Berneron Mirage
A couple of photos of the white gold Mirage. Seen in London last week.

Heavily hyped by the
Hodinkee watch influencers.
Definitely running up a potential secondary market where they butter their bread.

Secondary market is already running wild. I never turn down an opportunity to photograph something unusual though!
Thanks! Overcast skies in an alleyway next to pub in London! Ideal conditions for a rogue photographer like me.
Never liked it
And tbh can’t also stand the Cartier Crash
But his second watch, the annual calendar is one I like a lot
Shaped watches are certainly divisive!
I am more inclined towards the work of Gilbert Albert with regards asymmetrical watches.
Certainly a bit odd with this one seeing that the overall package is interesting, but the movement is quite plain to look at in my opinion.
No questions there are a lot of new talents in watchmaking and new opportunities...
A pity they are like IPOs, loved by "hedge funds and private equity-like speculative" collectors, pushing to the sky.
Reality is many new brands are not for regular collectors anymore unless deep pockets.
Once they won GPHG or some LV awards....Bingo! Jackpot! Strike like a lottery win!
Maybe they do deserve the attention, still unpolish gems and more to fly....but what do I know?
The starting prices are never designed to attract regular collectors unless north of $50k is regular...Actually, it probably is.
Very true as we see it, this is an expensive hobby....
For initial supporters of each brand, who put faith and $$ into something not seen or just a prototype, well worth it and well deserved.
Congrats by the way, if you are the lucky owner.

The watch belongs to a friend. Not my taste, but I love the opportunity to handle and photograph new watches.
There are very few untraditional watches that I like
and even then I prefer traditional shapes. For some unknown reason I have found this one attractive from the get-go. I do prefer the RG version. I’m impressed by how the movement has been shaped to agree with the case.
I quite like the side profile and the slim case. The stone dials are more attractive to my eyes than this version with the numerals and minute track.
It has an undeniable appeal mainly because of its slimness and novelty. Not my style, but very interesting.
Very cool.
I have not heard hype, so I guess I'm lucky. Their 34mm "Tiger Eye" is one of the most compelling watches I've encountered in recent years. I mean, any time the movement is designed to match the case &c., is a sight.
My wife wants to share one. I said, absolutely. Just waiting for her to make the purchase LOL.
