Berneron Incoming

As Oscar Wilde once said “Nowadays people know the price of everything but the value of nothing”. Watch collecting is about buying the seller, not just the watch. When it comes to ascertaining the worth of a timepiece, I have to say that sentimental value (amongst other attributes) is often is at the upper end of my pecking order. The Mirage to me is one of the most special of time pieces. It brings to mind many of those wonderful first-time experiences that I’ve lived through my life. The first time I graduated from the military. The first time I’ve gotten my driver’s license, and buying my first 911 20 years later. The first time visiting Paris. The first time in Tokyo with my girlfriend. The first time in Rome and seeing Caravaggio’s work. Receiving @berneron’s watch brings about those “first-time” emotions.



There are about of handful of wonderful experiences I’ve encountered with watch collecting throughout the last 20 odd years. This is one of them. From my Guillermo Reverso watches, to the Paneristi 10th year Anniversary watch #pam360, my rapport with Shapiro, Simon Brette and Mathieu Clegeur — I’ve cherished all of these experiences.

Thank you all for looking, wishing everyone a blessed Sunday.
