Berneron's All-Gold Mirage Miroir Watch Limited to 36 Yearly
Independent brand Berneron reveals the Mirage Miroir, an asymmetric, openworked dress watch crafted entirely in 18K gold.
Independent Swiss watch brand Berneron has unveiled the Mirage Miroir, a new evolution of its asymmetric dress watch crafted entirely from 18K gold. The watch is defined by a mirrored, openworked movement and will be produced in a series of just 36 pieces per colorway each year.
From its organic-shaped case to its hands, spring bars, and movement bridges, every component is made from solid gold. This uncompromising build defines the piece's discreet luxury. The asymmetry of the design is drawn not from the external form but from the mechanics within.
The Mirrored Movement Construction
At the core of the watch is the in-house Caliber 283. This movement introduces what Berneron calls a mirrored construction. Its bridges and mainplate are architecturally designed to guide the eye and act as visual markers for telling the time, reimagining the concept of openworking.
The movement is just 2.83 mm thick. It features an inverted hand set with the hour hand on top, a free-sprung balance wheel, and offers a 72-hour power reserve. A traditional seconds counter is omitted to maximize the openwork aesthetic. Instead, the rotating seconds wheel itself serves as a running indicator.
Artisanal Craft and Decoration
Berneron's commitment to artisanal craft is evident in the movement's finishing. Decorative techniques including guillochage, anglage, and laser engraving raise its architectural presence. The brand states this highlights its dedication to high-quality, limited production.
The watch is water-resistant to 30 meters. It is fitted with a scratch-resistant coated Hesalite crystal. Owners can configure it on either a Barenia leather strap or a matching solid gold bracelet.
Limited Production and Pricing
Production is strictly limited. Each colorway of the Mirage Miroir will be made at a rate of 36 pieces per year. This initial Series A is planned over a 10-year cycle, with the first deliveries scheduled to begin in October 2027.
The pricing structure reflects the use of precious materials and the watch's exclusive nature. The following table details the configurations and their Swiss Franc prices, with approximate US Dollar conversions provided by the source.
| Configuration | Price (CHF) | Approx. Price (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| On Barenia leather strap | 72,500 | 89,528 |
| On matching 18K solid gold bracelet | 130,250 | 160,842 |
With its all-gold construction and mirrored mechanical heart, the Mirage Miroir represents a significant statement from the independent brand. Initial deliveries are set for October 2027.
