History

In 1971, Braun, renowned for its exceptional product designs, established an innovative product division to venture into clocks, watches, and calculators. By 1975, the company officially launched its first Pocket series pocket calculator. Over the next 20 years, Braun produced approximately 12 models, from ET11 to ET90, culminating in the reissued BNE001BK in 2013, the brand's most recent calculator.
