cases, if a ETA-Movement fails, it is a valid Option to replace it with a Selitta Movement, which i consider the Solution for this Mess with the Swatch-Group...... I have no Connection to anybody at Selitta, but being a Swiss-Guy, i still like to have Swiss-Made Watches, but not from the Swatch-Group.   ok ? regards, Ernst
    • Just one more greedy act by Swatch. They started a number of years ago here in the US..cutting off supplies to watchmakers that could build complications that many Swatch houses couldn't even touch. Old school masters who had gone through some of the most prestigious houses in the world. Otto Frei has some statements on their page about it. I tell all my customers to avoid new Swiss watches like the plague,..unless they just want an older one in their collection that still has some parts out on the market, or they have really deep pockets and don't mind waiting months and paying through the nose to get it back. Plenty of others to choose from..IE Seiko,..or other non-swiss brands Even a number of Chinese brands are catching up with the Swiss,..and I think that in time, their actions will be their downfall
    • Yes. If that's not what you are experiencing...start looking for something rubbing. A 1st guess is that one of the hands is rubbing against the hole in the center of the dial. Especially if you now have lower amplitude in face up/ face down positions.
    • Once a movement has the dial and hands put back and it is recased, would you expect the assembled watch to have the same amplitude as when the movement is in a movement holder and is without hands and dial? Thanks
