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!

    • Oh well, if Master @nickelsilver says it's the way to go, then it is the way to go! I stand corrected! 🫡 Are there any other places where you're supposed to remove the epilame from the contact point of rubbing? I don't think so! Thanks for the effort @Neverenoughwatches, much appreciated! 🙂👍

    • For clarity and ease of testing, I redid that diagram, flipping the circuit to match the layout of the physical watch.
    • Hello, Thanks for the reply. The old jewel will get pushed out from the "outside" which is the dial side. The new jewel will get pressed in from the inside (shown below) which is the movement side, correct?     And the old jewel and spring will get pushed from the is the "outside" which is the dial side. Thank you very much for the information. I will take out the KIF spring and save it. Will update when the new jewel is in place!   Regards, Joe
    • It's a little circlip style retaining clip to keep the pinion from riding up out of position.
