Today you may recognize from your phone – the design of ET66 was the influence behind iPhone’s digital calculator. The aluminum legs with striated cushioning and a fiberglass shell achieve a result that is a sleek and beautiful visual profile, yet, surprisingly comfortable. You just have to look at this shaver next to any of its contemporaries to see how revolutionary its design was in 1962. During this time he got an in depth understanding of how the company operated, developing good relationship with the various teams at Braun. Remarkably, through the years, Rams remained as provocative and questioning a product design leader as ever, in his quest for “good design”.

The German mechanic, constructor and optician Anton (Antonius) Braun (see biography of Anton Braun) (1686-1728) from Möhringen (Baden-Württemberg, Germany), was appointed in 1724 as a mechanician and optician of the imperial court in Vienna, Austria. Rams even devised a system of colour coding for Braun’s products, which were made in white and grey. Other uses, including exhibition catalogue and display, broadcast, advertising, book jackets and commercial packaging, are covered by our commercial terms.This simple calculator is considered one of the most successful designs produced by Braun when Rams served as Chief Design Officer. The calculation machine has a setting mechanism that can be rotated for the result mechanism so that both multiplication and division is possible. Nationality German Place of Birth Möhringen an der Donau (bei Tuttlingen), a small town on the upper Danube, in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. A particular favourite was the 1968 T2 Cylinder cigarette lighter inspired by the development of a new magnetic ignition technology.

When you turn the crank it adds the entered number to the result mechanism (12-digits with complimentary numbers shown), the result is shown in the windows along with the cover. Complicated concepts showed in a simple way – this is a principle that weaves through all of Dieter Rams’ work, especially the Braun Lectron System. 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. On April 19, 1712, was designated as “University optician and mathematician” and he married the “Postmaster daughter” Maria Magdalena Stein from Ettlingen.They were both interested in instrument making; however, Johann Georg never reached the technical brilliance of his older brother – Anton.

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. Soon afterwards, in the summer of 1955, Rams left the company for a position as architect and interior designer at Braun. The ET66 calculator was given particular focus, with many comparing the iPhone calculator app design with that of the Braun model.

He presented to the Emperor his advanced calculating machine, which he constructed in 1724 and which was already in use at the imperial court. 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.

It comes loaded with MathPrint, which converts the equations to the same format you see in textbooks, and it’s approved for use during PSAT, SAT, and ACT college entrance exams, as well as AP exams that allow graphing calculators.Even though the tens-carry mechanism of the machine did not function properly in every place, the idea of a central adapting segment was a great innovation which found extensive use in several brilliant machines some 200 years later on, like the magnificent Curta of Herzstark, even though it used a stepped drum as the central element.
