MIrage

SIENNA 38mm

The Mirage is the first shaped watch to draw its asymmetry from its caliber, rather than from an external free shape. Drawn to let the mechanics go freely (large barrel, direct small second & pocket watch style balance wheel), the movement escapes from the circle to then offer a combination of finesse and very advanced performance. Its total absence of symmetry creates a harmony that is both imperfect and deliberate. With its all-gold construction and special effort devoted to its finesse, it conveys a message of uncompromising elegance and discreet luxury.


An unparalleled blend of art
and technic.


Sienna is a pigment that takes its name from the place where it was produced, the Italian city-state of Sienna. In its natural state, raw sienna is yellowish brown, but becomes a reddish brown when heated. It was one of the first pigments used for painting and can be found in prehistoric cave art; it was then further developed for artistic use during the Renaissance.

CALIBER 233

Technical excellence is for us inseparable of our search for character and uniqueness. Our caliber 233 aims to capture the best of both worlds, thus blending art and technique in an unparalleled way.
The technical layout breaks free from the traditional circle, to carry a larger barrel, enhancing power reserve. We developed a specific complication: the handset is reversed, enabling a slimmer case profile. The movement structure, made out of 18k solid gold, is also as thin as possible (2,30mm thick).

QUALITY STANDARDS

In a desire to take no shortcuts, we have set ourselves a set of demanding standards for Berneron watches. They will allow us to offer not only high quality timepieces, but also the service that goes with them for a well rounded experience over time.

  • Going beyond ‘Swiss made’ label
    While the ‘Swiss made’ label only requires 60% of components to be made in Switzerland, we manufacture all our components in the cantons of Neuchâtel and Jura, supporting the local economy.

  • 24 pieces per year
    With a production of 12 Mirage Sienna and 12 Mirage Prussian Blue per year, each piece carries its own unique number.

    Matching numbers
    Each metal variant has its own nomenclature, which offers the possibility of having a set with matching numbers.

  • Warranty
    2 years, under terms and conditions.

    Maintenance
    Service intervals can go from 5 and 10 years depending on use.
    Service can be carried out by your local watchmaker (once we have sent a spare parts kit), or directly by us in Switzerland.
