Yesterday, following what felt like an eternity, I took delivery of the Berneron Mirage 38/34. It is nothing like any watch I have ever owned. The fit and finish far exceed any other watch that I have handled. And it is abundantly clear that every last de...  

That’s a truly beautiful watch. Congratulations.

Very far out.

Daliesque.

some doing what the big brands are afraid to do. Innovate

It is sad looking at the watch industry writ large.

But there is no doubt that it makes a statement!

Congratulations on adding a real special watch to your collection. Sylvain has taken fine watchmaking in an interesting new direction. Given the popularity and accolades that the Mirage has received, I know Sylvain is going to inspire watchmakers and bran... 

It would be great to see more watchmakers exercise the passion and conviction of Sylvain. However, we humans are risk averse and often lack confidence - this is one of those situations where someone caught lightning in a bottle.

It's definitely an eye stopper like the Crash.

Or with their workshop?

Interestingly, and you probably know this, but Sylvain let the mechanics “break free,” ie, let the mechanics be shaped by the attributes that he was looking for in a watch (72 hour power reserve, large balance, etc.), then designed the case around the mis... 

I would be lying if I’d didn’t say I find these attractive and interesting. And yes, the thinness is an also a big advantage. These are 7mm or so, that’s not something many others are doing. I see this watch in the same way as I saw my Urwerk or Chaykin. ... 

I need to allow some of my thoughts to become concrete before putting pen to paper because today I have a different impression than yesterday. I will certainly supplement my thoughts! I am hoping this will become a key part of my rotation.

Congratulations. Well done! You must have ordered it before this brand became so hot. I reached out to them about 6 months ago and didn’t even hear back.

So well before it became hot. I saw the render, reached out to Sylvain, we talked on the phone for an hour, and I was utterly convinced by him and the product. If you did not get a response I would urge you to reach back out. Sylvain is one of the most re... 

It makes the watch even so much more special. Congratulations again. Wear it in the best of health.

stupendously gorgeous! I cannot think of anything so fascinating to look at, fun, and beautiful all in one package (not including that amazing movement!)!

Not going to lie, I’m having a blast with it so far!

Daring design and classic at the same time, I like the feeling to have something different, clearly not mainstream. It flies under the radar and you can enjoy an amazing piece… in peace 😉. I smiled when you mentioned the pebble from LF (I have a soft spot... 

I breaks the monotony on watch design and goes one level up building the consistency on the movement side too ! Could you kindly add the pic of movement please ? thank you. Best, mahesh.,
