I'm tempted. Do you put down the whole amount or a deposit? Thanks!

A new video was just posted by Hodinkee with Sylvain Berneron. It’s pretty good and worth a listen.

Mine will be delivered by the end of 2024. I'm in the 13-24 range - my wedding year. The watch is stunning and Sylvain is a great guy to boot.

You should probably email Sylvain, he is very responsive. Normally it is 50% wired up front when you order, 50% on delivery.

Another lovely video of the passionate watchmaker. He spoke about an order book until 2029 but he has frozen taking orders for now. Happy to see him doing well. Another interesting thing is 80% of the Mirage (case + movement) is in gold.

very cool watches, but at that price point there is a lot of good competition competing for your dollars. My hunch is collectors picking this up already have a good amount of high horology watches

Am sure Sylvian will be fine. I've attended ~200 luxury shows, yes the smaller independents have a lot at stake. Even just the costs to rent the space, take care of meals, etc... the costs can be quite... stressful.

Ken from Delugs sounds like a giant prick. That's my take away from that.

When a story sounds bizarre like that I tend to be skeptical... But hey it's the Internet can say whatever you want I guess and people take it as the truth
