Martin Braun was introduced to the world of watchmaking at an early age by his father and master goldsmith Karl-Christian Braun. The elder Braun was a well-known specialist producer of watch cases. Martin officially became a watchmaker upon graduating from Pforzheim's famed School of Watchmaking in 1983. He then embarked on a watch internship with a well-known watch company, and was bestowed with the title "master watchmaker" in 1991 at the age of 27. During Martin Braun's studies to become a master watchmaker, he worked on an idea with one of his instructors for a timepiece to display sunrise and sunset. Braun worked on this concept for almost five years before proudly presenting the fruits of his labor, the EOS model in November 2000. At the same time he announced the founding of his own brand featuring a collection of watches strictly of his own design. Martin Braun, the brand, is now known to the watch world for its astronomical complications, creativity and incomparable designs.
